flexicontent seems incompatible with docman

we are using those functions from docman :

frontend mass submission of files for validated users
frontend submission per file for non registered users


docman create document page and publish it.

frontend editor for published documents.

---

flexicontent versioning could have been useful for fontend content editing

i think it possible to do this
1 every field is multi value
1 every field have specific ACL
create a "file" type
you can create a multi value file field and allow only for registred user
add a signle file field only for guest
and allow review need for gest user
that it

if i understand you think flexicontent can do this usecase by itself ?
we may make a testbed with your short workflow

in the case of mass upload of several pdf documents.
does the process you wrote can create one presentation page/article per pdf document ?

so that description, tags, categories, ratings, comments..... can also be edited on a unique dedicated page for each document.

 

Ah that more complexe (lol that for it i ask more explain)
no out of box user can't create multi item (article) via a multi upload pdf (you mean extract content directly in pdf content and create 1 item peer pdf ?)
maybe it can add by custom code to acheive this
www.flexicontent.org/documentation/tutor...te-edit-records.html
www.flexicontent.org/documentation/tutor...icontent-fields.html

with docman
from frontend a user can upload many files : pdf or images.
select : categories and tags

docman will create a webpage for each document :

• document description (empty at first)
• document tag
• document category
• document first page thumbnail
• link to download document

this docman is working fine
but as  docman pages are a bit independant from joomla articles this brings some limitations :

• docman tags are not joomla tags
• joomla structured data schema cannot be applied on docman pages ...

if something equivalent can be done with your extensio,
n we will evaluate properly



(you mean extract content directly in pdf content and create 1 item peer pdf ?

docman smart search plugin extract pdf content to joomla smart search
docman does not extract content to push on the description
docman creates 1 page per item with  :

• empty description
• document thumbnail
• download link
• nice title

yep to do this you will need to add custom code (plugin) to achieve same thing
good testing
