Please disconnect delete and rename

[paulcanning]

So it seems that the only way to allow renaming of a file is to have it unlocked (locked = 0)

But doing so also lets the user delete the file.

I want to let users rename, but not delete.

Can you either add in a flag for delete protection, or disconnect rename and delete so I can do one but not the other?

I want to let users rename, but not delete.

What about write = 0?

elFinder complies with the file attributes of a typical file system.

[paulcanning]

I tried read, write and locked with all combinations of 0 and 1.

Files were only re-nameable when locked was set to 0

NB setting write to 0 makes no sense anyway, if the file is un-writable, you shouldn't be able to rename it!

[paulcanning]

Here is a screenshot showing a file that has the following attributes:

read = 1
write = 0
locked = 0

As you can see, the rename icon is clickable (not muted/greyed out)

Renamable operate on files of the write-protected is a specification of the common file system, such as Linux.

[paulcanning]

I am running this on a Linux server, connected to Google Cloud Storage.

I have provided evidence that write does not effect renaming, and that renaming and delete are both connected to locked.

They need to be separated.

The operation of elFinder by the file attribute is by design. If you need to change the specifications, please customize the elFinder.

[paulcanning]

If that is the case, can you provide information on how to enable/disable certain toolbar icons based on specific file attributes?

Example, if I give a file an extra attribute of rename = false then the rename icon only is disabled.

Example to disable rm of not writable items in selected volume elFinder >= 2.1.15

• Front end - JavaScript

// command `rm2` extends `rm`
(elFinder.prototype.commands.rm2 = function() {
    this.getstate = function(sel) {
        var fm = this.fm;
        sel = sel || fm.selected();
        return !this._disabled && sel.length &&
            // check `write` too
            $.map(sel, function(h) { var f = fm.file(h);
return f && f.phash && !f.locked && f.write ? h : null }).length ==
sel.length
            ? 0 : -1;
    };
}).prototype = {
    extendsCmd : 'rm', // extends command name
    forceLoad    : true // to force load
};

var options = {
    url  : 'php/connector.php',
}
$('#elfinder').elfinder(options);

• Back end - PHP connector

// customized volume driver
class elFinderMyVolumeLocalFileSystem extends
elFinderVolumeLocalFileSystem extends
{
    protected function remove($path, $force = false) {
        if (! $force && ($stat = $this->stat($path)) && !
$stat['write']) {
            return $this->setError(elFinder::ERROR_PERM_DENIED,
$this->path($stat['hash']));
        }
        return parent::remove($path, $force);
    }
}

$opts = array(
    'roots'  => array(
        array(
            'driver' => 'LocalFileSystem',
            'path'   => '/path/to/files/',
            'URL'    => 'http://localhost/to/files/',
        ),
        array(
            'driver' => 'MyLocalFileSystem',
            'path'   => '/path/to/files2/',
            'URL'    => 'http://localhost/to/files2/',
            'uiCmdMap' => 'array('rm' => 'rm2'), // use `rm2` instead `rm`
        ),
    )
);

// run elFinder
$connector = new elFinderConnector(new elFinder($opts));
$connector->run();
