rights by folder and by user

I'm interested in this as well! I haven't found an elegant way to do this with the current version of CKFinder.. Currently, what I do, is to create a role and an AccessControl array for each user. In addition I have a role named "general" for which all the user folders are hidden.

The problem with my solution is that all the user-folders are shown in the folder list, even though one user cannot see the files in another user's folder (it will appear blank) or do any modifications to it. Still, it looks messy with the long folder-list. It's also important to auto-open the user's folder, otherwise he/she will probably not find it in the long list...

I hope something more elegant will be possible in future versions of CKFinder.

/*
Restrict access to member images
*/
$config['AccessControl'][] = Array(
      'role' => 'general',
      'resourceType' => 'Medlemsbilder',
      'folder' => '/',

      'folderView' => false,
      'folderCreate' => false,
      'folderRename' => false,
      'folderDelete' => false,

      'fileView' => false,
      'fileUpload' => false,
      'fileRename' => false,
      'fileDelete' => false);

for ($i = 1; $i <= count($users); $i++) {

   $config['AccessControl'][] = Array(
         'role' => 'user'.$i,
         'resourceType' => 'Medlemsbilder',
         'folder' => '/',
   
         'folderView' => true,
         'folderCreate' => false,
         'folderRename' => false,
         'folderDelete' => false,
   
         'fileView' => false,
         'fileUpload' => false,
         'fileRename' => false,
         'fileDelete' => false);

   $config['AccessControl'][] = Array(
         'role' => 'user'.$i,
         'resourceType' => 'Medlemsbilder',
         'folder' => '/'.$i,
   
         'folderView' => true,
         'folderCreate' => false,
         'folderRename' => false,
         'folderDelete' => false,
   
         'fileView' => true,
         'fileUpload' => true,
         'fileRename' => true,
         'fileDelete' => true);

}

You can set the base path different for each user, so they don't see anything else and that's the easiest solution

something like

if ($userName == 'Peter')
$baseUrl = '/PeterFiles/pictures/';
else
$baseUrl = '/userfiles/pictures/';

You can expand this to anything that you need, like
$baseUrl = '/userfiles/' . $userName . '/pictures/';

or whatever you need.
