Zip upload with saving folder structure

[regesh]

Is it possible to upload zip file, unarchive it with save it structure?

Thanks!

i wonder why there is still no answer... this is definitely possible.

i'm not a pro, but i would approach it like this:

use a file field to upload and store the zip-file.

create an autoload module with a hook into save or saveready (don't know what's better in this case) that unzips your file and saves the content where you define it

you could then delete the original zip-file.

problems i can think of that may happen (just guessing)

php zip support of your host

there could be problems with very large zip-files

you should take a look at somas grabpw script: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/somatonic/PWOnlineInstaller/master/grabpw.php

It's certainly possible, but there's no fieldtype to support that. The standard file field might be sufficient to upload the zip file, but as soon as the zip is extracted with folder structure it won't display anything. If one doesn't need those files to be visible/manageable in the backend than all the tools php provides are available.
