Cannot upload under specific folder

[cod3rshotout]

Hello,

I'm trying to upload the images under "public/uploads" folder, so I've created the following field:

CRUD::field('gallery')
    ->label(__('backend/installations.gallery'))
    ->type('repeatable')
    ->subfields([
        [
            'name' => 'main_image',
            'label' => __('backend/installations.image'),
            'type' => 'image',
            'withMedia' => [
                'collection' => 'installation_images',
                'disk' => 'uploads',
            ]
        ],
    ]);

then, within the model I have configured these two methods:

public function registerMediaCollections(): void
{
    $this
        ->addMediaCollection('installation_images')
        ->useDisk('uploads');
}

public function registerMediaConversions(?Media $media = null): void
{
    $this->addMediaConversion('thumb')
        ->width(368)
        ->height(232)
        ->sharpen(10);
}

I'm using Spatie Media Library, so the model class implement HasMedia.
The filesystems.php contains the following code:

'uploads' => [
    'driver' => 'local',
    'root' => public_path('uploads'),
    'url' => env('APP_URL') . '/uploads',
    'visibility' => 'public',
],

the problem's that all the images are uploaded under the storage path, like: "/storage/17/pjZTcwJrnxdk1uGobMLtOM8cXL78gNDaZ8QY4YAw.jpeg"

How is that possible?

Based on the information provided in your question and the knowledge sources available, it appears that you're using Backpack CRUD with Spatie Media Library to handle file uploads. However, the specific issue you're encountering is not directly addressed in the provided knowledge sources.

That being said, I can offer some insights based on the available information:

1. The configuration you've shown for the 'uploads' disk in filesystems.php looks correct for storing files in the public/uploads directory Github Issue #956.

2. The use of withMedia in your field definition is not standard Backpack syntax. Backpack typically uses withFiles for file uploads Github Issue #5355.

3. The fact that your files are being stored in the /storage directory suggests that the default 'public' disk is being used instead of your custom 'uploads' disk.

To troubleshoot this issue, you could try the following:

1. Instead of using withMedia, try using withFiles:

CRUD::field('gallery')
    ->label(__('backend/installations.gallery'))
    ->type('repeatable')
    ->subfields([
        [
            'name' => 'main_image',
            'label' => __('backend/installations.image'),
            'type' => 'image',
            'withFiles' => [
                'disk' => 'uploads',
                'path' => 'installation_images',
            ]
        ],
    ]);

2. Make sure that your model is correctly using the HasMedia trait and that the MediaLibrary is properly configured to use your 'uploads' disk.

3. Double-check that your 'uploads' disk is correctly defined in config/filesystems.php and that it's being recognized by your application.

If these suggestions don't resolve the issue, it's possible that there's an interaction between Backpack and Spatie Media Library that's not covered in the available knowledge sources. In that case, you might need to consult the specific documentation for integrating Spatie Media Library with Backpack, or reach out to the Backpack community for more targeted assistance.

Documentation need to be updated ... it's withFiles not withMedia

Hey @cod3rshotout

Apologies, the @backpack-ai-bot answer was wrong but the documentation is correct.
While using withMedia(), The folder structure is handled by Spatie's media library.

If you need a custom folder, you can create a separate filesystem disk for it and use it.

Or

You can follow the Spatie's guide to set up a custom directory structure
. If I had to choose, I would go with the first option.
