Hello Saltcorn Community,

I've been considering building an app using Saltcorn, and as part of this project, I anticipate that users will be uploading multiple files, including avatar images and a series of photos.

However, I've noticed that Saltcorn's default file saving behaviour doesn't quite meet my needs. It appears that all uploaded files are stored in a single, unstructured folder, with identical file names simply being appended with _1, _2, _3, etc.

Ideally, I would prefer to have a more organized structure - perhaps a unique folder for each user's files. Additionally, the ability to rename files upon upload (for example, a user's avatar image could be automatically renamed to "Avatar.jpg") would be extremely helpful. This could also potentially save a database entry, as I could set "Avatar.jpg" as the default avatar for all users.

With the existing file saving structure, I fear that even a moderate number of users could result in an unmanageable amount of files in a single folder (e.g., 100 users could create over 1,100 files).

Has anyone found a way to customize the file save location and naming in Saltcorn, or does anyone know if these features are being considered for future updates? Any advice, workarounds, or pointers towards relevant resources would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you for your time and looking forward to your responses.

I forgot to check the "Allow users to request a password reset email" checkbox on my site.  For some reason, my password no longer works and I can't reset it with my email.  Can someone allow assist me in recovering my site?

Does anyone know how to configure a Search component to a table or, preferably, a view?  The only configuration I can see is "Has dropdrop" and "Show current state badges".  I added a Search component on a page containing a Feed view (configured with a table).  When I run the page and type something in this component, it brings me immediately back to my account page and shows a "Search not configured" message at the top of the page.

Hi everyone,

I have the problem when creating a new ListShowList view, I can't find the needed view on the second page of the config dialog Subtables (step 2 / 2) because I have a bunch of them ;-)

It would be nice to have an option to reach/select the wanted views.

Or is it just me, because of poor design?

I have started receiving errors inside of my simple list views and I’m not sure what is causing it.

When I attempt to “update” or “add”, a little red triangle appears and says “Save error: Field initialised with no name and no label”
 

The crash log also identifies the same error message, crash log can be found here:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/10Je7kxBStt32vIXLm62POWlPkY13mzoL/view?usp=share_link

Normally this is not an issue, I simply have to keep clicking next and finalize the saves for my View.  However, at some point when I try to hit “Next” I get a  "413 Request Entity Too Large", at which point editing my View becomes impossible.

The crash report points to:

(/home/saltcorn/.local/lib/node_modules/@saltcorn/cli/node_modules/@saltcorn/data/models/field.ts:98:13)

That .js file is the originator of the error, however I do not know where “label” or “name” are being sourced to determine how to fix this.

Any help would be appreciated.

Saltcorn is amazing.  It really needs to start growing a community that can work together to help enhance and promote it.  At the moment, the only options are to try to discuss things via Github issues or here in the forum.  Github isn't the proper place and the forum...  well, the forum needs work.  You can't search.  Every entry says "No row selected" which gives a terrible impression of the software.  It's just not a good solution.

We need a Slack or Discord server!  Somewhere we can discuss issues and get/give assistance.  I'd set one up myself but I think it would be best if Tom or someone else officially related to the Saltcorn project did so.

Or, I'd be happy to do it if Tom doesn't have the bandwidth.  :-)

I am exploring this for building apps for use in a business setting on corporate lan or access by VPN.  Is it possible to setup reports and what would be best way to incorporate something into Saltcorn.    Looking to create an expense report tracking app, but accounting requires a printed report ( i.e. .a PDF to file away each month).   I see other potential uses, in a field app via https over public web for collecting data, but the data would then be pulled into a larger app (not saltcorn based).   Happy that this uses Postgres and not MYSQL

cheers!

I have followed the instructions on https://wiki.saltcorn.com/view/ShowPage?title=Some%20useful%20plugins.

However, I struggle to implement the last step: 

Then embed this view in a view of the posts, and you will see a little badge for each topic to which the post belongs.

Could somebody maybe elaborate on how I exactly I need to do this? Thanks a lot in advance!

The Error

net::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID at https://my.server.local/files/serve/2afbfeda-35f6-49ec-9f4f-c806829cac17.html

i think its from the cromium-browser on the server, saltcorn use it internal.

http:// works for the Plugin

no plan for add the Cert in the this internal Cromium.

Hello, how actually insert_joined_row action works?

Hi there. 

I trying a proof of concept for a DB which would havr some similar features to a music app, or shopping app (it isn't either, but these make a good metaphor) I am attempting to build out a "shopping cart" or "playlist" where users can filter an exisiting table, and then "pick" items from the table to be added into a personalized playlist or shopping cart type table (the user would see a show view of that table when they view it). 

So for instance, we might have a joined table with song info (title, artist, year, label, album, genre etc.) and a page with a filter and list view of that joined table (I can do this part). But then I'd like a button to "add" songs to a new "playlist" which populates as the "songs" are picked by a user. The user could then view their "playlist" (or shopping cart) on seperate page (or in an accompanying view) and interact with it (add or delete, make notes, export as pdf etc.). It would be great if they could have multiple different "playlists" viewable only to them, (or possibly shareable with other users).

Would this be possible? Is there a tutorial or explanation on how to do this?

Thanks for your help!

Hi Everyone!

Absolutely loving Saltcorn!  I have been playing with it for a few weeks and I am very impressed.

I have enabled periodic snaphots, however, snapshots do not get created unless I manually hit the button to create them.  Is this the expected behavior?
I am running 0.8.3-beta.1, but I don't think they worked in the previous version either.  Anyone else notice this?  Am I missing an OS package that I might need I wonder?

Thanks!

I created a table which shows certain data in a view, placed it on a "page" to add an add button and clicking it shows me another view created to add the data I want to add another row to the table, but setting the view to add a link to another view to edit the data of a row that shows me the same view of adding a row does'nt show me anything.

But if I uninstall the "flatpickr-date" module or stop using it in the date data I have to modify it already shows me the view from the link to another view.

From the Saltcorn.com page I log in as administrator, but it doesn't allow me to make any changes to both my own user and the project itself. I tried installing it directly to the system and trying to access from the localhost does't allow me to even log in as administrator.
