Document tags/description
generaltao - January 12, 2009 - 21:17
We did searches to make sure this wasn't already posted. Essentially what we need to do is be able to associate a description/tag to any document uploaded under the profile node.
So basically we allow users to have a nice collection of files and then later when we search it's going to check in the document description/tag.
Can anybody provide support on this one? We looked high and low and couldn't find anything that does this.
Some precision
Just a precision: the description or tag is not a usual text field, but a drop-down with categories the user will have to choose from.
I am aware of the description text field available after a file is uploaded. But we'd like to know if a drop-down field is possible to implement, and by curiousity, if there are any way to associate more meta data to uploaded files without the need of create a separate node type for files in general and a separate node for every uploaded file.

Result
Using a combination of search_files.module and a custom module we wrote, we were able to accomplish this.
