FileManager S3 settings problem

[ts00617355]

I use S3 (Amazon Simple Storage Service) to connect my FileManager,

http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/RESTBucketGET.html

it's says here has max limit 1000.
so if i have over 1000 pics, it will missing some file or directory in interface
is there has any possible to read by each directory only from s3 ?

like this http://mystorage.s3.amazonaws.com/?prefix=direcctory

Hey there. As you point out there is a limit on the max number of file records returned by S3. We don't have pagination in the file-manager control at present.

It should be possible to add pagination to the file-manager view by passing the marker offset to retrieve the next set of records when the ajax.get() call is made in amazon-s3.js.

Another pagination approach would be to use the prefix argument, that would mean uploading your files using some sort of naming convention (e.g. fruit-apple.jpg, fruit-banana.jpg, vege-potato.jpg). You may eventually run up against the same 1000-file limit for a given prefix though.

Another thing you could try is creating folders in your S3 store via the AWS admin interface. We dont currently have any UI controls in file-manager to create folders but file-manager will display them if they exist. So by creating your folders in AWS you can then use file-manager to upload to those folders, and users can then choose/browse files from those folders using file-manager. This solution doesn't require any code changes on your part.

Please feel free to send us a pull request if you do add this functionality and are able to share it with the project.

Hope that helps.

@deeknow how are you expecting the PR? I don't think the file manager source is on Github.

Aha, yeah thanks Dave, that might make things tricky :)

Still, might be possible to patch raptor.js (assuming the OP has a commercial copy of Raptor which includes the file-manager/S3 stuff)

PS - any thoughts Dave about the approaches mentioned above, or any others?
