* Remove "small" class from inline edit form for documents * Swap relationeditor GridFieldConfig for record editor to ensure that document sets can be deleted from a page context rather than unlinked (natively) * Fix to ensure that related documents can be autocompleted via partial matching on filename * Add 2 space indentation rule to editorconfig for .js and .scss files
Document Management Module (DMS)
Overview
The module adds a new DMSDocument model which allows management of large amounts of files, and their relations to
pages. In contrast to the File model built into SilverStripe core, it aims to wrap storage and access concerns in
a generic API. This allows more fine-grained control over how the documents are managed and exposed through the website.
Additionally, documents are stored and managed as part of a page instead of away in a separate assets store.
Features
- Relation of documents to pages
- Relation of documents to other documents
- Management and upload of documents within a page context in the CMS
- Metadata management through the powerful
GridFieldandUploadFieldcore APIs - Download via SilverStripe controller (rather than filesystem URLs)
- Access control based on PHP logic, and page relations
- Replacement of existing files
- Tagging via the taxonomy module if installed
Documentation
For information on configuring and using this module, please see the documentation section.
