Document Management

Greeting, I'm eager to correspond more about Drupal and document management.

I've been experimenting with Document and Filedepot. What do you all think about those two. What else should one consider?

I've had nothing but good success using DocumentLocator as my document management software solution, but would like to know what others think. Has anyone else used this before or are you even aware of it? My favorite part is how easily it integrates with Windows and Office. Hit me up if you have any questions, but you can find more information here: http://www.documentlocator.com

I am looking for some expert advise from Drupal module developer. We have found the existence of module for document management software. Unfortunately we use different document management software.

In order to manage our website content we are planning to migrate to Drupal. Do any of you have ever used Content Central - document management software from Ademero ( http://www.ademero.com )

If not what type of information you will need to know whether it is possible to develop module for this document management software.

They use SQL server.

Thanks in advance

I am seeking advice about what might be the best database program to use to create a large pre-MySQL database, from which I will select the content to export/import/enter into a Drupal MySQL database.

I am developing my first Drupal site -- a web portal where information will be organized by relevance to various generations. The site will launch with a Baby Boomer orientation, with information organized for various baby boomer niches, and then expand to serve more generational niches.

Hi.

I'm a complete Drupal noob, tasked with creating technical documentation on a short budget. From what I've seen, Drupal as a front end will work, but I have no idea what modules to use or where to begin. Please review the requirements below and provide any pointers you can.

Many thanks!

Are you working with clients who have document, contract, or agreement signing that could be automated and integrated into their site? Do you want to develop the skills to offer the technology in your own business (like me)? Where there are papers to sign there is usually value nearby. Are you up for fun competition, meeting other developers, and contributing back to the community?

If this sounds interesting, then join our team for an electronic signature weekend hackathon!

Maarch is a small but growing French company based in Nanterre ( near Paris ).
They are very interested in the project of interfacing drupal and Maarch (via web services) and are willing to invest in this project.

The filedepot module is a feature rich application for managing and sharing files securely across your organization or user community. The module is easy to install as it only requires the base CCK and filefield modules. The filedepot module has been developed to provide the user with an easy to use functions to search, download, edit and add documents. The user interface has been developed with design cues from Google Docs and makes extensive use of modern web application technologies to behave like a desktop application.

Hi,

I posted the below as a feature request in the DAV API issue queue http://drupal.org/node/702860.

Thought it might interest some people here so here it is :

Fixing a small bug http://drupal.org/node/451762 caused by a conflict between File Server and File Relation Server made me dream again about what I first dreamt about when I tried File Server. Imagine! No more dictatorship of the hierarchical folder structure! Multi-parent taxonomies, graph-like access to files... Very inspiring :) Here's maybe one way to go down this route.

Now that [edit(削除) Solr (削除ここまで)] 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.

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.

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?

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.

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

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

I see that the Summer of Code slots have been set. 20 of them are drupal related and of those
Unified File Management http://code.google.com/soc/drupal/appinfo.html?csaid=FA475F12A343C364
Private versus Public File Management for Drupal http://code.google.com/soc/drupal/appinfo.html?csaid=31A32F81A3DD031
and perhaps
Taxonomy Manager http://code.google.com/soc/drupal/appinfo.html?csaid=5374D02AB6384CDF
may have application here.

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.

This is a proposal on how to use Organic Groups to create work sites for collaboration.
