non browseable folders  (#11808)
Issue


Hi. Similar to a folder in linux where the files in a folder can be accessed directly, but not browsed to, I'm finding a great need for the same function in webgui.

I suggest adding a "browsable" property. If true - it behaves as it does now. if false, the files (subfolders remain viewable?) are only listed if admin is turned on.

Please note that the files are still "viewable" to everyone (or however the security settings are set) - but only if directly accessed via URL.

OH. and it's excluded from webgui's search engine

make sense?

I did accomplish this by creating a special template, but the folder's contents will still be indexed and searchable.

ah.. I moved the folder to "root" so it wasn't included in the search path of the searh asset.

You could also alter the permissions of the folder and then it wouldn't show up in search results for those users who don't have permission.

I could of, but in this situation, they have to be accessible to everybody, because basically these files are being linked to from another site. basically I'm doing what wg does with the upload's directory. (you can't browse the upload's directory)

So I'd get behind "Browsable" if it did not have the "remove from search" side effect.

"Searchable" could be a different item and could apply to all assets (in a different RFE).

Approved.
