  • The tooltips box works with both files and revisions
  • Revision preview will show details of the defined "current" revision

This release adds support for multi-site replication, when using in conjunction with the replication module.

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.

Features

• Application-like look and feel via AJAX
• Drag and drop moves of files and directories
• Attachment of files to nodes
• Embedding of images in the filesystem to nodes
• Single file upload
• File delete/rename/view/download-file/attach/embed/acls
• File revision management

Coming Soon:

• File search(in development)
• File subscriptions(in development)

This module is based on WebFM and is being developed by eServGlobal
