Hi Detlev,
nice to have the chance to correct you on your last day
Normally, you are right, Repository Filter are used for other purposes, but this Userhome Repository Filter like i.e. "userhome" actually checks if an application trys to access the path /userhome/<user.id>/favorites (i.e.), and if this path does not exist it creates the required subfolders.
So, Jon, actually what you need to do is the following:
1. Create a folder where you want to have this subfolders created (i.e. /documents/UserDocs).
2. In Content Management Configuration go to Repository Filters -> Show Advanced Options -> Userhome Filter and create a new filter. The prefix indicates the repository where the content will be stored, Startpath the subfolder where the user folders will be created. URL indicates the name of the subfolder that needs to created bellow the user-id folder. For example use:
Active=YES
URLs (csv)=docs
Prefix=/documents
Startpath=/UserDocs
3. Create a KM Navigation iView and the following entry for "Path to Initially Displayed Folder"
/~alias~/documents/UserDocs/<user.id>/docs
4. Open the KM Navigation iView and observe how the subfolders are created.
