This release adds HOME directories for site users

* A new icon has been provided to take the users straight there.
In order to have the HOME directory, users need to have the permission 'home dbfm' before they get a home directory.

The new HOME directories are 'locked' - that is to say normal users cannot move or rename the directories.

* There is a new permission 'lock dbfm' which users will need if they want the ability to lock and unlock directories (which you can do through the properies screen.

This release adds 'subscriptions'. Users are able to subscribe to documents they own, or have permission to write to. When subscribed documents are modified or deleted the subscribed user will recieve an email notification.

New Features:

  • There are two additional 'My Account' screens:
    • My Account / My documents - Gives a list of all the files originated by a user. For any entry in the list there is a button allowing the user to subscribe or unsubscribe
    • My Account / My Subscriptions - Gives a list of all the files subscribed to by a user. Against each entry there is a button allowing the user to unsubscribe.
  • There is a new item on the context menu allowing you to subscribe to, or unsubscribe from, a file or revision.
    • Note that if you are subscribed to a document then make changes yourself you are not notified.
    • The notification messages are fully configurable. The new subscriptions admin screen allows the subject line and contents to be fully customised.
  • The admin screens have been re-organised. There are now seperate admin screens for main settings, roles, subscriptions and replication.

The release also fixes outstanding bugs from the previous release including:

  • Problems with search - large files, especially pdf's, often failed to convert to text properly and this led to files being left in the temporary directory.
  • Problems with drag and drop not working
  • File size incorrectly reported for revisions
  • Not correctly barring incorrect node types from having attachments
  • Positioning for tooltips and context menus was wrong, particularly on Safari.
  • Fixed a problem on upload with invalid file names (containing ' or ").
  • Problem adding attachments from a slave - replication delays made this unreliable. A configurable delay has now been added.

  • The maximum filename length is now configurable from the admin screen:
    • The default maximum filename length is 45 characters
    • Note that while you can increase the maximum filename length EXTREME caution should be used in reducing the maximum. Make sure there are no files already on the system that exceed that length.

The DBFM module is an off-shoot of WebFM, designed to store files in a database as opposed to the filesystem.

This release contains many bug fixes over the previous version, including GUI enhancements and IE support.

DBFM is, in much the same way as WebFM, the file manager is based on a hierarchical directory structure unlike the traditional flat file-system used to date. DBFM uses AJAX to allow administrators to arrange files in the database in the same way they do with file managers on their personal systems.
