Development: ListfilesAction.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)
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 action can be called in different ways:{{listfiles}} displays all the files attached to the current page
{{listfiles page="AnotherPage"}} displays all the files attached to another page (provided that the user is allowed to read it)
{{listfiles file="MyFile"}} displays a link to the file named MyFile attached to the current page (provided the file exists)
{{listfiles file="MyFile" title="My title"}} same as above with "My title" being the text displayed to the link
{{listfiles page="AnotherPage" file="MyFile"}} display a link to the file named MyFile attached to AnotherPage
{{listfiles page="AnotherPage" file="MyFile" title="My title"}} same as above with "My title" being the text displayed to the link
To Do
Nothing I can think about right now.CategoryDocumentation
