Webdav: how to define a class should be seen as a folder ?

Xavier,

the current WebDAV implementation does this automatically. If there is an image attribute then this is used and the object is represented as such.

Don't think there is much that needs to be changed for this. Just a webdav.ini setting and disable the automatic checking for this. This would be a great issue to get solved during the hackfest.

Xavier, I agree. That would be a better implementation.

Do you have time to look at the sources and make a small patch, then we can get this into 3.6?

Ok, have a look at the new param in webdav.ini (diff output) :

+# List of classes that should be seen as a folder.
+# by default, if a class contains an image attribute it is seen as an image
+# if a container class doesn't contains an image attribute it is also seen as an image
+FolderClasses[]=folder
+FolderClasses[]=article
+#FolderClasses[]=your_custom_class

and modify kernel/classes/webdav/ezwebdavcontentserver.php
