On my site I need to have some basic document management where a user can upload a document (any type), set permissions on who can view it and have that document available on the website.. I have done something like this previously a few years ago using PHP when I made an image sharing website as part of my college course. To do this I had a database with a link to the images which could be called and were displayed in a page which got its data from the database.
I was wondering what the best way to do this in Umbraco would be. Would it be best to just make another database alongside the one used by Umbraco or is there a module available for something like this? Thanks
I have a Media protect package which allows you to protect media files for certain members. It works the same as content protection. I'm currently working on the manual and hoping to release next week,it will be a commercial package though. Price will be 99 euro per domain.
If you like I can send you the package already which you can run on your localhost.
I'm looking to spend as little as I can unless I absolutely have to and if I can get around costs then that would be better. Thanks for the information though and I hope your package is very successful
