Document management for Drupal 6?

Question

Hi there,

Can anyone tell me if there is a similar module for document management for Drupal 6 like docMan for Joomla? I want to be able to manage documents from one place (upload etc) and then be able to link to those documents from within a page.

Thanks in advance,

Ben

Answer 1

You don't need a module, you can do this simply by creating a node type for documents, then attaching a filefield to upload upload a document per node, and then using a module like Insert to link to the file from other nodes.

For listings of documents, use the views module.

There is also the webfilemanager module. http://drupal.org/project/webfm I've found this module to be quite handy for managing any kind of file. I allows for tree-like folder structures and is quite versatile.

A colleague of mine recently had nice things to say about fieldepot. He attended the recent Waterloo Region Drupal Users Group meeting and heard Blaine from Nextide speak to it.
