Suggestion for Auto Delete Setting.

[techandtips86]

Sir, Good Morning, I just saw you update. this file and released new version. I uploaded it. But I have suggestion for it. If you look after this matter, it will more useful.

1. Auto Delete setting should be on First Setup Page. (because of only who can edit auto delete setting , can create user id and password. you set this setting on upload page, in this page all user can edit it. (it is not necessary). At the first time when create user id and password, only this time can use or change auto delete setting.
2. When upload any file automatically shows a sharable link on this page. user can copy and send or share it. but this link in available when click download option.
3. Should be update with mail function.
4. Create a zip file. (As example i upload 5 files then when someone download it automatically create a zip files of 5 files and download as a zip file or make link as a shareable.

These are some good ideas

1: It's not a bad idea to add the "auto-delete" option to the setup page, but I should point out that the auto-delete setting works per-user. Meaning, if one user sets her auto-delete time to 10 days, that doesn't change the setting of the other user, who could have it disabled for themselves, or set to a different length.

I might add a separate "force auto-delete maximum for all users" setting available only to the Administrator user. That doesn't sound too bad

2: That's an easy change & a good idea; I'll add it

3: I don't think adding a mail() function is appropriate. If SimpleFS used PHP's built-in mail() function, most of those emails would end up in the recipient's Spam folder. Otherwise, we would have to include something like PHPMailer ( https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer ) & ask the user to enter details for an account and an SMTP server. This would bloat SimpleFS; the goal of SimpleFS is to be somewhat minimal, simple, and portable.

Besides, if the the 2nd change is made (showing the Download link immediately after uploading a file), it's easy enough for users to just copy and paste that link into an email themselves

4: Auto-creating zip files on "multi-file uploads" is a pretty good idea as well. I could see that being very convenient & useful.

I think I'll go ahead and make those changes & release it as version 2.1

Thanks very much for providing input -- suggestions might not be code, but they are valuable contributions to free & open-source software

Your suggestions #2 and #4 have now been added to SimpleFS version 2.1. I plan to re-work setup.php soon

SimpleFS now requires the php-zip module as well, to be able to create ZIP files. Version 2.1's setup.php will tell you whether the ZIP module is correctly installed
