flexicontent seems incompatible with docman

we tried flexicontent to check if this could had some functions to docman pdf extension

it seems that flexicontent is incompatible with docman.


joomla 5 and docman v5 beta

also i did not find where is the BC plugin download for flexicontent

hello
1 you need to explain more what did you want to do
2 you need to complet report error
3 we didn't have licence to for testing
sorry we didn't have cristal ball lol

1 you need to explain more what did you want to do

flexicontent is a big extension and we wanted to evaluate it
to check if this could work in our actual worflow based on docman

2 you need to complet report error

some steps of the flexicontact installation / activation where not OK
all docman document pages were unaccessible

this post is more a feedback in case you are interested in being compatible with docman.

we are simply docman user
we already have provided staging env with docman for the ones interested by this extension

sorry but not realy a report
1 you want to use edocman in flexicontent but how ?
2 did you actived error reporting to see and check error ? page isn't accessble isnt a return ... we can't help you => it like you say my car doesn't works, that not precise
3 we can't buy edocman to check it you need to help us to understand more your problem

flexicontent is a very wide extension

we were not sure how to use flexicontent with docman
it was just a very small evaluation

multimapping could be interesting for example.


it is joomlatools docman not edocman


we have not a very precise idea about how to use flexicontent.
so for the moment we have not made a deep debugging.

we may come back to it later on

why did you need docman ? did you test file field ?
if you want to extend it you can create a content type "file" and more information more field etc
you can add file content indexation (pdf and text)

we are using those functions from docman :

frontend mass submission of files for validated users
frontend submission per file for non registered users


docman create document page and publish it.

frontend editor for published documents.

---

flexicontent versioning could have been useful for fontend content editing

i think it possible to do this
1 every field is multi value
1 every field have specific ACL
create a "file" type
you can create a multi value file field and allow only for registred user
add a signle file field only for guest
and allow review need for gest user
that it

if i understand you think flexicontent can do this usecase by itself ?
we may make a testbed with your short workflow

in the case of mass upload of several pdf documents.
does the process you wrote can create one presentation page/article per pdf document ?

so that description, tags, categories, ratings, comments..... can also be edited on a unique dedicated page for each document.

 

Ah that more complexe (lol that for it i ask more explain)
no out of box user can't create multi item (article) via a multi upload pdf (you mean extract content directly in pdf content and create 1 item peer pdf ?)
maybe it can add by custom code to acheive this
