At the core of any social network, are its resources. Resources, not just in global terms of users, but also in terms of content they own and use. We've thought long and hard on how to implement a simple, yet robust resource management, which is consistent through out your social site. The Tuiyo Resource management features ensure, that a user, throughout their experience on your site, never suffers from the issue of resource untracability, in other words Tuiyo never seperates a user from its resources. It suffices at this point therefore to define what we consider a Tuiyo resource.
A Tuiyo resource, is any element, content or property, provided to or by the community, for which a user has a direct relationship to (including ownership, or permission to use). This includes all photos, videos, audio files, archives, documents, links and web feeds.
All of such resources to which a user has a direct relationsip are accessible from the Resource Management (RM) page. From your dashboard, selec "Your Files and Resources". The RM page is shown in the screenshot below (Note: Minor changes depending on your version)
Getting familiar with the system uploader
The resource management page, displays the title, type and size of the resource, the date it was added or created, and also makes available quick previews for *some* resoureces. From the links in the top Tabs, you could select and download all your resources in one ZIP archive, This is strongly recommended before deleting your profile, as all resources are deleted when profiles are deleted. To preview a resource, click on the icon left to the resource title.
Notice the various type of content folders available through this page in the Directory Content column on your left. All resoureces that are uploaded via the system uploader are directly available for you to download, preview or delete from the community servers. An resource deleted from this page is universally deleted from the site. For example if a photo resource is part of an album, once deleted from this page, it will be removed from the album, and deleted from the site. It is important to note, that there is no trash can, or recycle bin, and once deleted it will no longer be available.
Uploading a resource
Uploading content to your community has never been so easy, with the intuitive system uploader, Upload all resource types using a single form; Upload multiple or single files at a go. It is however important to note at this stage, that some restrictions applies in terms of file names and sizes. File names should not be longer than 100 characters for obvious security reasons, and depending on the resource type, there might be max size restrictions imposed by the administrator from the admin backend. The screen shot below, shows the uploader in action
Downloading and Deleting Resources
To download resources, select the files you wish to download and hit the "Download selected files" tab at the top of the RM page. Tuiyo will compress this files into a ZIP archive which is then downloaded to your compture. All Downloads will include the original file submitted, together with any post modified files. The created archive will also be stored on the server (provided you are not deleting your profile) for future download. However we strongly recommend deleting either the created archive or the existing files as it might be detrimental to your space allowance (if at all any)
To delete, select the resources and hit the "Delete selected files"
Further considerations..
From popular demand, a resource indicators have been added to the dashboard, for users to quickly view how much allowance (if at all any they have left).
