Creating a folder when registering a User using DA

Hi Guys, Happy New Year …

I have an admin folder which contains the usual suspects, Add New User etc. What I would like to do is when I add a New user and click submit the normal data is written to the DB but I would also like to create a folder which is linked solely to that individual user.

I also have a client side admin area. Within this area I would like to have a page where a client user can then upload images to this folder.

I would be so grateful if anyone could help with the following:

1. What would be the best way to create a folder when adding a New User.

2. How would I go about binding this folder to the New User in the Client area.

Kind regards

Jonathon

You would need to create the folder using PHP. e.g

<?php
mkdir("/path/to/my/dir", 0700);
?>

BUT, if you want to make it unique to the user you would need to name the folder as the unique ID as the user.

So assuming you had the new user ID in a Session Variable called userid it would be something like...

<?php
mkdir("/path/to/my/".$_SESSION['userid']."", 0700);
?>

Then you would always refer to the folder using the userid Session Variable when the user had logged in.

This is similar to what I am looking for - can you expand o how I can add this when creating a new user insert new with data assist

thank you

There are different approaches that you can take, depending on your application.

Essentially you need to

a) Use the insert record behaviour to add the record and assign the unique ID to a session. Do not provide a redirect for this.

b) Use the code i provided above to run using the same trigger as your insert behaviour

c) Redirect to the next stage or page for your application
