Download from TER or require (`composer require beechit/default-upload-folder`) extension default\_upload\_folder 2. Install extension default\_upload\_folder via the extension manager 3. Create the default folders or the folder is automatically created *(Editors needs access to storage and the folder root)* 4. Add configuration to pageTs ``` default_upload_folders { # folder can be a combined identifier tx_news_domain_model_news = 1:news # Or a folder relative to the default upload folder of the user tx_news_domain_model_news = news # You can set a folder for the whole table or for a specific field of that table tx_news_domain_model_news.fal_related_files = news_downloads tx_news_domain_model_news.fal_media = news_media # You can set a fallback for all tables defaultForAllTables = 1:myDefaultUploadFolderForThisPartOfTheTree # You can set a default year/month/day folder within the set default folder tx_news_domain_model_news.dateformat = 1 tx_news_domain_model_news = 1:news/{Y}/{m} } ``` **FAQ** *What happens when the editor does not have access to the upload folder?* > The "Select & upload files" and "Add media by URL" buttons are not available for the editor *How do the fallbacks work?* > 1. First it will check if there is a default upload folder for the table & field combination. > 2. Then it will check if there is a default upload folder for the table. > 3. Finally, it will check if there is configuration for `defaultForAllTables` *Are folders automatically created?* > Yes, but only if path set with combined identifiers like 1:myNewsPicturesFolder *How to use the year/month/week/day feature?* > 1. Make sure the variable `tx_mews_domain_model_news` has the `dateformat` value set to `1`. > 2. Then (over)write the original variable however you prefer: `tx_news_domain_model_news = 1:news/{Y}/{m}` > 3. This will translate into: `1:news/2023/06` which in turn creates the directory: `news/2023/06` *Why does the year/month/week/day feature not use the php strftime function & format?* > The strftime function has been deprecated in PHP 8.1, and will be [removed in PHP 9.](https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strftime.php) > > Currently, there is no proper solution that takes localisation in consideration. Hence, the choice to create a custom interpreter. The values used are based on the [date() -> Parameter Values](https://www.w3schools.com/php/func_date_date.asp)format. the values currently in use are: > > - Y - A four digit representation of a year > - y - A two digit representation of a year > - m - A numeric representation of a month (from 01 to 12) > - n - A numeric representation of a month, without leading zeros (1 to 12) > - d - The day of the month (from 01 to 31) > - j - The day of the month without leading zeros (1 to 31) > - W - The ISO-8601 week number of year (weeks starting on Monday) > - w - A numeric representation of the day (0 for Sunday, 6 for Saturday) > > The other values are currently **not** in use. > > This functionality might be refactored in the future when php offers a proper replacement to the removal of `strftime`. **Requirements:** > TYPO3 V12.4 **Changes TYPO3 V12:** > Converted from Hook to Event, as Hooks are depricated. > > Specifically: > > Added Services.yaml (as required for Event handling) Now receives $backendUserAuthentication directly from $GLOBALS\['BE\_USER'\]. ### Health Score 53 — FairBetter than 97% of packages Maintenance59 Moderate activity, may be stable Popularity43 Moderate usage in the ecosystem Community25 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity73 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor2 2 contributors hold 50%+ of commits How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
