Document Management System

Simply an implementation of a few different modules, but for some reason it took me some time to figure out. Hope it helps someone.

Basically I needed to enable clients to register, log in, upload files, and not see other user's files. The admin could obviously log into the control panel and retrieve any files they wanted.

Like I said, just an implementation; the functionality's already there. Not spelled out all the way, which is why I wrote the post.

thanks for this, timmahoney!  I will save your procedure for future reference.  Like you say, it's nothing magical, but you laid it out very clearly...

Hi Excellent post. Thanks for the tip

I am actually looking for something along the lines of the above but I want the admin to be able to upload the files and the user to be able to retrive them from the file space that only they can access.

Do you have any ideas how I could go about this?

FEU+SelfRegistration+CustomContent and the Uploads module.

Read the docs, read the tutorials, and smarty... it will work, it's already being done.

I'm trying to do this but how do you make a page require a login to be viewed.

this is very simple to do with FrontEndUsers and CustomContent modules.  For a complete explanation of protecting content, see this document:

Or just read the module Help files.  It's all in there.
