README

This version should work with PHP 7.2 and SilverStripe 3.7

Provides an additional Files admin area in the CMS in parallel with the CMS' standard Files admin area. It allows for some "advanced" file and folder features as follows:

Features

1. Individual permissions to files and folders using the CMS' standard security system
2. Embargo and expiry on individual files and folders
3. Individual access to the Advanced Assets CMS admin
4. Integrates with the Subsites module

Note: 1. and 2. (above) need to be explicitly enabled. See the "Options" section below.

Compatibility

If installed alongside the standard "Secured Files" module, the latter's features and access will be disabled.

Options

The module's features have been broadly broken into 2 components; Embargo / Expiry and Security. Each of these components are able to be individually enabled or disabled via the standard SilverStripe YML configuration system and are disabled by default. To enable them:

AdvancedAssetsFilesSiteConfig:
  component_security_enabled: true
  component_embargoexpiry_enabled: true
