@scolcipitato I'm very sad too see it go, so hopefully you do not mind. I did forked it and fixed it for v.7 of Unraid. 

I'm not much of Unriad plugin developer ( at all lol ), but I love this plugin and was bit sad when I updated to v7 Unraid today it was not working. Since I'm not alone I decided to push out my wife and kids for a walk this Saturday for some piece and quiet and fixed it

I did not have time yet to look how to get it to Appstore, will check it later... but you can do the manual install if you like. Its seems to work ok again, at least I can edit the folders and add new containers to them.... If you have the old version, do an export of JSON of your current setting so you do not have to manually getting it back, and then uninstall, install this version and import the settings back... worked for me

 

 

I am deeply saddened to see @scolcipitato leaving us.... this is by far the BEST plugin, and it should be built-in into stock unRAID.

 

@VladoPortos please, how do I get to your fix for this?????

 

My Docker page still works... but I cannot edit the Docker Folders. I am scared I am a breath away from the plugin to fail completely. I will roll back to 6.x version of unRAID when that happens.

 

Holding my breath for this.... 🤢

@VladoPortos Thanks for updating it. I just reinstalled it and I can again edit my folders.

One question though - and this was not introduced by your changes - I am have a real hard time saving the autostart setting - both for groups and containers. Upon refreshing they seem to reset randomly all over the place. Anyone else seeing this type of behavior?

I'll check tomorrow if I can, I did not look at the autostart at all

 The setup page

 

Before you do anything, go to plugins tab and click on the old 'FolderView' plugin, click on the folder icon you should get page like this:

 

Click on export all, this will give you a json file that holds the settings, of what is in what folder... so even if you uninstall you should be able to go back and hit Import give it the file and it should look like before...

After you have your backup, you need to uninstall the old folder view plugin.

Next go to https://github.com/VladoPortos/folder.view and from there you basically need just two files:

folder.view.plg
and
archive -> folder.view-2025.02.22.txz

Then you need to get this files to plugin folder, I just scp them to unriad via ssh ( I know this is shitty way to do it, I will figure out how to make it simpler just did not have time yet ) 

 

Copy the folder.view.plg file to /boot/config/plugins/ folder.

Copy the latest 'folder.view-.txz' from archive folder to /boot/config/plugins/folder.view/ folder (you might need to create it there)

In Unraid webui go to Plugins -> Install Plugin tab, click on the folder config -> plugins -> folder.view.plg and press install button.

THANK YOU!!!!! It worked. 

 

An addition(s) to your instructions on the backup procedure. I have created custom .css files that further customize the UI. Prior to doing any of the steps above, users should copy the folder:

 

    /boot/config/plugins/folder.view/styles

 

There is also a /scripts folder. I don't have any scripts (nor do I know exactly how to use), but people should copy this as well.

 

In broad terms, what were the changes you made? 

 

The history of this plugin... @GuildDarts came up with the original version. I helped him refine the UI into something similar to the current version. That original developer then decided to no longer develop it. There was at some point a significant unRAID upgrade that broke the plugin. One of the unRAID All-Stars (wish I could remember who) did a tweak that un-broke it. He clearly stated it was a fix, but was not planning to keep developing. At some point @scolcipitato created a new version... I helped him as well to refine the UI and allow more customization for it. See my screencap above and compare to the stock UI.

 

I hope someone picks up the development. @VladoPortos I am volunteering you for the job... 😁

 

Thank you again...!

@hernandito the console was complaining about this:

folder.js?v=1736612639:1 Uncaught SyntaxError: Identifier 'id' has already been declared (at folder.js?v=1736612639:1:1)

The original code had two variables named id:

• A global constant: const id = new URLSearchParams(location.search).get('id');
• A loop variable: for (const [id, value] of Object.entries(folders))

 

The fix renames the loop variable to folderId to avoid the conflict while maintaining the same functionality:

• The global id is still used to identify which folder is being edited
• The loop variable folderId is now used to iterate through other folder

Then at some point Plex started complain:

Feb 22 10:20:42 PlexServer webgui: Invalid .page format: plugins/folder.view/folder.view.Docker.page

Feb 22 10:20:42 PlexServer webgui: Invalid .page format: plugins/folder.view/folder.view.VMs.page

Feb 22 10:20:42 PlexServer webgui: Invalid .page format: plugins/folder.view/FolderView.page

That seems be because missing metadata at start of the page... 

I think the main issue was the ID constant

@VladoPortos

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally got it working again!

 

I tried this method but I get this error when trying to install it, I put the two required files in their respective folders, any ideas?

@VladoPortos Thanks - Mine's working fine again.

I had a similar issue and it was because I'd saved the file from github using right-click save-as which looked like it had the right file extension, but actually had html as the contents. I needed to use github's "download raw file" button to get the proper contents and then it worked like a charm.

Yes and when I see the change log of Unraid Connect's last update, there are some changes that relate to CSS/Web Interface...

good catch.

I've also unistalled it, and same, after Folder.view works again...

... and reinstalling Unraid Connect, breaks it again.

 

Since Folder.view won't be updated anymore, I hope Unraid connect will be fixed.

 

Yeah that's exactly what I saw too, And I got so far as seeing that it was related to the ID variable in the Folder.View plugin but didn't get a chance to look into it other than forking it, seems like VladoPortos managed to fix it anyway in his fork.

Just want to say thanks. I have a bunch of folders and suddenly it broken yesterday. You saved my Raid.

Thank you for your hard work,  and thanks to everyone else for documenting this so i can stop chasing my tail!!!

@VladoPortos Hi, with your plugin i have 2 new link in the "Settings" page, Folder View and Folder. Folder doesn't works, it shouldn't be there anyway.

 

There is a difference with the original file in the Folder.view file:

Old Original: https://github.com/scolcipitato/folder.view/blob/main/src/folder.view/usr/local/emhttp/plugins/folder.view/Folder.page
New version: https://github.com/VladoPortos/folder.view/blob/main/src/folder.view/usr/local/emhttp/plugins/folder.view/Folder.page

I removed the line:

Menu="Utilities"
Icon="folder-open-o"
Type="xmenu"
Tabs="true"

from the new version leaving only the ones present in the original ( "Title" and "Markdown") and the "Folder" plugin in settings disappeared leaving only the correct "Folder view". Other things seem to work after this.

Ah yes, I thought it was some other plugin lol
 
Menu="Utilities" had to be removed, the rest could stay... if I put the original meta tags:

```
Title="Folder"
Markdown="false"
```

 

Then when editing folder it would not show up anything on the page... 

I have pushed new version to git that fixed it ( I hope, I have just my server to test it on )

@VladoPortos A big thank you to you. It works as before. ❤️

 

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this so far and thank you @VladoPortos for fixing it and making this work again for all of us who use this plugin. I followed your manual install steps above and is working for me again. Appreciate it!

Did you get a chance to look into this?

@VladoPortos Is the new version not uploaded yet to CA apps? 

@VladoPortos Thank you so much for the fix 👏

Hey folks, not urgent, thought it was worth putting it in as a feature request, but now that Unraid doesn't show upgrade status for 3rd party containers in 7.0.1 (like those created with docker compose) any chance the new version you are working on could also check that somehow? Would be nice to not see "update ready" when everything is up to date

@VladoPortos Much appreciated. Question, would it be possible for you to update the archive file for version 2024.10.02 for those of us not using Unraid Version 7?

I attempted to create my own archive file, but when installing the plugin, it downloads the archive txz from github and overwrites the custom txz archive file.

Not sure what the best way to go about this is. To fix on pre Unraid version 7, you must upload a fixed folder.js file, and copy it to the correct directory manually.

In my experience, folders still work without the fix, but creating new folders is broken. Ive attached a fixed folder.js file for pre Unraid Version 7. It must be placed into the directory "/usr/local/emhttp/plugins/folder.view/scripts" after installation for anyone attempting to fix in the mean time.

Nope.

 

I've lost my folders trying to resolve this. 🤣

 

Hopefully the new release will get pushed to CA Apps very soon.

Sorry did not get around to do it yet, my schedule is bit insane this week and I'm happy if I get sleep at all I have it marked for next week.

You cant just replace, because the plugin definition file have md5 of the files, however I tested your changes with the limited time I had and it did not break anything it seems in v7 at least my instance still works  It might be now backwards compatible ? Try to install the version folder.view-2025.02.26.txz with the folder.view.plg in repo ( i just pushed it ) if that works on pre v7 unraid. 

 

@VladoPortos

Kudos to you, man, for taking this on. Just making sure you actually WANT to. 

 

FolderView is on very shaky ground right now. Though I completely understand the reasons behind it, development being dropped right as it breaks with a new version of unRAID coming out is the worst scenario. The brave person that takes it over is starting with quite a chore list.

 

A heartfelt thanks to anyone and everyone who is chiming in and offering solutions to issues. Hopefully FolderView still has a bright future ahead! I can't imagine Docker on unRAID without it!!! (And don't really want to imagine it!)
