File Upload in Folder View

Has anyone found or used something that can organize uploaded files into folders that the user can click to open and view the files (uploads) in that folder.  The reason I ask is I have a client that upload meeting minutes to a page.  Over the years, it's just one long list of file links.  They would like it to be organized by at lease each year's minutes instead of one long list.

I know there are things our there, but I would like to keep it integrated with CMS Builder for managing the uploads.

Thanks

Jerry,

Thanks for the suggestion.  Based on what you shared, I may try the multi record editor and then use Bootstrap Accordions to group the years for the uploads.

Thanks!

Hi Phil,

Could you follow up with how you finally accomplish this?

Thanks,

Sure.  It may be a while as I have some other projects, but I'll post what I did and how.

Hi Phil,

If I am understanding correctly (my favorite phrase before answering my spouse's questions), you could provide pre-determined searches and attach them to buttons/links on the html/php pages.  For example, I have a client that has a LOT of faq pages. These faqs do have different audiences and different categories. So a pre-determined search for faqs created for doctors (audience is #2) might have the url of

https://greatwebsite.com/faqs.php?audience=2

and clicking on the link/button brings up the faqs only relegated to that audience.  I hope that helps in some way. It saves my clients a lot of hassle and uses cmsb's built-in functionality without customized solutions.
