Forum OpenACS Development: Re: Blog This button for file-storage

Collapse
Posted by Nick Carroll on
Ok, so I thought about how I might add the "Blog This" functionality to file-storage. I will need to create a service contract for file-storage called "extendedItemOptions". So for each implementation there will be an additional column in the file-storage UI that shows that extra functionality.

So if I implemented the service contract for the blogger, then a "Blog This" button will appear next to every file item. If I chose to implement "Email This", then a second column will appear next to the file item. The button or link will then take me to a page that takes an email address and message, and the file is attached and emailed out.

What does everyone think? I'm trying to find a flexible way for extending file-storage so that it can integrate with other OpenACS applications.
