[FEATURE] Custom Upload Directory

Postby awpti » Wed Apr 08, 2009 4:02 am

Right now, the option to upload file relies on the path you provide for music files, eg;

/usr/local/music = Music Dir

/usr/local/music/Incoming = automatically decided incoming directory.

Can that be changed to a separate setting and not pre-defined based upon a music directory?

I agree with this. I'd prefer to not have that folder mixed in with my music folder.

Temporary workaround

Postby freleu » Fri Apr 10, 2009 3:05 pm

Ok I did a litle temporary "workaround" for this.

1. As admin - go a head and point out/add the directory where you want the Incoming repository to be. Activate it.

With standalone:
In youre <SUBSONIC_HOME>/jetty/webapp/WEB-INF/jsp
If you pulled it with the Tomcatserver instead there should be a WEB-INF directory inside the subsonic folder.

However. There in this folder you have "more.jsp" this is the page that is shown when clicked on the More-button on the page.

First take a backup, (copy the file to more.jsp.bkp or something,)
Then (since there is no way for me to upload a copy of the "more.jsp" i do like this: (open more.jsp with a texteditor and copy all of the following codecontent, mark all the content in youre more.jsp and paste the "new" content.)
Code: Select all
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=utf-8" pageEncoding="iso-8859-1"%>



<html><head>

    <%@ include file="head.jsp" %>

    <style type="text/css">

        #progressBar {width: 350px; height: 10px; border: 1px solid black; display:none;}

        #progressBarContent {width: 0; height: 10px; background: url("<c:url value="/icons/progress.png"/>") repeat;}

    </style>

    <script type="text/javascript" src="<c:url value="/dwr/interface/transferService.js"/>"></script>

    <script type="text/javascript" src="<c:url value="/dwr/engine.js"/>"></script>

    <script type="text/javascript" src="<c:url value="/dwr/util.js"/>"></script>



    <script type="text/javascript">

        function refreshProgress() {

            transferService.getUploadInfo(updateProgress);

        }



        function updateProgress(uploadInfo) {



            var progressBar = document.getElementById("progressBar");

            var progressBarContent = document.getElementById("progressBarContent");

            var progressText = document.getElementById("progressText");





            if (uploadInfo.bytesTotal > 0) {

                var percent = Math.ceil((uploadInfo.bytesUploaded / uploadInfo.bytesTotal) * 100);

                var width = parseInt(percent * 3.5) + 'px';

                progressBarContent.style.width = width;

                progressText.innerHTML = percent + "<fmt:message key="more.upload.progress"/>";

                progressBar.style.display = "block";

                progressText.style.display = "block";

                window.setTimeout("refreshProgress()", 1000);

            } else {

                progressBar.style.display = "none";

                progressText.style.display = "none";

                window.setTimeout("refreshProgress()", 5000);

            }

        }

    </script>



</head>

What I have done is to completely removed the input text, that makes the textbox with a choice of changing the destination. the functionality is still there as a input-hidden. However. I did also want the uploads should be put into the current usernames own "folder".
You need however do some editing youre self. Down in the file you have:


Code: Select all
<td>
         <input type="hidden" id="dir" name="dir" size="37" value="/REPLACE/THIS/WITH/YOUR/PREFFERED/DESTINATION/${model.user.username}"/>
         Music will be uploaded into the "Uploaded" directory under you current username.
                  
      </td>

Replace the destination text with youre destination. Save the file and try upload something.
If you get a permission denied as I did was because I had not added the new incoming directory from inside subsonic.

Tested and works well in my version: 3.6 (build 806) – den 1 februari 2009, but you have to take the responsibility for youre self - use this on youre own risk.

I 3rd (or forth? ;))

The upload location should be an admin option and thus the textbox read-only
5.257 artists
5.902 albums
69.903 songs
458.50 GB (~ 7.122 hours)

I disagree. I want my users to be able to set the directory depending upon what they are uploading.

since this is another "wich way is best" requests, why not makei it optional in the settings menu of the admin. I can understand both sides, and personally i like the user folder under incoming solution.

Re: [FEATURE] Custom Upload Directory

Postby MB0404 » Fri Mar 06, 2015 3:09 pm

I have also seen that little issue in the tomcat-version of subsonic.

Maybe its easier to give tomcat the access to the folder and upload to that folder directly.
In this way in my config the zip-file needs to be built as following:

    Artist.zip_
    I_Album-1
    I__ Files.mp3
If an artist already exists, but not the album, the upload will just add the album under that artists folder.
For me it's the easiest way of managing my files. and it requires yust a little change in "subsonic/WEB-INF/jsp/more.jsp"

there I changed
Code: Select all
<td><input type="text" id="dir" name="dir" size="37" value="${model.uploadDirectory}"/></td>

to
Code: Select all
<td><input type="text" id="dir" name="dir" size="37" value="/var/music"/></td>

Re: [FEATURE] Custom Upload Directory

Postby n8ivetxn » Wed Aug 10, 2016 4:22 am

Bumping this one with another request for this feature that originated 7 years ago.

7. Years. Ago.

The system should be smart enough to create username upload folders whenever a new user is created.

The file path should be obscured from the user instead of exposing the full path to the user. I don't care to expose this info to anyone.

Auto-detect the file type after upload, have and include/exclude file type list and...

Audio file formats allowed on the system should then go into a subfolder labelled 'music'.

Video file formats allowed on the system should then go to a subfolder labelled 'video'.

Anything else goes into an 'Other' folder since the system is still allowing anything to be uploaded or delete files after upload if they are on the excluded file type list.

So the path could be something like this for OSX...

/Volumes/DriveName/WhateverIWant/UserName/Music

and

/Volumes/DriveName/WhateverIWant/UserName/Video

and

/Volumes/DriveName/WhateverIWant/UserName/Other

Just my $.02
