    Hi,
    There is an setting to (sort)/display in alphabetical order the files (in filebase) after a mass upload ? (on the same day of course). The files uploaded appear in random order.
    Thanks.

    Hey G,

    There is an setting to (sort)/display in alphabetical order the files (in filebase) after a mass upload ? (on the same day of course). The files uploaded appear in random order.

    Easiest way to do is to set up an mutil event to do this for you say every hour or so, or at least daily ...

    In your main mystic bbs folder create a file called "maintenance.ini".

    Enter this into it:

    [General]
    FileSort = true
    logfile = maintenance.log
    logcache = true
    loglevel = 3
    logtype = 2
    maxlogfiles = 7
    maxlogsize = 10000

    [FileSort]

    ; Sort on which attribute
    ; (0=filename 1=size 2=date 3=downloads)

    attribute = 0

    ; Sort direction 0=Ascending (A to Z, 1 to 10)
    ; 1=Descending (Z to A, 10 to 1)

    direction = 0

    Save this file. Then from mysticbbs root directory call

    ./mutil maintenance.ini

    This will run the script and sort all of your files in all areas.

    To automate this, go to Mystic Config -> Editors -> Event Editor.

    Add a new event (/ followed by I), and set the following:
    - Active : Yes
    - Description : Hourly Maintenance
    - Event Type : Interval
    - Exec Hour : 1 <-- every hour
    - Exec Min : 0
    - Shell : mutil maintenance.ini <-- without ./
    - Prefix ./ : Yes
    And on the right side of the wizard make sure to set all days (Sun, Mon, Tue, etc.) to : YES.

    You may have to shutdown the mystic server and restart it again.

    Then under events tab you will see this guy waiting to run in 59 minutes time.

    Cheers!
