I just recently inherited the RedDot 7.5 system at the university where I work after the previous web manager left. The question I have is the process that others use for uploading files(images, PDFs, etc.) to be used on pages.
We currently have folders created for each department that has a site in RedDot under Administer Project Settings->Folders They send us the files they want to use and we put them in their folder then they can access them for use on their page. We get a lot of requests for uploading files and I wondered if there was a better way to do this. I was told that the reason it’s done this way is because the individual editors in the departments don’t have access to these folders and we wanted to maintain a consistent naming structure for the files. I thought about writing something in PHP to allow the user to login and upload files to their folder, this would use a admin account behind the scenes to FTP the files up. The only problem with this is I’m sure there are entries written to the database when these files are uploaded using the SmartTree and I wouldn’t want to get anything out of sync. Is this a job for RQL? How is everyone else handling uploading user files? Thanks, Brian -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RedDot CMS Users" group.
