Using filemanager with the user's data in a specific rootfolder

[JosHuybrighs]

I am using filemanager in an ASP.NET MVC environment as follows:

"serverRoot": false,
"fileRoot": "Archive",

Interesting to know: The complete filemanager package is located in wwwroot/FMPackage.

With this setup everything works fine except for a couple of things:

1. When initially opened the "Archive" folder (with a big icon) is shown in the center of the page without the subfolders. I have to press the 'Home' button to show the main folders within Archive.
2. When navigating the Current Map text (top left) shows an excessive '/': e.g. Current map: //Pictures.
3. When pressing the 'back' button from within the Archive or Home view filemanager still issues a request to the server to get folder information but with the path set to an empty string.
4. When pressing the 'back' button from within a subfolder it sometimes happens that the current folder is opened again.

I corrected this by changing the following code:

$('#level-up').click(function() {
   var cpath = $('#uploader h1').attr('data-path'); // get path
   // console.log(' cpath : ' + cpath + ' - fileRoot : ' + fileRoot ); // @todo remove
   // MODIFIED: JH
   // remove trailing '/' (if any)
   cpath = cpath.replace(/\/$/, "");
   if (cpath &&
       cpath.length != 0 &&
       cpath != fileRoot) {
      // we get the parent folder - cpath.slice(0, - 1) removes last slash
      parent = cpath.substring(0, cpath.slice(0, - 1).lastIndexOf("/")) + '/';
      // console.log(' parent : ' + parent); // @todo remove
      var currentViewMode = $('#fileinfo').data('view');
      $('#fileinfo').data('view', currentViewMode);
      // MODIFIED: JH !!!!! Navigate back otherwise sometimes re-displays the current folder
//    $('#filetree').find('a[data-path="' + cpath + '"]').click(); // we close the previous folder
      getFolderInfo(parent);
   }
});

// Display Min Path
var displayPath = function(path, reduce) {
    reduce = (typeof reduce === "undefined") ? true : false;

    if(config.options.showFullPath == false) {
    // if a "displayPathDecorator" function is defined, use it to decorate path
    if('function' === typeof displayPathDecorator) {
        return displayPathDecorator(path.replace(fileRoot, "/"));
    } else {
        path = path.replace(fileRoot, "/");
        // MODIFIED: JH - Prevent "//" 
        path = path.replace("//", "/");
        if(path.length > 50 && reduce === true) {
            var n = path.split("/");
            path = '/' + n[1] + '/' + n[2] + '/(...)/' + n[n.length-2] + '/';
        }
        return path;
    }
  } else {
    return path;
  }
};

By the way: I had to modify the c# MVC controller code that comes with the bundle considerably. But that will be subject of another issue I will prepare as soon as I have finished my project.

Best regards,
Jos

@JosHuybrighs : thanks for your feedback. @servocoder is working now on a new version, breaking the current API. See #456. You should maybe wait a little to propose mvc conn enhancements.

Thanks again.
