file attributes for the Document Handling System

Thursday 06 July 2006 11:08:29 am

I have deployed eZ as an intranet / Document Management System for a Silicon Valley based biometric company. I would like to attach several file attributes to each document, amongst them what kind of Non-Disclosure Agreement required, the author department, date, product and so forth. Furthermore, I'd like to be able to search for documents, given attributes, and get a return with all the documents matching the search attributes.

Is this possible to do with eZ and if so, how do I do it? Is it possible to attach user-specific attributes to all the documents in the Document Management System?

Thanks! This is great! To take it a little further, I'd like to display these attributes' values to my users when they log in to the intranet.

I added a checkbox attribute to the class File, and ticked the box in the admin_panel. But that attribute's value doesn't appear in the document listing in the intranet.

How do I display files' attributes to users?

Where do I find the line view template for the file class and what do I put into it and where?
