Component body

This module adds a full featured file management API for your modules to use. This API is module development and does not directly add functionality to your site. This module is required for the attachment module which is an alternative to Drupal's included upload module.

Key Features

  • Simultaneous support of both public and private files. Your module can now decide to when to protect a file.
  • Support for large numbers of files. This module prevents one directory from having to many files which can cause problems managing the filesystem.
  • Duplicate file name support. Your module can manage the namespace instead of being forced to rename files and confusing users.
  • Disk space limits can be set by file area allowing different modules to have different limits.

UPDATED July 9th, 2007

I just took over as maintainer for this module. I've updated it to work with Drupal 5.1. My priority is to keep this module and Attachment updated to work with this and future Drupal releases (my next priority is to update to work with Drupal 6) so we can all continue using these great modules. I'll then look at any patches submitted next. Other issues, bugs, and features will be dealt with as I have time. If you have a pressing issue, submitting a patch will get it handled much quicker. :)

If anyone has specific comments on the future of this module, I'll be happy to listen.
