My users have requested this, because we have several files, in different places on the server. As it is now they have to check each folder and sort by Date, but this is tedious when you have a lot of files/folders (also, they don't always know the names, so a search won't work). A quick overview on the front page of the latest modified (created) files and folders would be very helpful (!) If this isn't something that John would like to do, maybe I could get some pointers on how to do it myself? - Which Rumpus files to edit and if I need to make some kind of script. Thanks a lot for a great product, Regards Martin From John.Hemsley at rrd.com Wed May 19 04:14:04 2010 From: John.Hemsley at rrd.com (John.Hemsley at rrd.com) Date: Wed, 19 May 2010 12:14:04 +0100 Subject: [Rumpus-talk] John Hemsley is out of the office.

I'll call this "recentfiles.html", and will assume it's stored in the WFM templates folder for each access and delivery by Rumpus. First, you'll need a script that maintains the recentfiles snippet. I think an AppleScript would probably be best. I don't do much AppleScript, so I can't help with the script, but what it would do is prepend a new file entry to the recentfiles snippet, and remove the last one. You'd then need to use an embed tag, or more likely a short javascript, to load the recentfiles snippet and insert it into a specified place in the welcome window. I hope that helps!

John Rumpus 6.2.8 ------------ Added FTP control/data coordination checks to avoid problems dealing with mis-behaved FTP clients. When the Drag & Drop applet is used to fill a File Request, the default "Upload Complete" message is now displayed if the File Request "Upload Complete" message is left blank. Removed the "Detailed Help" text and link from the help box in a couple of languages that incorrectly included it. Clicking the "reset" button next to the "Rotating Ports" option on the Advanced tab of the FTP Settings window now corrects disables the option. A problem updating the files list on the "Active Users" window (and in FileWatch) has been corrected. SMTP usernames and passwords can now be up to 60 characters (up from 31). The Drop Ship "Begin Upload" button has been changed to "Send File" so that it makes sense when sending files already on the server, as well as those that first need to be uploaded.

I now have a script that automatically outputs a .txt file with the names of files recently added to the server (the last 5 days). I would like to display the contents of that text file in a "box" on the front page (not in the welcome pop-up, because it needs to be viewable all the time, when the user is logged in). Could you maybe tell me how to make this box? (I tried looking at the code but it's a bit confusing) :) If I get this to work I will share my results (and the script) here, so others can benefit.

I started working on this feature this morning. It turns out, FireFox 3.6 already supports a mechanism for doing this, and I was able to make it work in Rumpus with only an addition to one WFM template file. No change to the Rumpus server is even necessary. It's pretty cool... If you are running FireFox 3.6, you can just drag a file (or multiple files) into a Rumpus file listing, and up they go. No need even to click "Upload Files". No java applet. No security warning. The patch to the template file is easy to apply, and is described here: http://www.maxum.com/Rumpus/DnDinFF.html That page isn't linked, and is intended only for those on this list. If you try it, please report back on how it works for you. The new feature doesn't support folder uploads, and other drag & drop features (like downloading) are still being investigated. I'll be working more on this, and will post if/when improvements can be made via simple changes in Rumpus 6.2. Have fun!

I'm looking into alternatives... I wanted to post the FireFox solution, though, because it might be handy for some people. For outside users, you can't usually dictate the browser someone uses, but if you use the WFM interface in Rumpus to routinely upload files, using FireFox might be worthwhile.
