Behavior: create_folder do not share a subfolder, if path_lower contain chars like ' . And happy NY!
Just 1 hour after 00 of the last day on 2016 ... Happy New Year to all! Finally 2017 is coming! My last 2016 problem :) ... maybe as always due to the fact i've not well read/understand somethin...
- 9 years agoApologies, this is still hard to follow without seeing the actual API call code, that is, seeing what API endpoints you're calling, and seeing the output you're getting, along with an explanation of the output you're expecting to get.
For example, are you only calling the /files/create_folder endpoint? That endpoint only creates folders. It doesn't share them automatically.
If you'd rather not post publicly, you can open a ticket here:

Please include:
- the name of the API app
- the full text of the output/behavior you are getting
- the output/behavior you expect to get
- the relevant code

Well what shame .... how i can say ... ah yes! this is my stupid mess ... i had a call, separated, to create_shared_link_with_settings that i've forget to check for proper sanitization ... thus the code was failing.
Some party more in this time maybe, between christmas and the new year ... you can understand i hope :)
By the way, the strange i will try understand, that maybe still result strange to me is: if the folder was on root, by the way it was created and shared, also if not escaped.
While the sequential subfolder not.
So i'll return over this, and let know in case, as well providing all the code, as the plugin will be released if i still have not detect how this was happening and reporting the reason.
In the while, Thank you Greg. Wish you a Nice 2017!
