Feature quiery.

[ayoub]

I have the following requirements and I would like to know which Joomla extension provides for them:

1) Service given to authorized login FRONTEND users only. Not intended for backend.
2) Each user will have a number of upload directories and a number of download directories.
3) User can only upload and download to/from directories assigned to him by the Joomla admin and is not aware of the existence of other directories.
4) User directories are not accessible by other users.
5) User uploads a file to any one of his upload directories.
6) A program on the server, that is not part of Joomla, will remove the uploaded file from the upload directory and processes it, then puts a new file into a corresponding download directory.
7) The user will be free to download the new file. Each of the upload directories is for a particular service and the result appears in the download directory associated with the particular service.
8) Upload directories accept files through drag and drop in, cut and paste in or a selection field. Once a file is placed in the upload field it cannot be removed by the user. An uploaded field can have other fields associated with it.
9) Download directories allow drag and drop out or cut and paste out. User cannot place anything in the download field.
10) Upload and download fields are preferred over directory tree; for easy association of non upload fields to upload fields without a workaround.
11) The backend outside of Joomla, written in C++, will remove files from the upload directories and place files in the download directories. Joomla and the backend C++ need to be notified of events.
12) No other non-Joomla provided extension feature is currently required and it should be possible to disable it. (No file management, viewer, editor, sharing etc.)
13) The server machine will most likely be a Linux machine with apache. Nginx or other engines will be considered if there is a compelling reason.
14) The website will be bi-lingual.

Hi, I think, you need to have specific feature extension created for your purposes directly. Really hard to say, if there is some extension in Joomla which can be used as base for your type of extension.

Is it appropriate to ask where should I go if Phoca is not interested?

Hi, unfortunately, I don't do custom extensions and I have never asked someone to do, so really no clue advice from me Maybe joomla.org forum.
