Talk:File system repository

Humm, good ideas and instructions here. Need to figure out what goes where and page naming for this new feature.

This is probably a good overall page, we probably can use a Template:Repositories that includes

• Repository overview
• Manage repositories This is the equal to an activity's Add/edit page
• Common repository settings (This page??)
  • Server files(I think these things pop up on the site admin Plugin> Repository list if turned on.
  • Recent files
  • Upload a file
  • Private files
  • Other Standard repositories
  • Create a repository

This page and the template is for a site administrator but it will impact File picker.

Chris, thanks as always for your contributions. However, I'm not following your chain of thought here. Please note that File system repository configuration provides instructions for administrators needing to configure a file system repository. As far as I know, the instructions are complete! Also, I don't think we need a separate Manage repositories page in addition to Repositories. Let's try and keep things as simple as possible on one page! --Helen Foster 21:48, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

I know you like it simple but I am too thick headed to see simple straight away :) My thinking was the site admin will get to plugins>respositories. Then they are going to see "Manage repositories" and a list of all the repositories that happen to be active. So by my logic, this page should be called "Manage repositories" since that is the the language of the schema. Alternatively, in a very round about way I was thinking if we wanted to keep with the language of on the teachers side of the interface, what administrators were doing was "add/edit repositories" (where as the usual activity button for this says something different). That expands a bit on my logic.

What ever you think is best will always work for me. We can change it later:) --Chris collman 22:38, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
