Feature Request: Browser based search of eBox file server

[mlanner]

Hello,

I've installed a couple of eBoxes as file servers. They work great! Thank you so much for an awesome product.

A feature that would be of great value on a file server would be a browser based search interface from which you can search the content of selected directories on the eBox. I know Beagle has a web interface.

I've (somewhat) successfully installed and configured Beagle Web Interface once on Ubuntu a while back. I got it to index and search my home directory, but no other directories. (Probably just my lack of understanding of how to modify the configuration to expand it to other directories.) However, since I'm not a programmer I'm not sure what effort would have to go into integrating the Beagle Web Interface into eBox, but I think it would be of tremendous value as an add-on module in the eBox platform.

If others are interested in this functionality, I'm willing to start a bounty for integrating Beagle Web Interface, or any other functionally equivalent module, into eBox. If you have an interest, please respond to this thread and indicate your interest and/or with ideas you might have.

This will definitely a very nice feature for eBox.

Hope it will be available soon...

Tnx

I hope this will be implemented in the following manner:

This may actually reach further than CIFS/SMB if the CIFS/SMB browser is a
generic one used elsewhere.

When the "..." button is pressed behind the "Path" box, a browser window
opens. That window seems to allow the user to drill into directories, but
I don't see how to move back up a level if I drill in too far.

In the same browser, I'd like to see a way to add a new subdirectory or
folder in the current directory.

Lastly,I'd suggest that the user be warned if the path for the share doesn't (yet) exist.

Hope this request be heard.

Well, you can already have your shares accessible via http. I would prefer FTP for doing such things, and stick with http for specific downloads (http://ebox-server/~user/file.zip), of course without directory listing...

WOW! Just finished testing thit software... What a great tool, thanks for sharing this!

PS: you need to install smbcliente, smbfs and after that, you need to type the following command (the program calls a late version of smbmout, known as smbmnt, therefore you have to do this in order to trick the system):

ln -s /usb/bin/smbmount /usr/bin/smbmnt

I'm trying tu give a web access to my users with sslbridge but in vain at the moment.
Using Zentyal 2.2.5 and sslbridge 1.5.

I always have this message "You have not entered a valid login.  Please return to the login screen and try to authenticate again.  If this error persists contact your network administrator."

Please help !
Thank you
