Error trying to get to DMS page

Hello,

PHP 7 no longer has support for mysql_connect() as it has been replaced with mysqli. I’ll release version 1.01 within the next day that fixes this problem.

Best Regards,

Hello,

I just uploaded version 1.01 which should fix this problem. If any more problems develop, please feel free to e-mail me at [email protected]

Marking topic as resolved.

1.01 didn’t fix the problem. I updated the plug in and restarted apache. Still get this.

I am downloading a copy of CentOS7 to install in a virtual machine and try to duplicate the problem.

I created a VM with CentOS7 and it appears to be shipped with PHP 5.4.16. LAMP is fully up and functioning. WordPress is installed and the dms module is not showing any errors at this time.

I am now researching how to upgrade this installation to PHP 7.

CentOS7 is upgraded to PHP 7 and appears to be running properly. I found the bug and have it fixed in the development environment. I hope to have the update out within a couple days after I am satisfied that the free version of the DMS Plugin is working properly.

I just uploaded version 1.02 and it should fix the problem.

Thanks I can see it now!!!

All I can see is the Search box and then the Item box says Empty. How am I suppose to add a document? Where do I configure who can add documents? Please let me know. Thanks!

Hello,

Normally, users won’t add documents to the very root of the document management system. You’ll want to click on the “Create Folder” icon and create some folders. Then, you can either assign user permissions to the folders or create groups, assign users to the groups, then assign group permissions to the folders.

Once the proper permissions are added, users can go into the folders and click on the “Import Document” icon. Then, they can upload the documents.

I don’t have a “Create Folder” icon. Is this suppose to be on the page I created or in the admin area somewhere?

The “Create Folder” icon will be on the page you need to create as per instruction #3, below.

#3

Create a new page for the DMS through the ‘Pages’ menu in WordPress.

#4
Place the shortcode ‘[document_management_system]’ on the page created in number 3, above.

#5
In the Appearance/Menus screen add the DMS page to the menu of your choice.

#6
Navigate to the DMS page. If there are any messages, resolve them on the server. They can usually be resolved by ensuring that the DMS Plugin can write to the locations in the message. This is done by ensuring that the web server can write to these locations.

#7
[VERY IMPORTANT] Click on the “Configure” Button at the bottom of the screen. You can either make configuration changes here or exit this screen and the system will be ready for use. This step is critical as some settings are automatically set and DMS module will not function without it.

This page appears – Create a new page for the DMS through the ‘Pages’ menu in WordPress. but all it has on it is the Search box, a box that says Top in it and a box that says Item: Empty. No buttons!

Hello,

Please e-mail me at [email protected] and send me a screenshot so I can see what page you are on.
