With Moodle, when you are the teacher, you can share files with your students.
You can also ask students to upload an exercice on Moodle.
How can you enable file sharing and colaboration between students ?
We have, for instance, to work together on some files likes images and blender files that we would like to work on together.
Some people are using Dropbox, but we need to guarantee the security of files and an integration with Moodle.
Thanks for your help.
Did you already have a look to the File Sharing Block? I haven't tried it myself.
Also, unless you plan to write your own block/module, this question should belong to Super User.

is it possible to use different user_uploads by page tree in TYPO3 9+?
Informations:
Multiple companies are using the same TYPO3 instance for their websites.
Example #1:
An editor is placing images in a content element on a page of a page tree with drag'n'drop. Normally the files would be uploaded to the user_upload folder. If you have a huge amount of backend editors the user_upload folder will be a mass in a short time and nobody feels responsible for the files. I know that you can see if a file is used by its references in the info section but it would be much easier if a company would have its own user_upload directory (maybe subfolder of it).
Did anyone faced the same problem an has a solution for this?
Thanks in advance!
I think you should configure your user groups and their users in such a way that they use the correct storage. you can read about it here:

I'm thinking about how to extend RT (and also with the IR extension, but I don't think this makes a difference) in regards to retrieving files from external sources (e.g. sftp) and adding them as attachments to tickets. I'm asking for suggestions of how I might go about this, as I've not used RT much and never programmed in Perl before.
I'm thinking of adding an input and button in the ticket to allow the user to provide a unique ID for the file and for them to be able to click when they want to retrieve the file from the external source, so not an automatic retrieval, unless it only does it once.
I'm thinking of creating a MakeClicky (http://requesttracker.wikia.com/wiki/MakeClicky) which creates a link to a cgi script (something like 'getfile(abc.txt)'), providing the ticket ID and the UID for the file. This script would then retrieve the file and post it as a comment/reply to the ticket. A couple of things to ask:
Are comments and replies to tickets really the only way to add an attachment? I read this somewhere but cant find the source now
How would I modify the existing ticket from a cgi script? Its on the same host, would I still need to use the REST api? Or can I just import the RT modules and add a attachment/comment/reply with the attachment without using the REST api?
The other option would be to create a scrip for on create/comment/reply that would search the contents of the ticket for an identifier for the file, retrieve the file and attach it.
I'm open to suggestions, unless one of these is a good way to do it!
TIA!
I have to solve the following task for our university homepage:
Whenever a pdf is requested the user has to accept a license, which pops up.
On Agree the download starts. If not, no download is possible.
I searched through the extensions but did not find any extension doing the job. Maybe you know one...
So I tried to implement my own extension. Taking the strengths of securelinks (Allows access control to files from a configurable directory ... presents a license acceptation prior to download) and naw_securedl ("Secure Download": Apply TYPO3 access rights to ALL file assets (PDFs, TGZs or JPGs etc. - configurable) - protect them from direct access.) I wanted to combine both extensions to have one that:
whenever a pdf file is requested (naw_securedl)
a license is shown and in case of ACCEPT a redirect to the file happens (securelinks).
This task sounds very easy, since I only have to combine both tasks. Anyway, I failed.
How do you solve this problem?
Do you know some extension doing the job?
Is anyone interested in a cooperation in which we try to create an extension thats doing the job?
Thanks for your help in advance!
Assuming that all donwloads are stored in one folder, I'd recommend writing your own little extension that replaces every link with a link to an intermediate site, like this:
www.mydomain.com/acceptlicense.html?downloadfile=myhighqualitycontent.pdf.
On the accept license page, users need to check the accept license checkbox, then click a submit button, which leads them to the download page, still carrying the GET parameter:
www.mydomain.com/download.html?downloadfile=myhighqualitycontent.pdf.
If not all files are in the same folder, you can replace slashes in the file path with other characters (they need to work in the URL). Or you might need a database table that indexes the files, so you can use IDs for the download files:
www.mydomain.com/acceptlicense.html?downloadfileID=99
If you don't know at all how to write TYPO3 extensions, consider using individual php/html files out of the TYPO3 context.
I am doing some updates to a site I have developed over the last few years. It has grown rather erratically (I tried to plan ahead, but with this site it has taken some odd turns).
Anyway, the site has a community blog ( blog.domain.com - used to be domainblog.com) ) and users with personal areas ( user1.domain.com, user2.domain.com, etc ).
The personal areas have standard page content that the user can use, or add snippets of text to partially customize. Now the owner wants the users to be able to create their own content.
Everything is done up to using a file browser.
I need a browser that will allow me to do the following:
the browser needs to be able to browse the common files at blog.domain.com/files and the user files at user_x.domain.com/files
the browser will also need to be able to differentiate between the two and generate the appropriate image url.
of course, the browser access to the user files will need to be dynamic and only show those files particular to the user (along with the common files)
I also need to be able to set a file size for images
the admin area is in a different directory than either the blog or the user subdomains.
general directory structure
--webdir--
|--client --
|--clientsite--
|--blog (blog.domain.com)
|--sites--
|--main site (domain.com)
|--admin (admin.domain.com)
|--users--
|--user1 (user1.domain.com)
|--user2 (user2.domain.com)
...etc.
I have tried several different browsers and using symlinks but the browsers don't seem to be able to follow them. I am also having trouble even setting them to use a directory that isn't the default.
what browser would you recommend? what would I need to customize to make it work.
TIA
ok, since I have not had any responses to this question, I guess I will have to do a work around and then see about writing a custom file browser down the road.
I would like my admins to be able to upload files to the website. And I need to give those files some meta data so we can filter and display related files on the frontend. Can someone offer me a good workaround to do this?
I myself have struggled with this for many weeks. I can create a new taxonomy structure and with it a view to manage all the content or I can work with existing modules (but they don't meet my expectations).
Are there hooks available to "hack" into the filebrowser, so we can select the display of files on tags?
Check out http://drupal.org/project/media and http://drupal.org/project/file_entity Media has views integration and file_entity makes files fieldable.
