Set File Manager 'HOME FOLDER' For New Users

Using Concrete / Help
1

Morning all. I am diving into C5-9 for the first time and so far I am liking it. I am trying to set up a user attribute (that is a file) for a particular user group but I would like for the files that the new users upload to go to a particular folder. I can see that if I edit an individual user i can select the HOME FOLDER for them but how can I make it preset for all users in that group (or just all HTML Input uploads {ie not through the file manager}). Also, is there a way to have new users be able to select between two groups? ie Parents / Students

THanks in advance.

I pieced together something that seems to work. Tacking it on here for posterity. The code below checks for a folder called ‘Fencers’ and if none, creates one. Then does the same for the ‘Name’ attribute. Lastly, looks for a folder with the current year (season) within the new ‘Name’ folder. Over two years it should look like this.

Fencers

Any improvement recommendations welcome.

I placed it in /application/controllers/single_page/register.php just after…

if (is_object($process)) {
                $process->saveUserAttributesForm($aks);
//CREATE FOLDERS AND MOVE FILES TO IT
if ($process->getAttribute('membertype')=='Fencer') {
	$date = date_create();
	$dateStamp = date_timestamp_get($date);
	if ($process->getAttribute('name')!='') {
		$name = $process->getAttribute('name');
	} else {
		$name = 'Untitled-'.$dateStamp;	
	}

	$curmonth = date('n', time());
	$curyear = date('Y', time());
	if ($curmonth>3) {
		$year = $curyear. '-' . substr($curyear+1, -2);
	} else {
		$year = $curyear-1 . '-' . substr($curyear, -2);
	}
	$filesystem = new Filesystem();

	$baseFolderName = 'Fencers';
	$basefolder = FileFolder::getNodeByName($baseFolderName);
	if (!is_object($basefolder)) {
		$folder = $filesystem->getRootFolder();
		$folderName = t($baseFolderName);
		$basefolder = $filesystem->addFolder($folder, $folderName);
	}

	$memberFolderName = $name;
	$memberfolder = FileFolder::getNodeByName($memberFolderName);
	if (!is_object($memberfolder)) {
		$folder = $basefolder;
		$folderName = t($memberFolderName);
		$memberfolder = $filesystem->addFolder($folder, $folderName);
	}					


	$yearFolderName = $year;
	$yearfolder = $filesystem->getRootFolder()->getChildFolderByPath([$memberFolderName, $yearFolderName]);
	if (!is_object($yearfolder)) {
		$folder = $memberfolder;
		$folderName = t($yearFolderName);
		$yearfolder = $filesystem->addFolder($folder, $folderName);
	}


	$fileID = $process->getAttribute('photo');
	$file = \File::getByID($fileID); // by ID
	if($file) {
		$fileNode = $file->getFileNodeObject();
		if (is_object($fileNode)) {
			$fileNode->move($memberfolder);
		}
	}

	$fileID = $process->getAttribute('usfa_membership_card');
	$file = \File::getByID($fileID); // by ID
	if($file) {
		$fileNode = $file->getFileNodeObject();
		if (is_object($fileNode)) {
			$fileNode->move($yearfolder);
		}
	}

	$fileID = $process->getAttribute('vax');
	$file = \File::getByID($fileID); // by ID
	if($file) {
		$fileNode = $file->getFileNodeObject();
		if (is_object($fileNode)) {
			$fileNode->move($yearfolder);
		}
	}

}
