Mattermost File List

Hi there!,

I'm glad that my project piqued your attention but I have to be honest:

Since version 5.35.0 of Mattermost, an official file list functionality is already built-in. Because of that, this plugin doesn't really make sense anymore, so I'd recommend not installing it and just updating your server to the latest version. Maybe I'll think of some additional useful features in the future, but I don't have an opportunity to work with Mattermost very often, so it may take some time.

I appreciate all of the stars on Github, I really do.

Cheers,

Mike, the dev

Adds a paged, searchable and sortable file list to each channel and team. You can open the channel file list through a button in the top panel. The team file list is available above channel list, but it has to be first enabled in the plugin settings. Admins can additionally access a list of all files from all channels, even where they are not a member.

Through the list you can obtain public or normal links to the files, open and delete entire posts.

How to install

1. Grab the latest .tar.gz archive from Releases.
2. Follow standard Mattermost plugin installation procedure (either install it through the web system console or directly by extracting it to /plugins/ folder).
3. Remember to check out plugin settings for additonal features!

How to develop

This projects uses Docker containers to build, so you don't have to install any dependencies other than Docker. Simply run docker-build.ps1 (on *nix systems you need Powershell) and the project will be built inside an autmatically configured temporary container. The container caches entire GOPATH inside .docker_cache directory, so it should be fast and dependencies won't be redownloaded everytime you run the build. Have fun :)

Optionally you can also pass -withPreview which will spin up the mattermost-preview instance (if it's not running) and deploy the plugin to it.

Troubleshooting

1. Error uploading plugin

If you are using a suported platform, can upload other plugins but still receive an error trying to upload this one, check the Maximum File Size setting in Mattermost's configuration as mentioned in:
