Hi, i know this question sounds a little bit strange, but anyway..... To describe the content of a collection it would be a nice feature to link one specified file with that collection. By clicking on a 'Download' icon this collection file should be displayed or downloaded. Maybe you can think about that suggestion.... Thx. Holger

What is the use case for this? Can you describe a scenario where this would be useful? Peter

This optional 'collection' file could describe the content of the collection. I.e. we wanna use DMX to manage construction files (CAD,CAM,...) for our projects. There will be many different types of construction. Any type (=collection) holds many different files. But for the user it would be more comfortable if can just view a - let's say - one-site-document which describe the type to decide if this is helpfull for his construction. So the guy who manage a collection can describe the whole thing within one document (i.e. pdf file)

OK, I see that. It is not impossible to do, it's just that I want to think this over first as it could also push to 'feature overload'. It's on the wishlist without guarantee that it will make it to the core. Cheers, Peter

About Bring2mind

Bring2mind is the company of Peter Donker, a DotNetNuke enthusiast who has been involved with the platform from the very beginning. At the same time as the market for modules emerged, he realized there was no good document management solution for the platform yet and he set about creating this. In part he based the module on his experience with other document management systems he used while working as a researcher. His module, Document Exchange, was an instant success and has since become the premier document management solution for DotNetNuke. In 2004 he created Bring2mind as a vehicle for the module and is one of the few successful businesses solely based on a DotNetNuke product.
