RubberDoc - The easy way to manage docs
RubberDoc is a joomla component built collaboratively by rmdStudio, Peerglobe Technology and JenTekk Solutions. It is a lightweight, flexible and easy-to-use document manager that lets Joomla users to easily manage and embed document within the articles.
- Effortless document management. It’s very easy to create documents. Simply click on the new button and fill out the document details and then attach the document file and save.
- Categorize documents by assigning them to different Joomla categories.
- Protect the documents by assigning different access levels such as public, registered and special.
- Embed documents anywhere within the articles using the special tags {docs} doc-name-1,doc-name-2 {/docs} or embed all the documents belonging to one category by typing {docs category=”category-alias”}
- Create many documents at once by using the multiple file upload features.
You can download this extension from Joomla extension repository. If you have any questions or issues with this extension you can either post it here and I will address them or check out rmdstudio’s blog for the official RubberDoc support.

I tried installing Rubberdoc this evening on my Joomla 1.5 site and have been unsuccessful. I can get into the component, but I can not upload anything. Any attempt to open the document manager generates the following error…
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting
T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ‘}’ in /home/craigdou/
public_html/harrisburgbic/administrator/components/com_rubberdoc/controllers/doc.php on line 19
I have verified that my host is using PHP 5.2.6. and I have read the instructions multiple times. I’m certain I have carried out everything as instructed. Please help as I would really like to use this component as it sounds very promising.

Why does RubberDoc append .html to all of the documents?

To clarify my previous post:
When I download image.jpg it downloads as image.jpg.html

Hi Olof
There is another zip file within the package that you download. That is the actual rubberdoc package. Use that instead.

Never mind, I corrected the problem, I installed DocMan, it works perfectly.

Thank you for the service. One more question. I dont get the hang of this syntax.
Embeding article’s links into the Articles
You can have as many of them within an Article. Simply add either:
* {docs}document-one-here, document-two-here, document-three-here {/docs}
* {docs}media, developing-personal-leadership, communication-techniques{/docs}
Wher sholuld I place it, In the HTML of the article?? Cant make it work.
July 13th, 2008 at 6:07 pm
@John - you are not using PHP5
July 13th, 2008 at 6:09 pm
@Olf - you don’t have to put the syntax in the html, put it straight in the wyiwyg editor.

my installation of RubberDoc is working almost perfect. The only thing that does not work is with SEO. Please give me support on that issue.

@Hi
Which version of rubberdoc are you using ? because the latest version 0.9.5 should work fine with SEO.
Is your Joomla SEO configuration working fine ?
July 15th, 2008 at 11:28 am
@hi - could you give us a link please?
July 15th, 2008 at 12:22 pm
Sorry but I have to be a total morone, still dont get the syntax right, what is the “document-one-here” tryed both doc titel and alias. Dont work, what more???
July 15th, 2008 at 12:40 pm
Sorry got it all working now. Had forgott to activate the document, sorry.
July 15th, 2008 at 12:49 pm
@olf - lets say you have two documents with aliases as
doc-1-alias and doc-2-alias. In order to add those documents to an article, in your wysiwyg editor you type
{docs}doc-1-alias, doc-2-alias{/docs}
if you the documents belong to a category with alias doc-cat-1 you can add all those documents within that category by typing
{docs category=”doc-cat-1″}
let me know this helped

Hi,
just installed RubberDoc and realised that this is the perfect download-plugin that I was looking for.
BUT: It doesn´t work. When I choose a document I always receive a 500 (Anzeige nicht gefunden [Name, Typ, Präfix]: doc,html,rubberdocView) Error page.
The URL looks like this: http://www.myurl.com/cms/mycategory/doc/2/raw.html
When I delete the raw.html at the end of the URL everything is fine. Is this a known bug and how can I get rid of it?
I use SEO-friedly URL´s and got PHP 5.2.5 running as CGI.

just downloaded RubberDoc via extensions.joomla.org
version 0.9.5
unzipped the package so I can see a component, module, html, license and a readme file.
I’ve got an error while installing the component. (Joomla 1.5.6)
Error! Could not find an XML setup file in the package.
Then I tried to decrompress the com zip file and uploaded it to the tmp directory. After that I tried to install it from the directory. That worked. RubberDoc is installed but not using the common way.
kind regards.

I have set Maximum Size (in bytes) in global coniguration, and in rubberdoc i see [ Max 0M size ], but when i try to upload file bigger than 10MB, i got Error Saving Document error.
THX.

Great extension… the only thing I miss is more information in the content for the download, like date added , size eg.
kind regards

Sorry guys we’ve been so busy with other stuff that we couldn’t spend time giving support for the RubberDoc for a while.
I would really appreciate if anybody who solved his issues to post the solutions here so others with the same case can benefit from them.
I will be going to through the post and answer them later.
Maybe we should start a discussion board instead of a blog.

Hi, I installed Rubberdoc, loaded up files and in the backend all is working fine. I made even a .xml-file for translation with Joomfish.
In the frontend, categories and files show up normally. BUT after cklicking on a file for download, I get the message “404 - Page Not Found” - what is going wrong?
August 26th, 2008 at 12:50 pm
“Maybe we should start a discussion board instead of a blog.”
Yes, this is a very good idea.
My intention is to change from remository to rubberdoc and I could contribute with a German and a Spanish translation. - But someone should help me to resolve my problem.

Hi,
I’m a fond user of RubberDoc and look forward to it going from strength to strength! I just installed the most recent version though (0.9.6) and put several documents in a category. Fine!
But when I came to list the documents using:
{docs category=”category-here”}
They were in alphabetical order! How can I get them listed in the same order as they appear in the ‘Manage Documents’ page?
Thanks!
Dave.

@Friedrich
Thanks for your wonderful comment, Right now we are swamped with client works. But we are doing our best to maintain our open source projects.
We are planning to move rubberdoc to google code so we can get other developers involved. Please check back with us later
