Include a subfolder in folder placement rules

Question

What I'd like to do is set the administrative settings within Contribute CS5 (ps... we connect to CONTRIBUTE PUBLISHING SERVER as well...) such that files of a certain type are placed within a SUBFOLDER next to webpage...
so for example... if i'm editting the file /index.cfm and  I insert an image using contribute, the image would be placed in "components/images/".
Anytime i try to add a slash to the FILE PLACEMENT RULE dialogue box
I get the following error:
"you entered a folder name that contains invalid, accented, or double-byte characters. Contribute will remove these characters from the folder name"
and then the slash is removed. I know it is possible to add a slash here, because the previous administrator had our site set up this way.
when you EDIT ROLE SETTINGS, click on FILE PLACEMENT, then click IMAGES, then click EDIT. On the FILE PLACEMENT RULE box, click FOLDER NEXT TO EACH WEBPAGE and try to enter 'components/images' (without quotes). After entering this, you should receive the error message identified above: "you entered a folder name that contains invalid, accented, or double-byte characters. Contribute will remove these characters from the folder name"
here is proof that these settings used  to work:
any idea how i can accomplish this?

Answer 1

imagine you have the following site structure
/breakfast_foods/pancakes/
and
/breakfast_foods/muffins/
and
/breakfast_foods/eggs/
Imagine the goal is to have it such that when someone edits/creates a webpage in any one of the folders above, and adds an image to the webpage, that CONTRIBUTE will automatically create the necessary folders...so instead of just creating the folders:
/breakfast_foods/pancakes/images/
/breakfast_foods/muffins/images/
/breakfast_foods/eggs/images/
we want contribute to create the folders like this:
/breakfast_foods/pancakes/COMPONENTS/images/
/breakfast_foods/muffins/COMPONENTS/images/
/breakfast_foods/eggs/COMPONENTS/images/
so we go into contribute administration, Go to EDIT ROLE SETTINGS>>FILE PLACEMENT and then click IMAGES, then click EDIT, then select the "Folder next to each web page" option, and enter "components/images". you'll receive an error message and contribute will pull the '/' out of the file path.
The ultimate idea is that all uploaded files will be in subfolders within the COMPONENTS folder... so i would go and edit PDFs and have them go to 'componentes/documents'...
as i mentioned previously, this is how we had it set up... but in migrating to new infrastructure, i can't seem to tell contribute to put files in a FOLDER within a FOLDER next to the file being editted.
