Maybe it sounds a bit like a stupid question but are there no folders inside the File Repository tool?
It becomes pretty messy after a time for editors.
Manually created folders (via file system) are not displayed.
Best regards!
No. There is no folder implementation in Repository. There are initiatives to implement tags/labels instead of folder structure.
As a quick tip. If you name your files with a logic, you can use a quick search to sort required items pretty quickly.

I would like to query a website that provides files for download to see all the available files for download.
For example: webpage called https://download.website.com/path/to/file has a file of interest to me, but I would also like to see other available files available in the system publicly.
Essentially I would like to be able to view a hierarchy of all of the publicly-facing files given some parent link. So if I know I want all files stored under https://download.website.com/path/, the query would turn up a recursive list of available files from https://download.website.com/path/*.
Is this even possible to do for most websites? Would allowing this behavior be too compromising to web frameworks in general, so it might not exist? Am I XYing out of control?
Any help here greatly appreciated.
This method isn't perfect, but you can try it. Just put this query in Google Search.
You can do a Google search for some publicly available and indexed path.
For example if you want to search all available page on a website/domain:
site:download.website.com
If you want to search all PDF files in this site:
site:download.website.com filetype:pdf
If you want to search all links with path download.website.com/wp-content/:
site:download.website.com inurl:/wp-content/
I hope it will help you a little bit.
I do not have much experience with plone, I searched on other forums an answer to my problem but without success. I saw that with plone you can enter text via "Add" event, news, page, file .... is to add a file that I have encountered a problem, that I can not add more files. I need to add multiple files with a single description, there is a way to do it?
Thank you !
Supposing you are looking for a possibility to batch-upload files into a folder, there are several add-ons for help out there. I live happily with collective.quickupload, but you might want to make your own choice and have a look at the other products, too, as for example:
wildcard.foldercontents (this will be the default behaviour in Plone 5)
ATMassloader
collective.upload
collective.uploadify
PloneFlashUpload
PloneJUpload (Java)
sc.base.uploader
Also: Plone/Zope has a native FTP/WebDAV-support. You can connect to a running Plone using a Webdav client, upload files and see them loaded in the CMS.
Additionally plone.formwidget.multifile allows you to add a file-field to your contenttype, which is capable to select multiple files at once for the upload in one single file-field. Haven't seen an out-of-the-box integration into a contenttype around, though, just in case you'd like to do it :-)
Might be interesting, too in this context:
Browse-able ZIP
collective.archiveviewer
I notice that if I have another language in my project and change the HTML content file it will work on my computer but if I upload to the server it keeps the old HTML.
It seems to work if I modify the .resx resource file even if I don't make any changes, just add a space for example, then save, then upload also.
Why is this? I'm guessing that the HTML is cached somewhere, more importantly how can I upload a large batch of updated translations, without having to modify each .resx file??? I have a lot of Japanese
Thanks in advance
But .resx files needs to be compiled. That is why only upload doesn't work.
I just completed a project translating an existing site into several languages.
I did this using webforms with c# codebehind. Hope my answers can assist you...
I used RESX files to store the different language translations (index.aspx.fr-CA.resx for example) and in the c# code behind you would have to use 'protect override void InitializeCulture()' method to have the RESX files come into play. Do you have this setup?
I found it easily for me to create the multiple languages as such -- I would generate the local resource (after tagging the static content in tags) and then copy that generated RESX file, paste and rename it to the other language. The RESX file is an XML and in the VS it creates an easy to edit table view to copy and paste translated languages (or alternatively you can use tools such as RESX Manager -see link below). What I did, to keep it convenient to edit the syntax of different languages and modify, was take my existing content text and run it through Google or Bing translator and paste the translated text into the RESX files...
If your looking for something that will automatically translate your site for you and then re displays in an iframe, you can look into Bing Translation API http://www.microsoft.com/web/post/using-the-free-bing-translation-apis but in my case, this was not ideal as the translations would not take into account the syntax of different languages and you can not go in and edit after someone that speaks and is familiar with sites in that language tells you that it makes no sense! =P
Also this tool is very helpful if you already have existing RESX files and you will need to modify an section on one language, you can edit in the others easily. http://resxmanager.com/ its free for non-commercial use. It's easy to setup and can definitely safe you time when you get going.
I am very green at Drupal and I would like to recreate a list of files like the table that is shown at any module page in drupal.org [example]: it shows a table with the recommended releases and development releases. Each entry has a link to the file and some release notes.
What I would like is to clarify how this should be done, since I am new at drupal and I tend to be a bit confused. I am currently thinking that this is just a View, but I'm no sure.
In addition to this, I would also like to allow the download of these files to a specific role. I have managed to control this to pages, but not to attachments. Any ideas for this issue as well?
For the files, if you want access control on your files, you need to use the private files system which you can setup in the file settings. There are different modules that can help you with different tasks, like uploading etc.
How to best generate a table really depends where the files are coming from. If they are attached to nodes with CCK, it will be quite easy to use views. You can setup the fields, and how it should be displayed. If you want to create a download link, I believe you should use the generic file format.
I am particularly interested in a how hide folders work or how can it be achieved programatically (.net). How can I create a folder such a way that
its hidden
Does not appear in search (even if hidden folders are opted)
No files system structure modifications are required
How are folders encrypted. Any links or advices would be great. Thanks in advance.
I know you can hide drives using a registry setting:
http://www.pctools.com/guides/registry/detail/148/
but this will not create the invisibility in searches that you want. I know this doesn't really answer your question. However, if nothing else, hopefully it will keep others from going down that road... =p
On the other hand, Truecrypt is open source. I haven't had an interest in this subject myself, so I don't know how it works (beyond the fact that it uses a special storage driver in Windows), but you can check it out for yourself here:
http://www.truecrypt.org/downloads2.php
I expect it's a device driver (maybe a filter driver to the file system).
Without writing a device driver, the easiest way is to use one of the (apparently many) 3rd-party add-ons which implement this functionality.
