Who wants to beta test the new OUPower software?

Chris,

Spent a while tonight playing around and trying to break things. Added 50 nested directories, and while they messed up the front page a little bit (made it scroll a bit off horizontally), didn't break anything.

Manipulated URLs to change directory into different peoples names, non-existant names, etc.., but to no avil. Got a lot of "illegal directory" messages. Tried moving and deleting adam's and bob's files, but wouldn't allow me.

I did notice, that if you create a directory inside a directory (test1/test2, for instance), if you then go into test1 and try to "mv" test2 (in an attempt to change its name, for instance), it always gets bumped back up to your home directory. The only way to change a name of a file or directory within a directory is to "mv" it to "path/to/file/or/directory/new_name"

Hi Nakros,

Thank you for the thorough testing. I appreciate it greatly. The "messing up of the main page" is going to be fixed shortly.

I will be installing code that ONLY shows your name (which is your root level) along with the total number of pics in your project directories and an appropriate UPDATED message. This way you can't clutter up the main page no matter how many directories you make.

Regarding the move (mv) process. Yes that is by design. You must give the full path to the destination file just as you discovered. I toyed with it many different ways but this was the only way to keep things secure. It's a small price to pay for the ability to move/rename things so easily right from the interface. I show the path to you from the old name so you can copy/paste that into the new name if you're just doing a rename.

Chris,

As a feature request, it would be nice to have a "rename" button as well, which keeps the image or directory at the same location, but simply renames it. Yeah, it's a small thing, but it would be handy, I would think (and not all that much code, depending, of course, on how it's all implemented)

Once again, great job on the code, Chris! It has *almost* inspired me to write a few CGI or PHP scripts for my website to make things easier to update. *almost* simply because after 8 or 10 hours a day of coding, the last thing I want to see when I get home is a computer .

Last time I tried, Directory traversal was possible in the project manager ..
I could only see pictures on different directories on the website .. But nonetheless, it gives the directory structure which is bad .

You filter * .. *

Works when DrillDown == yes.. Otherwise doesn't .
