Webdav enabled Intranet with personal folder space

Monday 11 July 2005 12:07:41 am

Hi there,

We are developing an intranet in which each user has their personal space to upload files etc.

I have been looking around the forums, and obviously the article:

http://ez.no/community/articles/build_a_webdav_enabled_intranet_with_ez_publish

helps me out loads :) I have also seen other articles that show how to create a personal folder for users when they register or their accounts are created by admin through workflows:

http://ez.no/community/forum/general/dinamically_creating_a_folder_asigning_roles

http://ez.no/community/forum/developer/dynamic_creation_of_a_folder

I want to add a link on the page 'my documents' - this links into their personal folder area - could anyone tell me how I'd code this link to automatically point to the folder setup for the user thats logged in?

Thanks, Steve.

Hi,

Assuming you've the workflow to create the folder, you can do it using only the access rights.

You crate a "content/Personal folders"
For each user, you create a subfolder (owned by the user), eg
content/Personal folders/Xavier Dutoit

With the following access rights:
read: owner
write: owner

And that's it, on webdav, you only get content/Personal Folders/Steve Walker (as you don't have the access rights to the other personal folders).

Hello,

I would like to achieve the same thing. Steve, could you please post some sample code, especially for folder creation + roles assignment workflow ?

Did you write a special admin interface for the visitors who want to edit their personnal folder ?

Thanks

Oops you are right, I didn't mean "edit" the folder, but create objects under it.

I'll have a look at ParentOwner, thx ;)
