Hi All
As you know, EDocman has an advance feature called "
Herachical folder structure". This feature allows each category will have it own folder to store it's documents. This post will guide you how to use this feature .
1. You need to download and upgrade your site to latest version of EDocman (1.0.3 for now) .
2. Go to EDocman -> Configuration, set
Use Herachical Folder Structure config option to
Yes .
3. Now when you create/edit category, you will see a field called
Documents Path in add/edit category screen. You can enter the path of the folder (relative path) which you want to store documents of this category. We will go though an example to understand how it works :
- You have a category called
Joomla . This categories contains 3 sub-categories :
Components,
Modules and
Plugins. And you want that each of this sub category can have it own folder to store documents from that category. The steps to setup are :
+ Create a category called
Joomla. In Documents Path field, please enter joomla (or you can leave it empty because infact, no Documents will be stored in this parent category) .
+ Create a category
Components. In the Documents Path field, enter
joomla/components .
+ Create a category called
Modules. In the Documents Path field, enter
joomla/modules .
+ Create a category called
Plugins. In the Documents Path field, enter
joomla/plugins .
- Let says in the Configuration of EDocman, you set
Documents Path config option to
/www/joomla/edocman. Now :
+ When you submit a Document to
Components category, the file of this document will be uploaded to
/www/joomla/edocman/joomla/components folder .
+ When you submit a Document to
Modules category, the file of this document will be uploaded to
/www/joomla/edocman/joomla/modules folder .
+ When you submit a Document to
Plugins category, the file of this document will be uploaded to
/www/joomla/edocman/joomla/plugins folder .
I hope this example is easy to understand and you now understand how Herachical folder structure feature in EDocman works. If you have questions about this feature, please don't hesitate to ask !
