how about tags, please (i already see it in code, probably missing some getters)? Anyway, this looks like super useful module... I'm just working on carousel / gallery on top of this module and tags are last missing function...

Regards

I've added a new static method that you can use to add whatever additional extensions you want. Add this line in your mysite/_config.php file:

DMSDocumentAddController::add_allowed_extensions(array('flac')); Fri, 23 Nov 2012 11:00:49 +1300 Julian Seidenberg http://www.silverstripe.org/document-management-system-module/#PageComment_14957 http://www.silverstripe.org/document-management-system-module/#PageComment_14933 Hi

all seems great.

Can you add the ".flac" files (Free Lossless Audio Codec) in the allowed extensions ?

Well, we've just finished implementing that!

Here is the commit: https://github.com/silverstripe-labs/silverstripe-dms/commit/1bd5d929efdfd10d8be23575cea057831a93d06a

Please tell us how you like the file versioning implementation. Thu, 22 Nov 2012 15:00:17 +1300 Julian Seidenberg http://www.silverstripe.org/document-management-system-module/#PageComment_14932 http://www.silverstripe.org/document-management-system-module/#PageComment_14931 Wow, thanks everyone for your suggestions and encouragement. I'm blown away by all the positive feedback.

Let me try and address some of your suggestions:

Uncle Cheese and Vicky: we hear you about the lack of a gallery view. A lot of us want to see a gallery view, both for the DMS and for the regular Assets area. We are trying to fit that in with all the other important things we are working on. So, it's definitely coming sometime, but, sadly, I can't say when.

Mick: signing documents in and out is a great idea, but not something for the core module, as it is a very specific use-case. I've written a brief description of how to do this in the following forum thread: http://www.silverstripe.org/general-questions/show/21138?start=8#post318303
If anyone wants to create this as a plug-in module to the DMS, please go ahead and we'll list it in the readme.

Nobrainer Web: sounds like it is time to upgrade your project to SS3 :). Yeah, I know that isn't really possible in all situations, unfortunately. But perhaps the DMS is something that can help you justify upgrading.

Matty: Composer.json is there now :)

g4b0: we already have some lightweight permission system built-in. Take a look at: https://github.com/silverstripe-labs/silverstripe-dms/blob/master/code/DMSDocument.php#L819
That ensures that if the the user doesn't have CanView permissions on a Page, they can't download the Documents added on that page.

Adam: good point about the DMS UI not necessarily being appropriate for all page types. Check out the new options in the _config.php file:
DMSSiteTreeExtension::show_documents_tab();
DMSSiteTreeExtension::no_documents_tab();
I think these do exactly what you need.

The biggest limitation I see is one imposed by GridField, as I understand it, and that is the lack of a gallery view. "16.jpg" is not very useful information at all. We really need images to be first-class citizens.

DOM also used a different paradigm in which it managed file-containing DataObjects, as opposed to a direct relation to the File class. This allowed the customization of any metadata without having to decorate the File object, e.g. adding fields like Category, Description, RelatedThing, etc. That allowed each page to have its own brand of related resources without globally mutating the core File class.

Congrats on the release. Anxious to see how this baby progresses in the thriving SS3 ecosystem.

And to not be able to view thumbnails of files that are images is a problem. Is this something you are working on? I'd love to know.
Thanks.

For me i need to make this manageable from the front end but the one thing i would like is the ability to sign out and sign in a document, for when changes are being made to a core document for instance.
Once again excellent work.

congrats and thanks for sharing! Thu, 22 Nov 2012 02:57:29 +1300 francisco http://www.silverstripe.org/document-management-system-module/#PageComment_14914
