I am looking to make a file server and want to use drupal to manage all the files. The basics i think I have down. I have a file content type for users to upload individual files. And I have books setup for people to add their own written files as well. Such as keeping their own documents online. So here are a couple things I want to do and im not sure how to tackle it:
1: When a user creates a book page with normal text, is there a way to add a download link to the book page? Im thinking i would use a pdf module to convert the page to pdf's to download.
2: Ability to select a whole book or portion therof and create a pdf out of it and let the user download it.
3: When manageing books, i want a user to be able to manage their own book. presumably each user would get a taxonomy or node and all their books would be children of the taxonomy and or have a reference to their node respectively. I can partially accomplish this by using rules module to create a special nodetype/taxonomy on account creation. all their posts would automaticlly be linked to it by uid.
4: also with #3 the user should be able to set permissions to a role on who can or cannot post articles in their books based on content type, or even just let another user edit a page but not add.
files themselves i think i have down fine. but how can i properly manage the book content type above?
