Default upload folder

Make it possible to configure the default upload folder for a certain TCA column

How to use:

1. Download from TER or require (composer require beechit/default-upload-folder) extension default_upload_folder
2. Install extension default_upload_folder via the extension manager
3. Create the default folders or the folder is automatically created (Editors needs access to storage and the folder root)
4. Add configuration to pageTs

    default_upload_folders {
        # folder can be a combined identifier
        tx_news_domain_model_news = 1:news
        # Or a folder relative to the default upload folder of the user
        tx_news_domain_model_news = news

        # You can set a folder for the whole table of for a specific field of that table
        tx_news_domain_model_news.fal_related_files = news_downloads
        tx_news_domain_model_news.fal_media = news_media

        # You can set a fallback for all tables
        defaultForAllTables = 1:myDefaultUploadFolderForThisPartOfTheTree
    }

FAQ

What happens when the editor does not have access to the upload folder?

The "Select & upload files" and "Add media by URL" buttons are not available for the editor

How do the fallbacks work?

1. First it will check if there is a default upload folder for the table & field combination.
2. Then it will check if there is a default upload folder for the table.
3. Finally, it will check if there is configuration for defaultForAllTables

Are folders automatically created?

Yes, but only if path set with combined identifiers like 1:myNewsPicturesFolder
