Hey,
a while ago, Georg implemented OC_User::getHome($uid) which gives back the
user home folder. It returns an absolute path. I implemented the function for
the LDAP backend as well and, analog to the original method, also return an
absolute value.
Now I found out that not everywhere OC_User::getHome($uid) is used when the
home folder is established. Recently I adjusted files_version. Today I came
across OC_Cache_File, thus i wanted to adjust this. However, I came across a
problem.
The User File Cache stores everything in the sub folder 'cache' in ther user
directory. Now when
$dh=$storage->opendir('/');
is executed – with $storage being an instance of
Filesystemview('/path/to/user/home/cache') – ownCloud tries to read from
/pattodatadir/path/to/user/home/cache which of course won't work since the
path to the home dir is already an absolute one.
This path is created in Filesystem::getInternalPath(), because the mountpoint
is determined as (/).
For now I have no idea how to improve it; or if it is even possible.
Furthermore it's a central part and i don't want to break it :)
So, ideas?
Cheers
Arthur
