Hi guys, my intention is to get selected a couple of files which are in my alias folder. For this, it’s important, that fileinput() only wil be possible for my alias folder.

I use fileinput() liike this:




<?= $form->field($model, 'avatar[]')->fileInput(['multiple' => true,])->label('Uploadfile(s)') ?>

respectively like this:





    $form->field($model, 'avatar[]')->widget(FileInput::classname(), [

        'options' => ['multiple' => true],

        'pluginOptions' => ['allowedFileExtensions' => ['jpg','bmp','png','docx','doc','xls','xlsx','csv','ppt','pptx', 'pdf','txt','avi','mpeg','mp3']],

    ]);

    ?>

using this code,every folder can be selected. Thats not,what I want…

Any ideas,how to define a special folder to get selected files?

fileInput() generate the HTML input code for uploading file from client computers… if you want your customers/visitors to be able to select a file from the server (your alias)… then don’t use the fileInput() at all… present them the list of files to choose from… the files are already on the server if I understood you right.
