=====Files Handler Documentation===== >>==See also:== Development: FilesHandler.>>This is the documentation page for the Files handler.::c:: ===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. 1) 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) 1) If you are allowed to read a page then you can read/download the attached files 1) If you are allowed to write a page then you can manage the attachments (add/delete) Of course all this has to be compliant with the site policy (authorized mimes and maximum sizes). ===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 ===How to use it?=== This particular handler can be called as any handler by adding its name to the URL: ""http://mysite/wikka/MyPage/files"", or by using a menulet link which is the easier solution for the users: ""{{attachements}}"" has to be part of the menu, header, footer or any kind of personnal menus. Once called, a form will appear that will allow: - to see all files attached to the current page, - to upload more files provided that the user is allowed to write on this page, - to delete any attachment provided that the user is allowed to write on this page. ===To Do=== A warning popup prior to delete a file would be welcome...
