File Library Developer Diary

I've been working on a file library module for Scoop since about spring. I stopped in the summer because of other projects, but now I have a bit of time to work on it some more.

Here are some features it has and some that are still in process.

    Features
  1. You can upload most any file type.
  2. Short and long description
  3. Section for organization
  4. Limit upload to certain groups
  5. Global or per user file upload size limit
  6. Not so easy inclusion of pictures in stories

    Planned
  1. Javascript based file picking for stories
  2. User can specify own section
  3. User can create photo gallery
  4. Per user total file upload limit
  5. Administrator approval of picture uploads
  6. Locking of used files and images so they can't be deleted

In a few days (by end of weekend) I'll make the files and diff's available via ftp.

I see that theantix has beet me to it.  Not to be outdone.  Here is what I have.    

Now is working very easy inclusion of files (both pictures and file links) into stories.  It does automatic thumbnailing using identify and convert from the ImageMagick stuff that seems standard on most Linux distributions.

You can try it out at http://www.mrrc.net if you wish.

I have not tested using these files on a clean scoop copy. So if this eats your scoop then sorry is all I have to offer.
