Symlink to custom_img in library folder

[henryk86]

It would be a simple solution to upload custom images for the tonies.custom.json if the custom_img folder would be available within the library.

it could be done within the docker compose file

after volumes:

command: >
      sh -c "ln -sf /teddycloud/data/www/custom_img/ /teddycloud/data/library/custom_img"

I created a symlink which does this, but in the gui its not recognized as a directory.

http://teddycloud.local/api/fileIndexV2?path=/&special=library

returns isDir = false for a symlink. But if i adapt the code and handle every entry like a directory, it opens the symlink as expected and i can upload a file within.

Can this be fixed easily?

according chatGPT (^^) this should be easily possible (but after some research this works only on specific platform... else it is more complex...):

teddycloud/src/handler_api.c

Line 574 in 9e05ef8

error_t handleApiFileIndexV2(HttpConnection *connection, const char_t *uri, const char_t *queryString, client_ctx_t *client_ctx)

call a new function:

bool isDirectory(const FileSystemEntry& entry) {
    // Check if it's a directory using attributes
    if (entry.attributes & FS_FILE_ATTR_DIRECTORY) {
        return true;
    }

    // Check if it's a symlink
    if (entry.attributes & FS_FILE_ATTR_SYMLINK) {
        struct stat info;
        // Resolve the symlink and check if the target is a directory
        if (stat(entry.path.c_str(), &info) == 0 && S_ISDIR(info.st_mode)) {
            return true;
        }
    }

    return false;
}
