FileManager/Article manager

[Terminator1138]

I'm looking for a way or easier way to do a project.

Either by use of a file manager or article system
What I need it to do is basically keep track of minutes and agendas for given months and years. For instance I need an area to create static agenda style content and keep it organized for members.

Any ideas or suggestions?

This is really not a plugin request persay....perhaps just someone have an idea for me to go about organizing it or have any ideas..

i dont know... but it sounds alot like movable type 2.66 before the wysiwyg editor and php -- its engine created date based static content but ran all from cgi
its an idea -- but not a solution for subdreamer... I'll try to think of something.

I have a similar need and am expecting the the new download manager will make it easier to create the solution. Will need to check it out. Currently I'm playing with an include file to load after a blank custom plugin. The include file is one that uses switch statements to call the appropriate static file. Didn't finish it since I decided to wait until the new plugin was available to see how the uploaded files would be written to disk.

Static files are in a directory named "content." Here's part of the included file:

<?php
switch ($thecategory['name']) {
case "boardmeeting":
* *include('content/boardmeeting.php');
* *break;
case "reports":
* *include('content/reports.php');
* *break;
default:
* *echo "";
* *break;
}
?>

This is not good a long term solution since each category name would need to be unique and if a category name were changed the names of the included files would need to be changed to match. Hopefully the new download manager will make it easier to turn the concept into reality.

If not, I will use a 3rd party file upload/download program I found and am using on a client's site, that with some modifications, would work quite nicely.

Yes, I'm also waiting for the new version of the download manager....
