3 DESCRIPTION
4 -----------
5 Provides WebDAV access to Drupal's taxonomies and files.
6
7 FEATURES
8 --------
9 * Unified authentication and access controls: just use your Drupal user name
10 and password to login to DAV, too.
11 * Exports taxonomy vocabularies as top-level DAV collections, and
12 taxonomy terms (aka categories) as DAV sub-collections (aka folders).
13 * Exports file nodes as DAV resources. Currently supports only the 'file'
14 content type provided by file.module.
15 * Allows drag-and-drop upload of files, with automatic file node creation
16 and association with the taxonomy term the file was dropped onto.
17 * Allows in-place renames or deletions of folders (taxonomy terms).
18 * Allows in-place modifications to existing files.
19 * Allows copying/moving folders and files both within the mounted DAV
20 hierarchy as well as to/from the local file system.
21 * The web display of a DAV collection index is entirely themeable.
22 * Integrates with the OG Vocabulary module, if installed, to restrict access
23 to only vocabularies in those groups the user is subscribed to, as well as
24 to associate files with the proper group when they are associated with
25 taxonomy terms belonging to that group.
26
27 INSTALLATION
28 ------------
29 Please refer to the accompanying file INSTALL.txt for installation
30 requirements and instructions.
31
32 LIMITATIONS
33 -----------
34 * Taxonomy-based DAV collections have the current date as their creation and
35 last modification date, since no other date information is stored for
36 taxonomy terms in Drupal.
37 * Files can't be copied or moved into the root collection or the first-level
38 collections, since nodes can't be associated directly with vocabularies.
