Thank’s for the component it’s very helpfull
Andreas,
Thanks for TinyDoc and this module. They’re a perfectly simple and functional solution. I have one big problem though. The module parameters don’t include folder or description for me. This makes it all kind of useless, but this is obviously not intended behavior. Any advice?
Dankeschön!
Works great, except:
{loadposition my_unique_position} in an article
e.g. {loadposition centerpos-22}
What should come up here?
Nothing happens at my site (blank, not even the {loadposition xx) text.)
Regards, Julie
The {loadposition …} should have been replaced by the output of the module.
Please check that the module is enabled and that there are no typos in the name of the position.
Hope this helps!
Dear Andreas,
This is a brilliant module and I only have two suggestions;
1. It would be useful to be able to sort Folders by order to enable the user to place them in the order he wants, rather than by date or name, etc.
2. It would be useful if sub-folders appeared under their primary folder name in hierarchal order.
Best wishes,
David
Hi Andreas,
I would like to work with tinyDoc but would need to be able to search through the documents managed with it – is that possible or upcoming?
Best,
Martin
Right now, a search function is not available but might be included in a future release.
Hi I’ve just tested it and would love to also see manual ordering in the module.
Hi,
thanks for the suggestion. Adding manual ordering will be quite some work to do but might be added in a future release.
Hi Andreas,
Looks like a great component (and module). But before installing I wondered if it includes the functionality to link a main menu item direct to a file too. I guess that are work arounds such as using external link and linking to the file directly. But I was hoping an inbuilt solution may offer a better url path.
Hi Sonia,
using the current 0.3 release, an external link is indeed the only way to link a menu item to a file. The feature will be added to the upcoming 0.4 release of the tinyDoc component which should be out in a few days. Thanks for the suggestion!
