#571 – specific path for image storage

Hello,

I installed econa for com_contact and com_content (category: site, documentation ...)
Is it possible to indicate the path according to one of these uses? because otherwise I risk having hundreds (see thousands with other dimensions) without being able to decide between them!
Regards

Hi,

Can you please clarify? Are you using custom fields? Are you talking about content images?

Regards

HI,
Yes I only use the custom fields version because it allows me to download the mandatory image and position it where I want!
REgards

Custom fields have already their own storage path which has the following structure:

images/econa/fields/FIELD_ID/com_content_article/ARTICLE_ID
images/econa/fields/FIELD_ID/com_contacts_contact/CONTACT_ID

So there will be no thousands of files in the same directory. Unless you mean something else.

Regards

HI,
I misspoke. I understand at the file level. The problem comes from the number of files under com_content_article
In this documentary site, I will probably have thousands of articles in several categories.
com_content
-website
-document
--book
--web article
--video
--movie
...
I asked for the possibility of manually indicating this structure in the file tree. I imagine it is difficult! Maybe easier to insert the category id between com_content_article and the article ID? Of course, changing the architecture is difficult. Maybe a legacy mode with the new version of joomla 4?
Regards

I don't think this will be implemented. Too much effort for something that is not needed for 99% of the users. Maybe we implement something different based on the article date like:
images/econa/fields/FIELD_ID/com_content_article/ARTICLE_DATE/ARTICLE_ID
This way even if you have thousands of articles there will be no problem.

HI,
OK I understand. In my case the date will not be interesting because I will overwrite it to put the date of creation of the resource.
I would have preferred the id of the category but indeed there would be problem if the category of the article is changed.
I think elsewhere on forums
