Hello,

What do you think about placing smileys and avatars in specific folder as uploads/smileys or uploads/avatars in next version of xoops?

Why not choose in the admin part the direction of the folder for smileys and avatars...

I think it should be easy to do and would clean the uploads file...

Regards ;)

This will break a lot of sites, which have links in their content to the smilies.
They have already some kind of grouping by their prefix (first letters of their name).

But with configuration, this could be resolved. Also modules should in principle always upload to a subdirectory of it, unless they want to share.

i agree with ghia! uploads folder should have folders withe the installed modules name and the files should be stored there!

Thanks for your answers...

I hope the ones in charge of future version will see this post!

I'm sure it would be possible to configure a default direction for this folders... When i look to my upload folder today, its quite crazy to see so much documents and with names given during upload which doesn't mean anything... so finally how to clean it?

Regards,

If you want a truly integrated site, images/media should be available to all modules and the core, not to just the module where it was added. How many times have you wanted to use an image in another module, only to find you need to upload it again?

actually an imlementation/porting of ajax file manager

http://www.phpletter.com/Demo/Ajax-File--Manager/

would be great! I'm using it for a cms application developing for my company and its very powerfull.

Can be integrated with fck editor, has list or thumbnails view and filesmultiselect, can create folders,edit pictures(crop,resize etc), and last but not least its free :).

The best practice for organizing images and files I think, is through (any) filemanager. Uploading everything in the respective folders (uploads/...), and then when you need to add a file or an image somewhere, call the filemanager again, and just select the file/files that you need.

It needs a bit work to be fully integrated with XOOPS and lots of module developers will have to change their code but i think in the end XOOPS will be very powerful in organizing files. :)
