Unable to enable public links

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It seems i am unable to enable "enable_public_links" TRUE.
Even if i have set the value to TRUE, the option does not appear on the pop-up 
action list under the "Add to dropbox" list.
I can't figure out whats wrong.

Public links were replaced with Share plugin in version 1.8.6.1 
(http://code.google.com/p/mollify/wiki/ChangeLog). Is there some wiki that says 
public links exist?

Ah, that was my bad, i didn't notice that for some reason. It was a good 
feature tho, to have it quickly accessible under the pop-up menu. Using Share 
plugin makes you do a lot of clicks etc. Also i remember that option was in 
previous versions of Mollify, but yes, i completely missed the changelog. I am 
sorry for that.

No problem, I was just curious if I forgot to update some page.

You have a point there that it is somewhat more trickier to access it, but once 
I have the time to add the options I have planned (password, expiration etc), I 
think the old way was just too simple. Of course, I'm open to any ideas on how 
to improve this concept.

At some point I was thinking to add quick menu directly in the file list that 
would open the actions menu. Of course this "share" action could be there as 
well.

I'm sure you will figure out a convenient way to add the "quick public link 
copy" menu action to somewhere in the action menu.
By the way i love the way of how you made the public linking system, i mean the 
core system, that i can move around the linked file under the folders wherever 
i want and the public link still works. Haven't seen it anywhere else.

I do have a small idea that would perhaps make things easier. To add "Copy link 
to clipboard" button. It would be rather small change i think and hopefully not 
hard to do, but it would really simplify things and make them a lot faster. 
Sometimes when copying link in a hurry, there could be many weird things that 
could happen and i.e only half the link gets copied.

Also item link expiration is a good idea, i don't know how you can do this tho. 
With a cron job perhaps, but under windows cron is not working. Perhaps there 
are other methods to do this, just in case pointing out this one. By the way, 
item (file itself) expiration would also be a really good thing to have.

Also i was thinking, since the share plugin is pretty important plugin, then 
perhaps move the option completely under the pop-up menu, where the old "Get 
public link" option was.
P.S now i remember why i got so confused about the previous issue i had (the 
share plugin replaced the "get public link" option). Under the Mollify's 
official demo page, the option is still there and i looked it up, saw it and 
was wondering what the hell happened with mine, completely ignoring the 
changelog (missed it). I should really RTFM more, but you know how it is, 
manual is the last thing people look.

Pointing out a small issue with the "Share" plugin i have, nothing critical, 
but perhaps confusing to some users. When i have previously made the public 
share with the plugin and got the link on the menu, when trying to delete the 
link under it, it does nothing when pressing the delete button, even tho it 
will be gone if you open up the share plugin on the file again. So perhaps just 
some refresh issue or something. Anyway nothing much to be worried about, 
doesn't bother me or my users, could be one of those windows bugs again.

Copy to clipboard added in 1.8.6.2, as well as quick menu for accessing the 
shares quickly.

Clipboard needs ZeroClipboard lib:

1) add reference to js

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" 
src="client/include/ZeroClipboard.js"></script>

2) add clipboard initialization right before mollify.init

ZeroClipboard.setMoviePath('client/include/ZeroClipboard.swf');
