How to know the last selected folder?

[unix4you2]

Hi!

I'm writting an extension for this tool that gives to the user the possibility to create a new folder or file, change permissions and more. A simplified file manager that could be attached to any jqueryfiletree but I need to know hot to get the last folder or file selected in the jqueryfiletree and if there is any possibility to select files using double click.

Thanks!

Hello again.

I decided to add an event to the connector over the anchor created in the tree for files and folders using a global javascript variable to save the data:

• For folders:
  OnClick=\"LastFolderSelected='" . htmlentities($_POST['dir'] . $file) . "';\"
• For files:
  OnClick=\"LastFileSelected='" . htmlentities($_POST['dir'] . $file) . "';\"

Then I can use that vars in any JS to know the last path or file selected in the tree.. Should be this feature usefful? Could I add it to a new PR over all connectors?

Regards.

I haven't worked with this project in a pretty long while so I'm a bit rusty with details on the fly, but that could be done with a trigger outside of JQFT. Something like:

$('.filetree').on('filetreeclicked', function(e, data) {
 console.log( data.type );
 // assign to LastFileSelected / LastFolderSelected, and/or take other action(s) you want
});

It just depends what you're doing/what you need, I suppose.
