Xepient Solutions is proud to announce the release of Open-DocumentLibrary v3.0

Open-DocumentLibrary v3.0

Live Demo
In the live demo you are automatically granted admin access to a specific folder, so that you may get a feel as to how Open-DocumentLibrary works.
Note: The demo does not grant access to statistics, moderation and module settings.
Documentation
For an in-depth discussion of all of Open-DocumentLibrary and its powerful features, we have created an owner's manual.
Note: We are still working on the v3.0 of the manual. Please use v2.0 as a reference for now.
Trial Version
The trial version offers the possibility to see the module in action (with some restrictions).
Note: In order to download the trial, you will need to login (or register).
 Buy


the new features are:

  • Document Moderation. Roles and Users can be designated as moderators of specific folders, and any change to document or new uploads to those folders will need to be approved. It includes a workflow, where documents can be sent for re-work, re-submitted etc... All actions will be notified by mail. 
     
  • Folder level tracking. Any new document upload or change (in a given folder) can be tracked by individual users that will receive email notifications. 
     
  • WYSIWYG editor for document description. (IE only) 
     
  • Display templates. You will be able to change the layout of the document grid, following preset templates. There are currently 2 templates under development: the original grid, and the single column template, where all information is arrenged like a summary (like the repository module). 
     
  • Mime type icons next to the name of the document.  The list is extensible.
     
  • The possibility to hide the name of the document
     
  • Brand new Iconsets that will totally change the look of the module (the classic view is still available). The skinning capabilities have been restructured to allow complete customization through .css and ascx templates.
     
  • WebDav support.  This implementation does not require enabling any activeX, so there are no security holes on the client, but it does require WebDav to be setup on the server.
      
  • Libraries and code: we have upgraded all third parties (ajax and editor) libraries, to ensure increased performance and compatibility with .NET advances.  We always strive to make the module State of the Art.
     
  • Seamless upgrade.  You will not lose any data.  Just install on top of an existing O-DL implementation (starting from v1.5).

your feedback is always welcome

Re: Open-DocumentLibrary v3.0 Released    By Jasen on 1/8/2008
Great product. Installed it and have over 3,000 docs managed by it already. The .zip uploads is a great help! However, there is a bug that accidentally places the root folders in the wrong directory. The bug wasn't as much of a problem as the inability to "bulk move" documents in a folder to another folder. An option to select a number of files within a specific folder and move them all at the same time would make life much much much easier. It would have literally saved me hours on end. Or at least drag and drop files to different folders.<br><br>Another huge issues is lack of indexing support. We started using your search engine DNN trial, but our files are stored on a UNC, so that's not good. And it seems your spider can't crawl the repository. I think the second huge feature we need is crawler support by your search product to hit the document repository.<br><br>Other than those 2 glaring issues, we love the product! Good job!<br><br>-jasen

Hello Jasen,<br>thank you for your feedback.<br>We'd like to introduce drag and drop on documents in the future... nobody had asked so far so it was placed on hold.<br><br>We do have a fix for the unzip issue. Please write at info[@]xepient and we will forward you the revised .dll<br>
Folder level tracking    By decastro_michelle on 7/29/2008
The folder level tracking does not seem to work when I tested this feature. In general, I would like our users to be notified whenever new documents are uploaded to a specific directory. While testing I noticed that document level tracking works, but when I tried tracking at the folder level, I did not get any e-mail notifications for my test user accounts. Any ideas? Help! Thanks!

Hello Michelle,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I reviewed the logic in the module, and yes, there is something missing.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The &quot;track&quot; at folder level, only marks and unmarks the current documents for tracking, while it does not allow for tracking of new documents.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;To enable this functionality, an additional bit of coding is necessary in one of the stored procedures.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The current SP will need to be modified according to the code below (you can just cut and paste it over the existing SP, and remove the dnn_ prefix)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br>CREATE PROCEDURE dnn_xsdl_SelectDocumentTrack&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; @DocumentID int&lt;br&gt;AS&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; select distinct * from (<br><br>--select all users for this document<br><br>select da.DocumentID,<br> d.DocumentName,<br> f.FolderName,<br> u.Email as DNNUserEmail<br>from dnn_xsdl_DocumentTrack da<br> inner join dnn_xsdl_Document d on d.DocumentID = da.DocumentID<br> inner join dnn_Users u on u.UserID = da.DNNUserID<br> inner join dnn_xsdl_Folder f on f.FolderID = d.FolderID <br>where da.DocumentID = @DocumentID<br><br>union<br>-- select all users (at folder level) for this document <br>select d.DocumentID, <br> d.DocumentName,<br> f.FolderName,<br> u.Email as DNNUserEmail<br>from dnn_xsdl_Document d<br> inner join dnn_xsdl_FolderTrack ft on ft.FolderID = d.FolderID<br> inner join dnn_Users u on u.UserID = ft.DNNUserID<br> inner join dnn_xsdl_Folder f on f.FolderID = d.FolderID<br>where d.DocumentID = @DocumentID<br><br>) p GO&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;the side effect of such a modification is that all document changes will be reported for that folder, including ones that have been unmarked.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;please contact us through email for further discussion if need be.
Re: Open-DocumentLibrary v3.0 Released    By Anthony on 8/19/2008
Overall I, as well as my visitors, love the module. The only recurring request that I get is with regard to upload and download status. We are manipulating larger files (150-250MB) and it can take a little time. Is there any plan to include a status bar to indicate how much has been up/downloaded, how much is left to go, estimated time, etcetera?
Re: Open-DocumentLibrary v3.0 Released    By host on 8/19/2008
Hi Anthony, we will take your suggestion into consideration for the next major release. It seems like a very desireable feature.<br><br>Best Regards<br>
