Files Management Solution
The principle
As many Wikka users, I find the upload process cumbersome. So I propose a new way relying on 3 developments and a few principles.- There will be a menulet action in the header and/or footer menus that will allow the user to:
- know if there are files attached to the current page (special display of the menulet link)
- browse the attached files by clicking on the menulet link
- manage the attachments (add/delete)
- If you are allowed to read a page then you can read/download the attached files
- If you are allowed to write a page then you can manage the attachments (add/delete)
It is indeed compliant with the ACLs, so it is with my solution of ACLsWithUserGroups.
My solution
Three developments to provide a complete solution:- A handler (FilesHandlerInfo - FilesHandler) allowing to call the file management tool from any page
- An action (ListfilesActionInfo - ListfilesAction) allowing to list and download the attached documents
- A menulet action (WikkaMenulets : attachments) to call the handler via a menu
To Do
As I cannot have the ModRewrite working on my site, it would be nice if someone could test all this with mod_rewrite.Add some screenshots
Please make sure that the server has write access to a folder named uploads.
: there are 3 screenshots I would like to provide but I am not allowed to do it :-(CategoryDocumentation
