Using File Manager to create subfolders

    Using File Manager to create subfolders

    Hello,

    I would like to upload a course content - which is orginized as a collection of folders and subfolders - into the ATutor files. I am using Tools -> Instructor Tools -> File Manager

    There I see two options: "create folder" and "Upload".

    No matter what I do, every folder I create ends up being a top-level folder. Is it possible to create sub-folders using the FIle Manager? How do I do it?

    I am using ATutor 1.4.1 on Windows XP.

    Thank you,

    Inna Zharnitsky

    Enter into a folder to create a subfolder

    Enter the folder into which you want to add a subfolder. Then create a new folder.

    You could also zip the folders and files together, upload the zip file, then unzip the file in the filemanager to recreate the subfolders.

    Creating subfolders in File Manager

    Greg,

    Thank you for your reply.

    > Enter the folder into which you want to add a subfolder. Then create a new folder.


    I have tried doing that - and a new folder is created on the top level, not as a sub-folder.

    Let me describe my steps:

    1)Go to Tools-> File Manager
    Path to Current Directory: Home /
    create folder "parent".

    2) Click on "parent" link - now I am in "parent" folder.
    Path to Current Directory: Home / parent

    3) Create folder "child".

    Now I see the message:
    Path to Current Directory: Home /

    and I see folders "parent" and "child".
    But "child" is on the top level, just like "parent"
    Path to Current Directory: Home / child

    Am I doing smth wrong?

    fix

    replace line293 in tools/file_manager.php:
    echo '<form name="form1" method="post" action="'.$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].'?frame='.$_GET['frame'].'">'."\n";

    with:
    echo '<form name="form1" method="post" action="'.$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].'?frame='.$_GET['frame'].SEP.'pathext='.$pathext.'">'."\n";

    fix 2

    you have to put the $pathext as urlencode($pathext)
    so line 293 is actually:
    echo '<form name="form1" method="post" action="'.$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].'?frame='.$_GET['frame'].SEP.'pathext='.urlencode($pathext).'">'."\n";
