Folder Names Spaces

Post by moriwenne »

Greets.

I was wondering, is the user forced to create folders without spaces to use phoca properly?

Here's the situation. You go to multiple add, you use the "Create folder" box and write "Word1 word2" as name of the folder. Works ok. You upload some pics to it and then set it to a category.

Now you come back to multiple add because you want to add a couple more images. You navigate through a directory tree to the "Word1 word2" directory and click it. You would expect to enter that folder and see the images already inside but no, it sends you back to the directory tree. I was wondering why that was so and noticed that a folder named "Word1Word2" (no spaces between words) entered just fine.

Phoca can't handle folders with spaces in them? Or is something else going on?

Thank you for your time.

PS: I have all the interest in creating folders with spaces because when I'm adding as category it takes that name as title. Otherwise a new step would be required to change the name.

Hi, this depens on your server, but mostly there is a problem with spaces or some bad characters in folder or file names :-( so it is recommended to not add spaces there :(
