The data is there, but it's not being displayed. If I comment out enough of the "if" statements, I can get a raw list of documents; it's just not printing the "massaged" data.

It's 2.4.3

Thanks!


Ok, I was able to download 2.4.3 today. I should be able to take a look at the problem on Wednesday. From your description, it appears that they changed the output of SWISH-E slightly and it broke compatibility.

Hello,

Ok, I was finally able to install 2.4.3 and test it. (I was sick last week and wasn't in the office...sorry.) The full text search is working fine for me.

Sorry Brian, must have missed it!

Cming back to the start of the thread, how do I permanently get rid of "deleted" files?

Thanks,

It really depends on how you would like to get rid of the "deleted" files. The configuration of the file deletion system is in the readme.txt file, as well, so I won't go over it here. Basically, files can either be permanently deleted (I will call this "purged" to prevent confusion.) immediately or after a set delay. If the system is configured to delete the files immediately, the file purge will be done immediately. On the other hand, if there is a delay set then after that delay period has passed a limited number of files will be purged any time a user displays a page that is not the main DMS page. So, the more activity there is in the DMS, the faster files will get purged. Only a limited number of files are purged at a time to prevent any page from taking a long time to display.

When upgrading from an older version to version 0.98, if you have existing "deleted" files, there will be a delay until they are purged. For example, if you just upgraded and have 100 files that are "deleted" you will first have to configure the file deletion system. Once that is done, only two files will be purged everytime a non-main DMS page is displayed. It will take a little while for all of the files to be purged; but, it will happen.

I hope this helps.

Brian Reifsnyder

Brian,

I there some kind of document describing how to setup DMS?

I get the same error as other users and I admit that I really don't know what to fill in the configuration screens.

Hello,

There is a readme.txt file located in the dms module directory that explains installation, configuration, and some troubleshooting.

My issue is very similar to the one noted above.

Error: Unable to move file.

DP:/var/www/documents/1/1/1/2500001.dat

I noted that I didn't have an html_public/tmp directory, so created it. I've also been trying various paths for the respository directory. From various posts, it is not clear to me if /var/www/repository is correct, or just /var/respository. I assume the path indicated should be from public_html.

Thanks for any more thoughts on this.




Hello,

The most likely problem is the destination path (DP). Make sure that this path exists and that the web server has read/write access to it. What will most likely work is to find out the exact path of the repository directory in the DMS module (dms/repository) which may be something like /var/www/xoops/modules/dms/repository and use that.

Brian

Hello,

To install in in a Windows environment, just modify the repository path as required for Windows pathing conventions.

i.e.

D:\www\xoops\modules\dms\repository


DMS is developed in a Linux environment; but, due to the php engine, it also runs in a Windows environment. I personally have tested it on a box with IIS 5.0/PHP/MySQL installed and it ran flawlessly. I haven't tried it on Windows with Apache, however.

Hello,

If you are using it in a Windows environment, the only thing you need to do is to set the path for the repository directory with the drive letter in addition to the directory path.

i.e. D:\www\xoops\modules\dms\repository

Brian

Actually, no. I am getting a blank list of documents, even though the degugger says there are 36 hits. Since I don't understand the code that is (presumably) supposed to generate the list of documents, I can't figure out what I need to change to make it possible to see the results.

We haven't implemented lifecycles yet, and ATM it's a much lower priority than being able to find a given document easily with a full-text search.


Ok, try upgrading to version 0.98 and go to the DMS Configuration/Search Configuration screen and click on the "Write Configuration Files" button. (Don't forget to save your config files elseware...just in case.) Then, go to the repository directory and execute "swish-e -c swish-e.conf". See if that works. Also, what version of SWISH-E are you using? It is possible that they changed the format of the output enough to break compatibility. I tried, unsuccessfully, to download a new copy today. I'll try again on Monday.

Thanks much to both peekay and Brain. I have a company meeting in about 20 minutes at which I wil lbe able to demonstrate the level of support for this module specifically, and XOOPS in general, because of you guys!

I forgot to ask - how can I set permissions for the results? I don't see anything in the administration section for the module, nor in blocks.


Hello,

By results, I am assuming that you are refering to having the permissions automatically change depending which lifecycle stage the document is in? That feature has not been implemented yet. But, the database support is in place...I just need to write the code to utilize the database. Since nobody mentioned it yet, I haven't placed it high on my priority list. I do have that capability in my "Version 2.0 Roadmap," however. I may add it in an early version 1.x release.

Back in the main screen, a 'Promote' link will appear next to the document. Click this and the file will automatically be moved to the folder you designated for the next stage in it's lifecycle.

I think...?

Of course, if I got that wrong, or you already knew all this, I just wasted a lot of perfectly good pixels!



This is a great description of how to create a lifecycle.
