Hi all,
I think I'm now ready to head for my biggest headache while setting up my site :
the content of the site (as opposed to news & blogs) is supposed to be uploaded by the users available from the panel which would include text as well as uploading images and zips/rars from their local puters. this should happen via a submission form available from the user menu (for those members only).
to visualize my idea I have attached a couple (bad) pics as well as a doc with some details.
since I have no idea what I should be looking for could somebody pls help me getting started?
would there be an extension around for something like this?
or would I need to start by writing the xml for the submission form from scratch? - Last Edit: 17 years 9 months ago by chrissy6930.

Remository might be your best bet. Or maybe Docman.
I am leaning towards Remository though as it has a nicer layout for lots of data like that.

thanks for the suggestion Daniel!
since I've been playing around a bit with the frontend of remository mostly fiddling with remositoryAddFileHTML.php I have about the basic look I want for the submission form - ezee - but also a bunch-o-questions
- how do joomla categories/ menu items set up as blog-content category and Remository containers work together?
- how can I ensure that the available categories (containers?) for a creator are those associated with 'their' section?
- those image boxes&buttons at the bottom. at mom they are setup just like the file button with an adjusted title:so... hmm! how would I define something like an 'uploadImageBox' and get it to work?$this->uploadFileBox(_SUBMIT_NEW_FILE); $this->uploadFileBox(_SUBMIT_NEW_IMAGE); $this->uploadFileBox(_SUBMIT_NEW_IMAGE2);

For the 3 files.
You can upload the actual file, then add thumbnails to it once it's up. I forget if you can add thumbnails at the same time as when you are uploading the file.
Categories etc don't fit into remository at all. You can however make categories within remository to mimic this if you want.
To do the permissions stuff you will need to set up some groups and manually add people to them in the remository back end. -

I just figured that I need to upload the file first, and once its published I can add a single thumbnail. ???

well yes. its just so far I couldn't figure out how to establish a tree structure , how to create moomenu dropdowns pointing to those categories and finally how to get the segments populated... ???
would be totally cool if you could provide some guidance
