Joomlatools

Great job guys, looking forward to the new release. The new theme looks very nice also!

I’m really looking forward to seeing the new version in action. Thanks so much for the hard work in putting it together.

This is looking great! I love DOCMAN, use it at work and now with this update I will be using it with my personal website. Just going to have to wait until December 8th! :)

Awesome! Are there database changes to this or is it all code base?

All codebase changes. We have opted not to make any database changes to make the upgrade process as seamlessly as possible.

@Johan – Awesome! That’s perfect. I am currently updating an intranet Joomla install that has Docman in it (tens of thousands of items). Very large corp is using it on their internal intranet but they have a special form they use for creating the entries (they don’t use the standard Docman way)…so no DB changes is great news!

Great ! We are always interested in learning how we can make the user interface better, especially for people managing lot’s of documents.

Will there be any new features? such as the top ten requests?

To see the list of completed features you can check out our ideas tracker : http://ideas.joomlatools.eu/pages/10697-docman/filter/completed

The most important feature for the 1.5 release is the fact that it now runs natively in Joomla 1.5.

Hello! At Joomladay at Rome you promised that docman native for joomla 1.5. will be available at 1 dicember. Where I can download it? TNX!!

Unfortunately, due to our decision to include a brand new theme, we are postponing the release until December 8th, but it’s going to be worth the wait!

any chance on importing docs from rokdownloads from rockettheme?.. i used to use docman as my main doc manager back in the days of J1.0 but decided to stop ussing it cause i didnt want to use the legacy plugin, so some of my sites are using rokdownloads wich is not bad but.. its not docman!!!.. as simple as that XD

Thansk for your suggestion. We can definitely have a look at creating a Rokdownloads importer. If you need this immedialty you can send us a request for a quote (http://www.joomlatools.eu/services/request-a-quote.html) and we can have a look at building this for you.

Otherwise, you can add this request to our ideas and feature suggestions tracker here : http://ideas.joomlatools.eu/pages/docman if there is enough interest in the idea we will implement it in one of the upcoming releases.

wow, should i say that i love your responses!!!!… u guys definetly know what ur doing including the clients treatment part!!!.. always selling right ;)..

You are most welcome. Good support makes a good extension into an excellent extension. We are working on improving our support and communication with our users constantly and appreciate the feedback.

Waiting impatiently! Great work!

just a friendly reminder to someday add subdirectory support! Thousands of files in one single directory makes for incredibly painful management for admins and the filesystem. and please someday make replacement of files possible from the Document interface (more intuitive for search purposes). thanks!

Cant hardly wait – only four days though, I might be able to manage

Subdirectory support is high on our own wishlist. It’s definitely coming in DOCman 2.0, might also make in in a 1.x release.

Thanks for you patience. The team is putting in overhours to make this the best DOCman release yet!

Hello,

By “…we are postponing the release until December 8th…” do you mean DOCMAN 1.5 RC2 or the final 1.5 Stable Version.
I was about to install (today) a download manager solution on a Jomla 1.5 Site. I’m Really behind schedule on this but I would postpone until 8th December to checkout a 1.5 Stable Version (with a new theme – great!).

Also I was considering both Docman and one other solution. I much prefer Docman but the ‘other’ as one feature that is a big plus for my project:

*front end folders/categories where I can set the view, download etc.. permissions and just drop the documents there (they get the ‘folder’ permissions).*

I think DOCMAN works only on a document basis, this still might do but need to be sure I can have the website registered customer uploading and accessing documents specific to each customer (not even seeing that other customers or their documents exist). Can this be set up in DOCMAN?

Thanks

Vitor

2 days to go… :)

We mean the stable release offcourse. The RC2 went out to our testers a few days ago.

At the moment DOCman does indeed only work on a file basis. You can however set the global permissions that new documents should get.

DOCman has a very flexible plugin system that allows it to be used in almost any context and workflow. If the out of the box fetaures are not enough don’t hesitate to contact us (http://www.joomlatools.eu/services/request-a-quote.html) and we can see how we can help.

Thanks for reminding us ! Team is working hard, we need more coffee ! ;-)

From Brussels to Gent, not that far, how much cups do you need? GL and strength, thanks!

More then a few ! :)

I’ve never been so excited for a release of an extension before or followed it’s progress so closely. Best wishes tomorrow on a smooth rollout! Thank you for your time and effort.

Tim

Thanks Tim. Team is still cracking at it. Celebrating the release with a little extra surprise … :)

Can’t wait! I spent over an hour today looking for a way to avoid running legacy mode and just came across this thread. I’ll be up at the crack of dawn to check for the release.

Release pleassssse :)

Congrats for your good work by the way

We pushed the release with 24h. A few last minute issues popped up. Working hard to fix them.

Vitor,

I’m also working on a doc management site that is behind schedule – and have been looking forward to DocMan’s release. What is this other extension that you are working with, if I may ask?

John

Well, so much for the crack of dawn, but I guess it doesn’t matter anyway :-( Looking forward to the 24th then! Thanks for the great system. There’s definitely not a better document management system out there.

Sorry James ! We rather not rush out a release. It’ coming though. Rest assured.

When do you release now? 24 h or 24th of december?
thanks for working on it!

Hello,
Where is the new DocMan that is supposed to be released today? Were to download it?

Thanks!

James, thanks for asking. We have postponed the release with 24h to address a few last minute issues. Just a little more patience please :)

In 24 hours. We are getting very close.

merci de nous proposer cette nouvelle version. Je l’attends avec impatience la nouvelle version compatible J 1.5 pour la mettre en production immédiatement.
Bravo et merci
christophe

Hi John

This other solution was remository. But if I can configure DocMan to act the way I’ll need I’ll go with DocMan

Regards

Vitor

We are always interested to learn how we can make DOCman better. Feel free to discuss any ideas you have on our forums : http://forum.joomlatools.eu

Johan thanks for reply. I am checking for new version from work and now from can’t wait for the release :)))

Hi James, I’m happy to let you know that all systems are a go for launch tomorrow. First the team is going to get some much deserved sleep.

Nice! I thought the release was pushed to the 24th. Tomorrow is wonderful! (so I don’t have to spend the holiday working on my site – but probably will anyway :-)

Good Morning, I would like to thank the team behind the development of DOCman ^ ^

Then I would know when the new version will be available for download. Thanks and Merry Christmas!

PS: Sorry for my bad English XD
