Tom Dellaringa	Tuesday 18 May 2004 6:26:48 am Hi everyone, We're evaluating eZ Publish as a possible solution for an internal portal. Couple questions about the file uploading capabilities: 1. Is there any versioning of files? 2. Do the files merely get dumped into one central folder, or can you specify a file structure for uploads? Thanks Tom

Tom Dellaringa	Tuesday 18 May 2004 7:25:24 am Hm, so do we know what this configurable limit is? This portal would have quite a bit of content. What do you mean by abstract for the file system? Can I have a file upload widget in each section where I want files uploaded? I assume that way files would be in their proper places...

This portal would have In priciple there are no limits and is a configurable in the content.ini file, defualt is: [VersionManagement] DefaultVersionHistoryLimit=10 VersionHistoryClass[1]=5 >quite a bit of content. What do you mean by abstract for the file system? All content is stored in a node tree, which is in certain aspects the equivalent of a hierarchical file system. However the relation between the location of a file in that node tree and where it is physically stored is maintained in the ez publish database. >Can I have a file upload widget in each section where I want files >uploaded? I assume that way files would be in their proper places... Yes, no problem. You can specify where the files should be in your widget (a small form in a template actually).
