I'm exploring the file-tree plugin now, that allows us at least to group files in folders in different levels:

http://community.elgg.org/pg/plugins/project/655971/developer/jeabakker/file-tree

I would still need to solve the issue of versioning: at least to being able to substitute a file without changing its URL although version handling would be even better...

I'll let you know about my advancements!

Thanks for the info, DhrupDeScoop!

"Versioning" ? - depends on whether you want to able to simply overlay an older version of a File with newer or want to keep more than one version (power!). Both will require some extra coding to be done and the 2nd will be much more effort. I know that someone somewhere has coded the 1st sometime last year or so..

The 1st would be very easy to do. Just attach annotations on a 'update' event.

The 2nd is my challenge now. I would like to keep the older version of the file. My approach I think would be to get the content of an old file and create a new file entity, which is disabled for normal view, but enabled for a versioning view.

Will report back in a week or so...
