Releases for Web File Manager

fixed http://drupal.org/node/246908

This release implements an excellent series of patches submitted by Frank Steiner to extend WebFM compatibility with Opera as well as improve file link creation for content.

New Features:

• node/246914: add alert dialogs for FF and Opera to instruct how to enable clipboard support
• node/246918: enable Opera context menuing via use of alt key + right mouse button
• node/246921: add "Paste link in editor window" menu option + added metadata title support
• Improve feedback if a root directory has been moved/deleted or not created
• Hide WebFM debug fieldset in settings for all uses other than #1

Bug Fixes:

• Disable WebFM help link if help module not enabled
• fix return of exif_imagetype call in webfm.module

Implement patch submitted by Milos at http://drupal.org/node/245635 to add a file ownership column to the file listing.
This release also includes the fix at http://drupal.org/node/246549

A bit too fast with the last release since mkdir rename wasn't working from the context menu - it now works. This release also restores the image view iframe functionality that 2.10 broke.

This release addresses the following feature requests:

• node/243058 whereby uploaded files in node-edit are automatically attached to the node.
• node/243062 whereby newly created folders are automatically given rename focus in the directory listing. Currently this feature is only working with the directory create icon at the top right of the listing. Fix for menu operation to come.

Performance issues with large files referred by node/245421 have been corrected. Moreover, file/dir moves are much faster now that rename is used rather than the drupal copy/delete operation within file_move() of file.inc.

Initial release of 6.x version of webfm. This release represents a 'just get it to work' port of webfm 2.9 to Drupal 6. Areas that could stand improvement include making use of new D6 js features (e.g. t and theming) and a proper template file for the lone theme function.
This release is provided for testers and early adopters to try out the port and report issues. Do no use in a production environment.

This release gives administrators the right to modify file ownership via the metadata editor.

• Fixed name sort re: node/241353
• Added file owner name info to metadata
• added administrator capability to edit file uid
• Implement feedback for metadata edit

This release fixes a syntax error in version 2.7 that causes an error if the allow_call_time_pass_reference isn't set to true in php.ini. The internal help documentation has also been updated.

Note that the webfm_images module has be updated to fix an error due to the schema change to the webfm_file table in the previous release.

• Allow admins to set whether metadata title or actual file name is listed in the browser. If metadata title is selected, rename of file is disabled. Title rename still resides in metadata editor. The fname field of the webfm_file table has been dropped so a db update is required.
• Fix upload versioning of files the are not in the database. No version options presented to allow delete of original file.

Maintenance release that rolls up recent bug fixes:

• uninstall fixed
• date formatting for IE fixed
• utf decoding fixed in Metadata

New feaures:

• views patch courtesy of eagle82
• 'put link in clipboard' menu item (NOTE: This feature may require browser settings to be adjusted)
• file link added to Metadata (if file permission is public)

A maintenance release to fix various bugs:

• date sort in browser listing
• unescaped metadata
• browser scrolling on pop-up resize
• install script required update for a new database

Download count has been added to metadata and views.

Radio buttons to select dd/mm/yy or mm/dd/yy date formats have been added to settings
Fixed a menu bug that limited menu to 10 selections.
Added scroll compensation for pop-up windows that are scrolled out of view on long lists.

File level permissioning added for admins and file owners:

• Public download: Allows the file to be downloaded anonymously even if .htaccess exists.
• Role View/Download: Allows users of the same role to view/download the file.
• Role Attach: Allows users of the same role with view rights to attach the file to nodes.
• Role Full Access: Allows users of the same role to delete/rename/move/attach/alter metadata for the file. File permission edits are not allowed by role.

fixed bug that prevented admins seeing files not in the database.

• The webfm_send function has been made secure so that only attached files can be viewed by users with 'view webfm attachments' rights but without 'access webfm' rights. Users with 'access webfm' will not be able to download files that are not in their root directories and are unattached.
• The webfm root is now hidden from users with 'access webfm' rights.
• Attached files now have a config setting to allow download to a new browser window.
• Anonymous users can now have the 'access webfm' right.
• Multiple roles with the 'access webfm' right and the same root path no longer create redundant trees.

Added an upload permission to WebFM access control. This right pertains only to roles with the 'access webfm' right. Roles with the 'administer webfm' right can always upload.

This new major version implements permissions.

• Only users in a role with 'administer webfm' rights can manipulate directories. Such users have full access to all capabilities and settings of the module.
• Users in a role with 'access webfm' rights can access the browser and view/download/attach/detach any file below the root directory set for that role. Users cannot navigate above this path.
• Files without a record in the webfm_file table cannot be viewed in the browser by users with 'access webfm' rights. Only files with a db record are attachable, or can be associated with metadata.
• File owners and admins are the only users capable of file delete/rename/move or metadata editing.

Root directories are now self creating in settings - leading forward slash is no longer required.
The module path no longer uses the admin prefix so a menu cache flush is required if upgrading from a 1.x release (navigate to admin/build/menu).

This release enhances the presentation of attachments, uses a textarea for description file metadata, refactors drag-and-drop containers and puts metadata editing and image downloads into a movable/resizable popup window.

Maintenance release that improves feedback, tree refreshes and squishes an IE and a Safari bug. Some changes to admin/settings/webfm layout.

This release fixes refresh bugs for the tree and listing.
Ftp dir listings now have proper file details and menu choices.
Attachment descriptions are now optional in settings.

This version updates upload so that file versioning is possible. Now attachments to nodes or file metadata can be maintained without having to manually detach/re-attach or reenter metadata when a file of the same path is updated via the upload fieldset. Currently there is no rollback capability.

Improvements to useability, cross browser compatibility and error feedback. Directory listing cache has been improved such that only directories affected by user operations are flushed. Files can now be removed from the database (preparation for permissions work (5.x-2.x)).
NOTE: The version numbers skip 1.7 due to a tagging error on my part

The tag for this release was botched so please ignore this version. Unfortunately cvs tagging errors can only be fixed by Drupal support personnel and I don't have the patience to wait.

Daily snaphot of head

Release to include many incremental changes to dev version.
Major changes

• Views support
• Refactor file insertion into database (make ftp tree optional)
• Refactor menuing and search

Also bug fixes and usability improvements

TODO: IE drag-and-drop improvement

Head of 5 branch.

Post Oct19 releases implement permissions.
- Each role granted 'access webfm' rights must have a root directory that is a subdirectory of the webfm filesystem directory. This directory can be created by an administrator within the module via the normal 'create directory' methods or via the settings page.

- Only users in a role with 'administer webfm' rights can manipulate directories. Such users have full access to all capabilities and settings of the module.

- Users in a role with 'access webfm' rights can access the browser and view/download/attach/detach any file below the root directory set for that role. Users cannot navigate above this path.

- Files without a record in the webfm_file table cannot be viewed in the browser by users with 'access webfm' rights. Only files with a db record are attachable, or can be associated with metadata.

- File owners and admins are the only users capable of delete/rename/move or metadata editing.

Note that post Oct19 versions must flush the menu cache if upgrading from an older install (navigate to admin >> menu) to allow the new path to register.

Note that post Sept14 versions use new permission strings that affect older installs. Administrators will be required to update the access controls for WebFM if upgrading a pre Sept14 install of the module.

Synchronize with changes made to 5.x-1.5 plus addition of hook_link. Fix also to positioning of current directory listing in IE.

Maintenance release that addresses rename security issue, adds postgres install tables, fixes context menuing in IE, and fixes themeing of hook_form_alter

Addition of the webfm_ext_example module in the contrib sub-dir. This example module is for developers who wish to extend the functionality of WebFM to make drupal act as an application server. Using the context menu, users can operate on uploaded files. The module must have the .remove extension removed to activate.

Fixes also for rename.
Inline uploads to the ftp area are now permitted

Fixed get metadata bug.
Added cache for directory listings (any CRUD flushes cache).

Minor change to allow inline upload - multiple uploads issue still unresolved
Make sql ops uppercase

The 5 port required encapsulating old drupal.js calls into the webfm namespace since jquery isn't used (except for collapsing fieldsets). The module has been amalgamated into a single file and upload.js is used instead of webfm_upload.js. Two upload issues are unresolved. 1/ the page must be reloaded for multiple uploads 2/ the directory being uploaded to must be manually refreshed to show the new uploaded file. Drag and drop is improved since the dir/file anchors are now draggable.

Add date info to modified column for directories
Prevent move of folder into a dir with a folder of the same name
fix menuing bug
hardcode POST method for ajax
fix 4.0/4.1 compatibility of webfm.install file

Fixes to allow functioning when no mod_rewrite available in apache. Scrolling added to drag and drop.

This release fixes a namespace clash with TinyMCE by putting the event handler into the webfm namespace. Also the module now functions properly when clean-urls are disabled

The Drupal WebFM module presents a paradigm shift in file management for Drupal. This file manager is based on physical heirarchical directory structure unlike the traditional flat filesystem used to date. WebFM uses AJAX to allow users to arrange files on the server in the same way they do with file managers on their personal systems. This ability to heirarchically arrange files greatly enhances the managability of large collections of data.

Features

• Application-like look and feel via AJAX
• Drag and drop moves of files and directories (recursive)
• Attachment of files to multiple nodes - location independence allows dir restructuring to have no affect on attachment functionality
• Drag and drop attachment ordering
• Single file upload
• Staging area for mass upload/importation
• File delete/rename/attach/detach/metadata menu options
• Directory create/rename/delete menu options
• Secure file download
• Metadata editor (fixed fields at this time)
• File search
• Debug area for javascript development
