Hello everyone,
We got a project where the client will need to upload pdf, doc, xls, ppt, zip, files and so on. Later, when creating a page entry will need to create links to this documents as easy as possible.
The documents may not be part of a whole ‘category’, meaning that calendar.zip will be used on page 1, and page 2 from different sections.
Doing some research found that some guys mention using Matrix but it seems to work better for a collection of documents.
Also, the client will need to have a way to create some sort of folder organization structure, like 2014>Calendars, 2014>Schedules, etc. Found Assets as well and seems to provide the admin panel we need.
The potential issue is that the link to the desired document will not be always a list, but a simple link in the paragraph of the text the user is creating. So, the creation of the link should be easily created from the text editor and not a field from the channel that populates a grid. Looks like Wygwam could work.
Do you guys have a suggested approach or set of add-ons that will recommend using instead?
The cost of the add-ons doesn’t sound bad at all (assets+wygwam) but I follow an advice from someone here in the forums about exploring EE built-in features before going crazy into extra add-ons.
Thanks for your time.
