    Hi All,

    - scope of work: I’m looking for someone to add functionality to the Weblink section. I need a button or link that opens a browser to the Assets folder so that I can just click on the file I want to link to. Would be nice also if the location of the folder could be easily configured in the manager somewhere (this is not a necessity).

    - anticipated start time: asap.

    - anticipated job duration: no clue but asap.

    - budget constraints: would need an idea of cost but willing to pay reasonable amount.

    - payment terms: will pay a reasonable deposit to chosen programmer and will pay final amount when the work is done.

    - IP ownership constraints (e.g., can the work be donated back to the community): Can be used by community.

    Thanks,
    Crawford.

      Crawford Paul

      You could have a snippet that:
      1. browses your directory with the PDF’s in
      2.puts the file names into an array
      3. assembles the info into a web link format for the DB
      4.inserts all the info into the DB
      when you refreshed the tree in the manager all your new links should be there.
      Limitations are all the description fields, eg Title, Long title, alias etc. would be the file name (without the pdf extension).
      Let me know if this could work for you.
