As the title says, I need to configure a "Link / file reference" data type field to be rooted into a specific static folder instead of the usual ADAM folder. The intent is to have a user upload files with the Dnn Resource Manager, and then have the file field root to that folder so those files are available to select, or if someone drags and drops the file then it is also uploaded to that specific folder.
I have gotten this to mostly work by going into the field settings, under "Buttons in the Dialog Ellipsis" setting the "Site Files Picker" to show which adds the "Paths" option under "Advanced Settings", and putting the path to the folder in the "Paths" field. This enables the exact functionality I need when using File Manager, but the problem is that the field still defaults to using the standard ADAM system (including using the ADAM folder instead of the one I need).
In order to get those path settings to work I have to click on the field to get it full height of the panel so I can access the "More..." button, and switch it to "File Manager". Once that is done it is correctly rooted in the folder I need allowing the user to select files from it, or upload new files to that folder. I need this to be the default behavior though. Is there a way to set ADAM to use that folder, or at least set the "Link / file reference" field to use File Manager instead of ADAM?
