manually added subfolders are not visible

I'm not sure if I understood the problem. As long as you did not specify any custom ACL settings in the configuration file, the things that are available in CKFinder are simply all the resource types specified in the configuration file.

The admin can enter his folder and is able to upload files and use the auto-generated ressource-folders, but the teamA folder is not visible for him

If baseUrl for admin is set to "/project_data/projectA/admin/" and you are using the default configuration for resource types, what you see in CKFinder is actually:

"/project_data/projectA/admin/files/" (Files)
"/project_data/projectA/admin/images/" (Images)
"/project_data/projectA/admin/flash/" (Flash)

So: "/project_data/projectA/admin/teamA"
indeed might be found in the "Files" resource type, because it does not belong to "/project_data/projectA/admin/files/".

To change this, simply open config.cfm and find:

config.resourceType[1] = structNew();
config.resourceType[1].name = 'Files';
config.resourceType[1].url = config.baseUrl & 'files';
config.resourceType[1].directory = config.baseDir & 'files';

change it to:

config.resourceType[1] = structNew();
config.resourceType[1].name = 'Files';
config.resourceType[1].url = config.baseUrl;
config.resourceType[1].directory = config.baseDir;

(please check it on the development site, as you will change the paths).


A few words of explanation. baseurl / basedir are just helper variables. You are free to create as many resource types as needed, that can point to any location you want, without using helper variables.

config.resourceType[4] = structNew();
config.resourceType[4].name = 'ProjectA';
config.resourceType[4].url = '/project_data/projectA/admin/';
config.resourceType[4].directory = 'C:/SiteDir/project_data/projectA/admin/';
config.resourceType[4].maxSize = 0;
config.resourceType[4].allowedExtensions = 'jpg,png,gif';
config.resourceType[4].deniedExtensions = '';

config.resourceType[5] = structNew();
config.resourceType[5].name = 'ProjectB;
config.resourceType[5].url = '/project_data/projectB/admin/';
config.resourceType[5].directory = 'C:/SiteDir/project_data/projectB/admin/';
config.resourceType[5].maxSize = 0;
config.resourceType[5].allowedExtensions = 'jpg,png,gif';
config.resourceType[5].deniedExtensions = '';

The key thing is that each resource type points to a subfolder of baseUrl (by default), so you were seeing folders like
"/project_data/projectA/admin/files/"
"/project_data/projectA/admin/images/"
etc. (as explained above). In the scenario like yours indeed it could be quite counterintuitive.

If anything is still unclear, let me know.
