article specific download-field?

Hello FC Team,

i like the feature of article specific image fields and the fact, nobody else can see these images in other articles.

Now i was wondering, if this would be possible for a download field too? It looks, as if no matter of secure or media folder, all uploaded downloads are visible in all other articles. Did i miss something or may this be a feature request, if not yet possible

Thank you and best regards, Macjoomla

Hello

yes but default, uploaded files,
are it visible to the same user, aka to the uploader

do you have a suggestion or usage scenario or propose some option ?

Yes, we have articles with specific downloads related to it and maybe they are never used again. So it would be first fine, not to have an increasing list of downloads each new time of uploading and for second would be fine, if article will be deleted, related downloads will be deleted too.

Thank you and best regards, MAcjoomla

Hello

if you remove the files, how will re-add them if you can see a list of them ?

Sorry, what i wanted to say is, what about handle documents in a article specific way, like it is working already with image files?

So there would not be global downloads, but just article related downloads, so on every new article, you dont have a long list to choos from, but you will upload new documents for each apptopriate article. So readding would need reuploading, but in our case, we nearly never need a document twice because its article related.

Hello

my question is real, i mean your feedback is useful

do you have a suggestion of improving file field and file handling ?

- currently a user can see all files that he has uploaded
- priveleged users with list all files ACL privelege can see all files (e.g. super admin)

the above is for file field

for image/gallery we have:
- DB mode (like file field)
- folder mode (item_id_field_id) , isolates file per item and for specific field too
- Intro / full mode (use images added by Joomla intro/full image parameters), inside the "compatibility" TAB in item form

v3.1 will have for image field
- folder mode (new, create a per user_id folder)
- Joomla media manager mode


we will update the file field not to only have DB-mode (FC filemanager)
