One doc assigned to multipe folders - dgbaker - 02-08-2012
Would be nice to be able to assign/copy files to multiple folders. Sometimes content like documentation may be for multiple users but not the same folders.

This is basically what a soft link in unix is. In general it is a nice feature but it raises lots of questions, like whether it is a copy or just a reference and if is a reference whether all copies/references are equal and what happens if one reference is modified or deleted.

In the scenario I'm looking at is that only 1 person has access to modify the document in anyway. We have essentially a rules and regulations document that we want to show in multiple folders.
It can be a hard or soft link, either way works for this purpose. I know how to achieve it from a database level, but need an interface within DMS to do it properly. It would be an admin level only function in this case.

Just make a proposal on how the database tables need to be changed and how the API in LetoDMS_Core is supposed to behave. It doesn't have to be php-code.
