[project-open-development] Intranet-FS Package

[Malte S. <mal...@co...>]

Hi Frank,

as you asked me for the ]po[ Frontend for OpenACS Filestorage, here is how it works at the moment:

The intranet-fs component is looking for the project_id when called (yes, we could have generalized that, but we did not). Then it figures out if there is a folder already associated with the project. If yes, display the contents of this folders, if not, create a new folder under the /projects folder (or, if a subproject, below the parent_project) under the main mounted file-storage instance and use acs_rels to associate it with the project.

Additionally two callbacks are needed:

1) Whenever a project is changed, check if we need to move the folder because the parent_id (Superproject) has changed.
2) Whenever we change the membership information on the project, reset the permissions.

Permissions is actually a little bit more tricky than just 2) and we are actually thinking about solving it differently, but as long as no customer complains, we have no incentive to fix it.

So, to answer your second question: We don't have file-storage instances per object or object_type. There is only one file-storage root folder to be used, in line with the rest of ]project-open[ thinking, good or bad :-).

Ideally we should get an AJAX (ExtJS) file storage frontend for that, but again, as long as noone is asking for it (and paying), no need to bother. It should be fairly easy to build though and you could take a look at  the ajax-filestorage-ui which exists in OpenACS, yet I don't like how that one works (and looks....)

Best wishes
  Malte
