PloneExFile is a Plone product that provides a new content type to which you can add an attachment file.
Besides being a new content type for Plone, it also serves as an example of how to integrate the
ZAttachmentAttribute product within your own content types.
A function to have a quick preview of the attached file is also integrated,
so you can see in your browser what your text,MS-Word, MS-Excel ... is containing.
PloneExFile has been designed by the Ingeniweb team.
It is released under an Open-Source license (GPL licence).
PloneExFile
You need choose to add a PloneExFile in a Plone folder. This will open the edit form, can choose a local file as an attachment, and provide a comment on it. You click on the save button, and the PloneExFile view is showing a download link for the attachment file and its comment.
When you are in view mode, at the bottom of the page you can see the preview of the content of the attached file. If it the preview is too long
a link proposes you to check the preview in a popup window.
PloneExFile is shipped as a tarball for Plone.
See The Ingeniweb Projects for more information.
