Re: Upload automatic in DMS module

Hello,

It is possible to load multiple files in a zip file and upload the entire zip file. Please note that there cannot be subdirectories in the zip file.

Best Regards,

Brian

Hi all,

I'm using the DMS module version 1.95 and I've got a question about it.

Is it possible to automatically upload documents in this module ? My problem is I don't know how to do that and every day I need to upload thirty documents.

Someone can help me.

Thanks in advance.

My Xoops version is 2.5.5, PHP version is 5.3.3-7+squeeze17 and MySQL version is 5.1.63-0+squeeze1.

Re: Document Management Module

I just remembered my old account: "rifraff"

I'll be updating the dev.xoops.org site soon.

Re: Document Management Module

Is there really any need for web links to be handled by the DMS? That was a request by a previous employer and I never really saw a great need for it.

Hello,

The dev environment is finally created, Xoops is installed and dms is loaded.

Hello,

No, there is no way to export whole directories, at this time.

Is there a working feature of exporting whole directories of documents?
If so, how do you do it (haven't found it)?
If not, that would be a very useful feature for the next version.

Hello,

I have a hard disk ordered and will be configuring it for dual-boot in order to build a dev environment.

Re: Document Management Module

Hello,

It would be great if there was such an engine that would search all modules at the same time. It would probably be pretty hard to implement, though.

The DMS module takes users permissions into account when it displays the results of a full-text search.

I think this goes more to Mamba and xoops developers: Talking Xoops mods that allow uploading of attachments, specifically pdf and similar document types; their is a need to provide a similar search functionality by using swish-e (or whatever would be the best choice) as an option. I have worked on a site that has hundreds of pdf and word docs but getting good search results is hard since most documents are not named properly to match the content of the documents.

It would be nice if xoops can adopt a search engine that can index such attachment repositories, so that users get their documents/info they are looking for much efficiently. Surely respecting all the access permissions is key so users access only what they are allowed to. I am not sure if any other CMS has this capability but will do a research. The need for an indexing engine i believe feature for a site would be on the type of content that is being aggregated to it, come site may not have the need for it, but these days most site have pdf files or similar attachments.

my two cents here. Let me know what you all think or is there any suggestion for this kind of needs.

Re: Document Management Module

Hello,

The changes I have are as follows:

Version 1.94
Added: dms_inc_functions_test() has been added to test the inclusion of inc_dms_functions.php when developing.
Added: dms_send_emai() can now be used to send an attachment that is not located in the repository.
Added: A job can now be scheduled to delete all documents in a folder.
Added: Documents can now be removed from a lifecycle.
Added: By setting a folder configuration flag, the document comments can now be displayed on the main screen.
Added: URL's can now be e-mailed.
Change: Disabled mime type determination via the "file" command, on Linux systems.
Change: The MMS integration no longer displays the standard header functions. (i.e. Import Document, Create Folder, etc.)
Change: Fixed an issue where forcing a folder to display only worked on the second attempt to display the folder.
Change: Created an object select page (obj_select.php). This page is to be used anywhere a folder or file is selected.
Change: folder_content_report.php no longer reports deleted file.
Change: The job server no longer publishes deleted files.
Change: The folder_content_report.php has been modified so that deleted files are no longer displayed.
Removed: With the exception of the main screen, the menu bar has been removed from all screens.

Version 1.93
Added: Links can be created to documents and folders. Note: This feature is currently disabled.
Added: Folder copy system for administrators.
Change: Re-wrote most of the user interface code to ease maintainablilty.

Version 1.92
Added: Created a block that contains all of the document/folder/url creation buttons.
Added: Administrators can globally change user ownership on documents. For example, if a user leaves an organization, all documents
owned by that user can be transferred to another user. Additionally, if selected, all other permissions for that user can
be deleted.
Added: Document expiration system.
Added: Properties search, for a document name, can now be initiated from a query string. Use search_prop.php?search_name=<name>
Added: Full text search can now be initiated from a query string. Use search_ft.php?search_query=<string>
Added: Document view counter has been added. This is incremented only when a document is viewed.
Added: The maximum size, of an uploaded file, is now displayed in the error message if the document was too large to upload.
Added: A time stamp is now applied when adding links to other web pages.
Added: Groups can now be e-mailed documents.
Added: URL's can now be moved and copied.
Added: Auditing information can now be displayed for folders and sub-folders, in one report.
Change: User ID's are now resolved when displaying audit logs.
Change: The document/folder/url creation buttons are now displayed at the top of almost every page.
Change: Administrators can now move or copy any and all documents, regardless of their being in a lifecycle.
Change: Left justified the Lifecycle Name and Lifecycle Stage, in file_options.php under the Information section.
Change: Job server now sorts documents correctly by FILO, when publishing documents for external display.
Change: Alphabetical document sorting is now reset when a user changes folders.
Change: Misc. minor user interface changes.
Change: Removed _binfilter.sh requirement for full text search engine and modified the swish-e.conf file.
Change: Improved the viewing of documents that do not have extensions.
Change: Permissions propagation now works in PHP 5.
Change: The ADN system has been modified such that the mask character is ignored when searching for the mask to replace.



Unfortunately, I couldn't find any notes regarding the specific changes with version 1.95. I would say that adding the full text search summaries was probably the biggest change for version 1.95. But, I can't be sure if I changed anything else as it has probably been two to three years since I worked on it last.

Regards,

Brian

Re: Document Management Module

Hello,

The chk_comments_enable item needs to be added in the xoops_dms_config table as:

name = chk_comments_enable
data = 0

i.e.
insert into xoops_dms_config values ('chk_comments_enable','0');

The xoops_dms_config table was designed in this fashion to allow more options to be easily added. Looking through the update manager, it appears that I missed adding this update.

Also, the data from this table is cached. So, You can either close out of and re-open your browser or set the xoops_dms_config timestamp item to '0' so that it re-loads the cached configuration. (The configuration caching was done in order to cut down on mysql query data passed between the web server and the database server.)

Using the browser navigation buttons was not encouraged in the environment in which this module was deployed. So, unfortunately, there isn't any support for using the back button.

Regards,

Brian

As for working, I've used version 1.91 with similar methods
of install on production and development sites without issue.
As a module, it seems stable with room for improvement.
The next version of Xoops may be a different story.

But yes, I realize it's untested. I'm running on a development
site, largely dependent on a DMS. I'm hoping your next
version will be ready before I am.

That aside, it's a great module. I'm just sharing the experience.

Thank you.

I do have one question... when you click on and goto a
folder, folder_expand strips folder_id= from the address.
As a result the back button does not work. Would you
share the line of code that makes that happen ?

B.T.W. the new search full text results is much nicer :)

Re: Document Management Module

Hello,

You can add the chk_comments_enable row directly in mysql. That isn't a problem.

This module has never been tested past Xoops 2.0.x, so I really don't know how well it will work with newer versions.

I'll have to get a dev environment setup so that I can take a look at it. It will probably be some weeks, however.

Regards,

Brian
