It appears this plugin is responsible for the following issue (with WP 5.5.3):

A PHP session was created by a session_start() function call. This interferes with REST API and loopback requests. The session should be closed by session_write_close() before making any HTTP requests.

Anyone else seen this?
Fixed it?

I am unable to find where to get price info about the pro-version of Document Management System developed by Brian E. Reifsnyder – and where I eventually can download it. Anybody?

Hi! I am about to purchase your plugin and pay for the Pro version as well. I checked the support forum and noticed that you have not replied to a single issue in the last 7 months. Before jumping on board with your plugin, I want to make sure that you do offer support.

Be in touch,

I installed this plugin and I have a couple of questions.

1. Is there a backend interface to this that is just for Admins? We do not need a front facing application. We want to manage documents in the backend vs. managing them in MEDIA LIBRARY.

2. Can I create unique URLs to each document via this plugin?

3. Is there versioning control?

Maybe this plugin is not the right fit for my needs but wanted to confirm before ruling it out.

Suggestions on any other plugins that meet the above requirements?

Installation appears to have worked and the DMS frame appears as expected on the relevant page. However, clicking on any of the controls in the frame (whether logged in or not) causes the frame to go completely blank.

It appears to be getting a blank response to an AJAX query. The server is running PHP 7.2 but the problem persists with PHP 5.6 as well which suggests that it isn’t a PHP 7.2 specific issue.

I have installed DMS and configured as requested. However, this is what I get every time “The DMS plugin is unable to write to the document repository at /fla_docs/docs”

I have changed permissions to 0755 and 0777 and nothing works.

Thank you

Hi
I have a group in Group Editor, “PBS Clients” with 14 users. It is now impossible to update the group as the update and exit buttons do not appear at the bottom of the All User List.

This problem doesn’t occur with other groups in the group editor. E.G. People Based Solutions Employees with 3 users the update and exit buttons appear at the bottom of the All User List , and new users can be added.

hallo

i can’t figure out the problem , could you help me for this problem ?
thanks

Hello Brian, first I really like this plug-in as it does most everything I expect a document manager to do. I’m not sure if you want to consider this a defect versus a change for a future release of DMS. What I noticed in the eMails that DMS sends when a folder has been updated is just the name of the current folder appears where the document was updated, instead of the full path of that folder. For example, I have a folder structure in DMS that looks like this:

Residences >> CLR_7093 >> Legal

If I place a document in the “Legal” folder, the eMail will look as follows:

The contents of a folder have changed:

Folder: Legal
Document: MX-3640N_20180222_130729.pdf

What I would have expected was the full path to the “Legal” Folder instead. So it should look like this:

Folder: Residences >> CLR_7093 >> Legal

Let me know if this is something that can be fixed in the future.

Thanks,
Jon

The fonts for folders and filenames don’t follow the theme fonts, they resemble times new roman. Is there a way to change the plugins fonts?

Hi
I am using DMPS Pro plug in to manage documents on my site.
With the arrival of GDPR in the UK and Europe, I want to be able to delete documents permanently from the site. At the moment, as I am the site admin, it shows the document or folder as struck out (there a line through the document or Folder), but I have the ability to restore the document or folder if I want.

I need to be able to permanently delete documents if I am required to do so.

Is there a way to do this?

Gday.. I have installed the plugin and created page, then gone to the Configuration Panel and I can see the Configuration and Diagnostic Button but clicking either leads to just refreshing the page back to Congfig Panel. I have changed themes, disabled plugins and to no avail.. Is there any hints you can give me to Config and get using this plugin, thanks.

Is this “searchable”? Is there a demo anywhere? We want something that will return Google type search results and to have it be able to pull data from PDF documents in the library….

Thinking of buying this but I need to ask something first. I need to know if the plugin can display who has downloaded a document. for example

let’s say we have a document called test.docx. Is there a place where I can see a list of who download it for example

test.docx has been downloaded by user1
test.docx has been downloaded by user2
test.docx has been downloaded by user3
etc?

Hello, from what I have read so far about DMS, I think it will do what I want but want to confirm a few things.

My site will have different types of documents that the user community can view, but I want the end user to click on different links to view a particular document. For example, there will be a link called “Meeting Minutes”. User clicks on that link and can view documents that are for meeting minutes.

My question is this…when configuring DMS, how should I group like documents together? Can DMS allow for the assignment of a category to each document so when the user makes that query for “Meeting Minutes”, only those docs display, or do the docs need to be placed in separate folders to do this type of query?

I did notice that someone posted a question creating links to a folder, and looks easy to do, but just wanted to see what is the best way to configure documents this way in DMS.

Thanks!

activated configuration. have tried creating a folder and uploading a document. it just loads back to the blank page with the configuration / exit button at the bottom of the page.

Hello,
Before purchasing the PRO version, I want to test the plugin for a website I will build for a client.

First good impressions, but my search return no results whatever I choose to find anything. Name or property or date (after, before).
I click on “search” and after a short blink I get the same page with the search fields and no results.

What did I missed ?

Best

Marc

There is nowhere to login to the DMS without creating a login to the entire site. What am I missing?

Hello!

I upgraded the version of the plugin yesterday and I’m getting a Warning and Fatal error when i try to use the plugin:

Warning: require_once(includes/i_dms_frame.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in…
Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required ‘includes/i_dms_frame.php’ (include_path=’.:/opt/php56/lib/php’) in …

I lose my folders and documents.

Waiting for your help

Hello,

I am building a Intranet site for my company with WP. For document sharing I’m using this DMS plugin for document sharing. We are sharing documents like company policies. Is it possible to keep track on who opened certain documents?
This way we can see if our employees opened the company policies documents.
Does the Pro edition log this?
If DMS doesn’t log this, is there a plugin who can?

Hi – I’ve set up groups (in the group editor) and assigned edit rights to a folder that contains subfolders and files.

When I log in as a test user (who is in such a group), I only see the folders where the rights were explicitly assigned to that group. But the folder that should contain many subfolders and files is displayed as empty.

And yes, the option to inherit permissions from parent folder is checked.

That’s quite a set-back, and I hope that it’s just a minor config problem.

Thanks

Before purchasing the PRO version, I want to find out if the plugin provides the functionality I am looking for (for a client). After installation & config, all I have is an empty folder (see screenshot https://ovo.li/X9v7Wl).

1) I have configured the root folder of the existing files on the web server, which are outside of the WP path, i.e.,

/home/client-name/public_html/folder/WordPress 4.8-Installation
/home/client-name/file-folder/root-folder/

That root-folder contains several sub-folders, which again contain sub-folders and files.

2) I can create a folder and upload a file, but I cannot find that file via FTP anywhere.

3) Diagnostics confirms that the file root folder I’ve configured is available.

4) Permissions on this root-folder and all sub-folders is 0755. File permissions within the sub-folders are 0644.

Anything I missed?

Thx for any help

Is there a way to add videos?

Is it possible to create a direct link to a DMS subdirectory?

I’m investigating this plugin for a group I’m part of. We already have a WP website so that’s not an issue. We haven’t tried the free version yet but if we like it we’ll want the Pro version for the additional documents and the versioning, etc.

Here are my questions:

1) I assume all users must have a WP user login, right? I’m wondering how complex that’ll be for non-WP users. Do they get a special user level that only gives them access to DMS and nothing else?

2) Can we also FTP to bulk-upload files into a directory structure to get started? We have a ton of documents.

3) Is the Pro fee a one-time or annual fee? If annual does it reduce after the initial purchase?

4) Are there any file-type limitations? We will store jpgs and other graphic images in addition to Word & PDF.

Thanks,
Sheila in Seattle

Hi there,
I am looking at buying the pro license. Before I do, I have a question.

We have around 25,000 users and 25,000 documents.

Each document needs to be set to be only accessible to its respective user. And, vice versa, each user needs to only see and have access to the document(s) related to them.

Does DMS provide any way to configure permissions for this? For instance, can I set up the permissions linking each user with his/her document(s) in a CSV file and import that data? Or is there some other way of going about it, other than manually and one-by-one setting the permissions on a per file basis?

Thanks…

Jonathan

Hello,

I have installed the plugin and am in the testing phase.

Unfortunately, the entire configuration dialogue is not showing when I select the configuration button.

It must be a conflict with the theme we are using or maybe a plugin. (I have tested it on the 2017 wordpress theme and it works fine so it must be a conflict)

Is there anyway of diagnosing or troubleshooting this issue? Could we get support to help us resolve this issue?

We like the plugin, just unable to configure it (we really need to set up the source folder,.. and the rest of the config options would be nice.)

Thank you,

Hi,

We are using DMS plugin for development and looking for buying DMS pro.

We have documents created in nodejs that need to be uploaded to dms programmatically.

I followed a suggestion given in the forum to use ‘file_import’ url but the url shows up with errors complaining of global being undeclared.

Only after visiting the DMS enabled page in WordPress allows further posts.

This is an issue since we will use only a rest client to post.

Any clues/pointers please?

All office documents were adding a – to file extensions. After updating the plugin it is now adding ‘ to every Microsoft extension. How can we get this resolved?

After upgrading to DMS Pro ver. 1.30 and DMS ver. 1.11, previously uploaded documents will not open. Internet Explorer 11 tab says “Waiting for Intranet.” However, when I upload a new document it works correct.
