File Management

Looking for co-maintainer. See message in issue queue.

Note from the security team: this module requires your webserver to be able to write Drupal modules. This is inherently insecure. Usage on live sites is strongly discouraged.

Upload Package module allows you upload modules through Drupal's administration interface. It enables a new task on the Drupal module and theme administration page. This task will let you enter a URL containing the project package tarball or enter a tarball file to upload.

This module is now in beta testing phase.
This was updated on March 27, 2008.

Media Manager is designed for easily managing the incoming media from a variety of sources. It provides for media simply as files, or, by using the media_nodes module, allows media to have the full benefits of nodes. Media can be attached to nodes, providing the ability for playlists or slideshows, and display of images, audio and video within a node.

There are quite a few features planned to be added, however, the first deployable version will be rather limited.

Requires Media API.

MimeDetect provides a complete system for detecting the actual content of files in your Drupal site.

By default, Drupal provides a "guessing" system based on the filename extension. This is very weak and your site could store files with real content different from the one indicated by its extension.

MimeDetect provides detection on two levels:

This module adds support to drupal to display the upload progress as a file is being uploaded. This will display on top of the current ajax uploadbar the message including %uploaded, upload speed and estimated time to upload.

If you are upgrading from an earlier release as of 22 feb - you can undo the patch to upload.js - the new release no longer depends on the patch.

the new release will also display progress information when the form is submitted at the bottom of the form if the form has file attachments.

Add capabilities to search files names or descriptions.

The asset API has for goal to provide some kind of abstraction layer for the file management.

It is not yet ready for production use

(but I'm working hard on it and try to do may best)

It is composed of a main module and some sub-modules (implementing handling of some file types like images, pdf, flv video, swf files, openoffice documents and archives).

Unique Avatar circumvents unwanted browser caching of user pictures by creating a unique filename each time the image is uploaded. When a user picture is uploaded, a 32-character unique id is appended to the the filename.

Unique Avatar also flushes any ImageCache caches of the existing user picture.

Search Files allows searching for files in node attachments and in arbitrary directories. Text is extracted by externally provided helper applications.

Helper Applications

In order to extract text, this module calls 'helper apps' such as cat and pdftotext. Drupal administrators can configure any helpers they like. Helper apps need to be installed on the server and need to be setup to print to stdout.

Ever wish that Drupal had a front-end code editor? Frustrated with using the space bar to indent code in textareas? Wish you could back up your node code to a hard file? Then Save-to-File might be the solution for you!

Save-to-File adds a link under a textarea to "Save to file". When clicked, some handy javascript moves the entire content of the textarea to a file, and replaces the textarea content with a short function that will grab the content from a file the next time the content is loaded.
