Document Management

In August of 2006, I wrote a blog post about Drupal for Documents. In that post I outlined some of the modules that could be used together to build a document management system in Drupal.

This group is for the discussion of best practices for storing files in Drupal, consideration of improvements and modules that could help improve the process, and for other document related issues in Drupal.

So has anyone set up a DMS with Drupal + Solr ?

Now that [edit Solr ] apachesolr has moved on considerably, I was wondering if anyone has used it's full text indexing of documents combined with the taxonomy, and access control of drupal as part of a DMS.

I tried this a year ago, couldnt get it working and ended up with a Knowledge Tree/Drupal integrated solution, which seems good at the time, but in use was too disparate. I want it in Drupal (!), not another system.


Webserver authentication + LDAP

I am working on a drupal site that will be used within a corporate intranet. One of the challenges I have been working through is automatic authentication with our Active Directory server.

Document management needed

public
jmeehan - Wed, 2007-11-28 16:38

I am looking for a module that will do the following:

  • Multiple uploads at once (drag and drop would be nice).
  • Directory browsing of these files or something similar.
  • Simple links for search engine crawling.
  • Incorporate Drupal security to prevent unauthorized access.
  • Ability to organize files by directory.

Does such a module or group of modules exist that will accomplish each of these tasks?

How to create a Node with VCS capabilties

amitaibu - Mon, 2007-10-08 19:00

Hello,
I'd like to a CCK content type with a file field. However I'd like the File to be VCSed, meaning that when the file is changed it will be logged. As far as I understand Jakob's new module is not connected to a specific node.

I'd like to use such a thing in order to build a system which accepts files, and allows adding more data, that later could be used to filter the nodes, i.e. files.

Any idea how to?

Cheers,
Amitai

I just wanted to make a quick post to mention that I just noticed the new KT project posted by haimoura to integrate Drupal with Knowledge Tree (an Open Source DMS written in PHP). Here's the project description:

Integration of Knowlege Tree DMS in drupal.

Knowledge Tree project : http://www.knowledgetree.com

KnowledgeTree is document management made simple: a simple yet powerful, free, commercial open source and Web-based document management system.

current docs status and an rfc

dikini - Tue, 2007-06-05 08:24

I've made two alfa releases of the module, more on the way. The module is still in alfa for three main reasons:

  • would love more feedback
  • more features need to be implemented
  • there are known bugs affecting installation edge cases

Currently implemented features

  • Directories - implemented based on taxonomy

docs.module in cvs

public

I uploaded a simple file/document management module. I consider it a pre-beta quality, so you won't get it through the project interface, just cvs. It targets D5 at the moment, but is trivial to port to D6.

There are quite a few more things I want to add to it. Some of them are probably going to end as extension modules.

Why just another module doing something like file management?

  • no dependencies outside core
  • upload.module might be a hack, but it supports revisions and other goodies
  • taxonomy is a good analogy for folders

Modules for DMS

zostay's picture

zostay - Fri, 2007-04-06 02:29

After reading Hariska2@drupal.org's comment about creating a rudimentary DMS module, I was thinking about wanting just such a thing. (It is part of the reason for establishing this group.)

However, much of the functionality already exists. I want to make sure that if I aid in the creation of a new module for document management that that module doesn't totally overlap existing functionality to much. However, there are some pretty significant improvements that I think could be made. I will commence with suggesting the things that already exist and then consider what is missing.

Drupal for Documents

Now that the group is out of moderation I feel comfortable announcing this group. Drupal is not and does not provide a document management system (DMS). However, by creatively assembling a few modules it is possible to provide a limited amount of functionality. I've created this group to discuss strategies for managing documents in Drupal.
