Collision between names of two or more groupfolders

Hello and thanks,

here is my process description of group folders.

I don’t want to have the users create their own folders. So I keep their contingent at 0 Bytes.
This works perfect. So they are only able to see the folders, which are shared over the group folders app. So no personal folders.

I create a user group, let’s say customername.projectname
I add a project user to the newly created group
I go to group folders settings in the admin panel.
I create a new folder like customername.projectname and add the newly created group.
Now the issue is, that I’m able to create the same foldername again an again again …
So this is really misleading. The System should tell me, that the folder with the same name already exists, not more. Like in Unix or Windows. This is a basic requirement, which does not meet in group folders.

Frankly I could not understand your technical solution exactly, could please explain it in detail.

Many thanks

Haydar

Start by reproducing the duplicate-name behavior through the Group folders settings in the admin panel, using the creation process described in the issue. Trace the PHP code handling folder creation and its validation; done means attempting an existing name produces a clear error and does not create another folder.
