Files

With the module 'files' the group is able to share files that are relevant and important for the whole group, e.g., documents to which the whole group contributes or interesting articles to spread for each member and also a repository of software code. You can share files by uploading them to the server or setting a link whitch leads to the file - such as on your local computer. Set directories/folders to arrange your files. Please note: These are virtual folders only. View: The main table shows all actual files. Beside the name of the file other details like comments made by the user about certain properties, category, the upload date and the file size are shown. By clicking the file name you can download the file. Sort the table by clicking on a column header. You can delete your own files by clicking on the red button. Click the blue button to edit the additional information of your file or to organize the virtual folder system. A green button indicates that you alone have read access to this file. The virtual folders may be multilevel branched. With the symbols and you can open and close a branch. If you're looking for a special file, use the form "Filter" above the table. Use the buttons "open" and "close" to expand and collapse the entire folder tree. Right beside of that form you'll find the button "New". A click opens another form. Make your choice to add a file, a link or a virtual directory. Using the form to upload files, specify the path and filename, insert a category and a remark/comment to the same. A quicker way is to use the file select box after browsing your hard disk for the appropriate file. Creating a link is a little bit different. In the field "Name" type the name of the link to display in the list. In the field "name and network path" type the address, other computers in the network have to use connecting the file via browser. Example for MS-Windows network: computername/sharename/foldername/filename.ext Computername can also be an IP-adress. For Windows network shares, folders are required. Make sure that the share grants read access to all concerned people. Foldernames are used, if the file is not located in the shared folder "sharename" but in a subfolder "foldername" below. Since regular compuers sharing data on a LAN are not http servers, PHProjekt will add the prefix "file:/" to your entry. By using a protocol prefix (like http://...) yourself you can override this feature. If you select the checkbox 'overwrite' you can overwrite files with the same name. Otherwise you get a warning. With the access-radiobuttons you can restrict the access to the file: only you, the whole group or some members may have privileges for the same. Finally click on the upload button to send your list entry and the file to the server. Attention: The files with extensions like .html, .txt, .gif or .jpg will be displayed directly instead of allowing you to download them. In this case you can right mouse click and choose "save as" or "save target as". You can use the keyword search in the main screen, too. The tables name, category and remark will be crawled for the keyword, and the relevant files will be displayed.
