Custom folder for attachments. How?
Added by Anonymous over 16 years ago
I'd like to store the attachments in another folder than the standard folder (REDMINE/files).
There is a class variable 'storage_path' in the Attachment class and I suppose that I could set it in the 'environment.rb' file. But it somehow doesn't work ;-(
Please help. Thank you,
Hans-Peter
PS: Somewhat related: would it be possible to use a database.yml config file which is located somewhere else than the default place (REDMINE/config)? Thanks!

I also don't know if it is possible to set the storage_path
via environment.rb
but on Unix you can of course use a symbolic link to another directory. That applies to database.yml
as well.

Symbolic links are perfect. Thanks for this idea!

But not the ideal answer to this problem - see #2231

And as I later found out symbolic links are also not ideal when updating Redmine through svn: one has to temporarly rename the link name. But at least it is possible.

As it looks like this is still a problem in version 1.0.2 I used the following trick in order to define a custom folder for attachments without any symbolic link :
1) in config/environments/production.rb
I added te following line :STORAGE_ROOT = "/my/storageroot/"
2) and in app/models/attachment.rb
I replaced
@@storage_path = "#{RAILS_ROOT}/files"
by
@@storage_path = "#{STORAGE_ROOT}/files"
No big deal, isn't it ?
I'll just have to remember that next time I upgrade... ;o)

I created a small plugin to not have to patch the files in app
(please see attachment).
After unpacking the plugin to vendor/plugins
you only have to add something like this to config/environments/production.rb
:
# Plugin redmine_attachment_storage REDMINE_ATTACHMENT_STORAGE_CONFIG = { :path => "/home/abc/files", }
redmine_attachment_storage.zip (11.6 KB) redmine_attachment_storage.zip | Redmine plugin: attachment_storage |
