@Bakual Seems you are using Windows. Could you please help checking this one?

@joomdonation there are 3 other PRs open for this already, so this is the 4th PR made

See here:
https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/pulls?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Apr%20is%3Aopen%20FolderList%20

I had tested all of them, and i believe i posted successful test in the most complete of them (that works in all cases):
#11288

This PR should have the same problem as described here:
#12841 (comment)

Thanks for the information @ggppdk, I don't know why these PRs were not merged

However, exactly what's wrong with this simple fix? I tested and it worked well. If the folder contain sub-folders, the result might be sampledata/fruitshop , sampledata/parks... which still work OK on Windows.

Without retesting, if i remember correctly

if you add a folder path that uses unix separator / instead of windows seperator \ then this PR will not work

That is your PR will work in a WINDOWS environment with destination:
directory="myfolderL1\myfolderL2\myfolderL3"

but will not work if fo
directory="myfolderL1/myfolderL2/myfolderL3"

And it is not too uncommon can a site is moved from windows environment to unix,
and it should be possible to do without needing to reconfigure (relative) folderlists

I think you could make a rewrite of PR #11288

There are three versions of this that I know of #11288 , #12841 and #11524

This looks like a duplicate of the latter two?

directory="myfolderL1\myfolderL2\myfolderL3"

but will not work if fo
directory="myfolderL1/myfolderL2/myfolderL3"

Actually, it does work. Here is the screenshot of sample folderlist form field with directory="components/com_content" recursive="true"

@wilsonge This is duplicate of #11524. However, that PR was from long time ago, so I am afraid of people won't test it soon. So we will leave this PR opens so that it get tested. Then you can merge this one or #11524 . We just need the issue fixed.

I've closed the other PR's in favour of this one and merged in the test instructions from #14075 :)

Thanks @wilsonge. Hope we will get enough testers for this PR, seems it is hard to get Windows testers.

I have tested this item ✅ successfully on c334f9c

without patch path is a mess, with patch directory listing is cleaned up nicely.

@N6REJ repeatable form fields are broken (and deprecated), you should use the Subform form field type as of J3.6 for repeatable field functions.

@photodude that doesn't make any sense.. subform is for stacking of fields & repeatable is not marked as deprecated in https://docs.joomla.org/Standard_form_field_types

@N6REJ it is deprecated look at the api or the code. the docs are a user maintained guide that is often a little behind https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/blob/staging/libraries/joomla/form/fields/repeatable.php#L18

Also it is deprecated in the docs - look at the repeatable form field page (and no it's not a change made just now but in July 2016) https://docs.joomla.org/index.php?title=Repeatable_form_field_type&diff=318910&oldid=317302 . Having said that even though deprecated this is a completely separate issue so please open a new issue for this and leave this one for the windows folder system issue :)

Thanks all for your help :)

This modification was still not present in 3.7.0-beta3? Could it be merged?? Thaks!

This was merged after beta 3 was tagged so it wouldn't be included there. It'll be in the next tagged release.
