Web File Manager

cweagans - January 5, 2007 - 22:30

The WebFM module presents a paradigm shift in file management for Drupal. This file manager is based on a hierarchical directory structure unlike the traditional flat filesystem used to date. WebFM uses AJAX to allow administrators to arrange files on the server in the same way they do with file managers on their personal systems. This ability to hierarchically arrange files improves the manageability of large collections of documents.

Features

  • Application-like look and feel via AJAX
  • Permissions by role and file uid
  • Drag and drop moves of files and directories
  • Attachment of files to multiple nodes and/or comments - location independence allows dir restructuring to have no affect on attachment functionality
  • Drag and drop attachment ordering
  • Single file upload with version options for file overwrite
  • File delete/rename/view/download-file/add-to-db/remove-from-db/attach/detach/metadata/permissions
  • Directory create/rename/delete/add-files-to-db/add-files-recursive-to-db
  • Secure file view/download
  • Metadata editor (fixed fields at this time)
  • File search
  • Debug area for javascript development
  • Views support for WebFM attachments

Discussion about future iterations of this module is being held in #592956: [discussion] Ground-up rewrite of WebFM.

Note: Pre 5.x-2.7 versions of the module database cannot be migrated directly to 6.x!  Module database tables earlier than 5.x-2.7 must be updated to a later 5.x version before they can be used in a 6.x installation.
