JFormField for folders and file listing on server side

[bcordis]

Update system to allow for server side listing of file and folders under the drop-down lists.

Is this referring to when the user is adding a media file? Which drop-down lists is this talkin about?

[bcordis]

Yes I'm thinking this could populate the field based on if it is a local
folder.

When you say populate the field, which field are you referring to?

I think what Brent is after is that when a user adds a media file to a study record the option to select a file on the server. It wouldn't be a drop down but a browse selector from a server file, rather than a local file on the admin's computer. Sort of like JCE when you have the insert image dialogue you can choose a little icon on the upper right that allows you to insert a file from the server.

O ok, I understand now.

[bcordis]

Yes. Just trying to get a good way to show the local server files to be added to the mediafile table.

The servers workflow, I think fall into the same category as #148. Users can have a local server, remote FTP server, media from third party services (youtube, vimeo, etc), Amazon S3, etc.

Ideally this should be more modular to make it simpler for the user.

I think we should change this issue to refactor the way that servers are managed, and push it off to JBS 8.2.

The other option is to actually implement this particular feature with the current code base in the best way possible so that it can be delivered with JBS 8.1.

What do you think?

[bcordis]

Yes in a way that do as we fix up the new system.

In Joomla 4, we are now moving to the Media Manager to handle this. We will be implementing this in the new version.
