Media Folder Per User

Unread post by Freebien »

Hi !

I'm New to MadSonic, but I've been using Subsonic from a few months. And one thing that I would want to get would be a media folder per user.
Maybe something done with the login. It would be like :

New Media Folder : User
Path : /home/$login

With the database part it's quiet difficult to do it, so, maybe we can do a new user folder system which will just make, for each user his own media folder.

Do you think it could be possible ? :D

It's a lot of manual work, but it can be done with the current system.

Create groups with the same name as your users, then grant each user access to only their group. Add each group the proper access to your media folders, and you should be good to go.

But like I said, it will be a LOT of work if you have many users.

Yeah, I thought about that, but it would be a lot of work to do it. But if it's the only way i'll do it this way.

I was thinking about an automation of the creation of the media folder path AND the group, with the good access rights on them.

Could it be possible ?
