Releases for DataBase File Manager

Release notes

This release addresses some issues discovered with 5.x.6.0 and added dependancies.

Release notes

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.

Release notes

Fixes Include

• The dbFM directory listing has changed for Internet Explorer.
• Various fixes to tooltips.

Note:
dbFM uses tabs from the javascript tools module - http://drupal.org/project/jstools.

This was fine up to release 5.x-0.6 - however dbfm no longer worked with the releases after that. The problem is that the tabs code doesn't allow for the fact that tabs may be used within an iframe (We have raised the issue but, at the time of release, have received no reply). A small patch for the tabs.js file which corrects the problem is included in this DBFM release and works for version 5.x-1.2.

SO, you can either use jstools release 5.x-0.6 and dbfm will work fine OR install release 5.x-1.2 and apply the patch.

The patch file tabs.patch is in the top level dbfm directory and you need to move it into the jstools/tabs directory. To apply it make sure you've cd'ed into the directory then type:

patch < tabs.patch

or if you feel you need to back up the original try:

patch -b < tabs.patch

Once you've done that you can use the latest tabs code with cool fade effects etc.

The README file has also been updated.
