Re: file manager

Hi again,

When you browse the File Explorer, you have a 
small "i" icon which opens a pop-up with all the 
details about the file. Including all the DAV 
metadata. And the users have the option to add 
new DAV ressources. You should be able to add new 
DAV properties programmatically but I am not 
myself a WeBDAV expert. Please check the Apache 
Slide web site for more information about the DAV server.

Else, if you choose to make a Jahia containerlist 
(check the Jahia template and integration doc), 
you just need to declare in your jsp file a new 
ctnlist with a file field and a description 
field. Then editors will be able to add a 
description on their files. Please note that by 
default, Jahia is already delivered with the 
default DublinCore set of metadata which already 
includes a "description" field for each content object.

Last but not least, for certain type of binary 
files (office or PDF), Jahia also indexes the 
file properties. If you prefer you can then 
decide to add new properties within your Word 
document and then map this new property to the 
Jahia Lucene indexer (in order to make some 
advanced search on top of it -  please note that 
such an option is currently only available in the 
HEAD branch (check the nightly builds in order to 
test the HEAD branch and not the SP one) and you 
need to activate WebDAV search and indexing (in 
your jahia.properties file you have two options to turn on:
######################################################################
### Filemanager  #####################################################
######################################################################
# Configuration of the file manager that uses Slide as a back-end.
jahiaFileRepositoryDiskPath 
=   $context/WEB-INF/var/content/filemanager/
useFlatFileManager                                      =   false
fileLockOnPublication                                   =   false
showGEDProperties                                       =   true
enableSlideSearch                                       =   true

This will be part of the new advanced DMS 
features. In the Corpv2 set of templates, you 
should then see a new Advanced File Search 
tabulation which allows you to search within 
uploaded files (or to make saved searches). You 
can also map a "saved search results" in a Jahia 
box (if you add a new box of type Search Results) 
which will list all the files of your dynamic 
saved search criteria (with colums to display, 
ranking, number of files to be listed per box, 
etc... being customizable). You can also create 
several navigation axis for your files (by using 
the Jahia categories) and then generate 
cross-directories searches (e.g. by hierarchy, by 
project, by status,...). We will soon make a more 
detailled documentation on these new features.

Cheers,
Stéphane
