In some groups the files that are posted are very important. To support this, the Files list displays the files that have been posted recently on the Group page. It also supplies a link to the ATOM feed for the most-recent files.

The gs-group-messages-files-tab viewlet provides the space for a list of recently posted files, in the Secondary part of the Group page¹. An AJAX call is made by the JavaScript resource for the list, which is loaded after the other resources in the browser-window.

Each list item shows

• A square thumbnail, if the file is a photo,
• The file-name, and
• The topic name (linking to the topic).

The JavaScript resource gs-group-messages-files-js-20160201.js² loads the files from the page gs-group-messages-files-ajax.html in the Group context. It uses the GSSearch system to perform the search³.

The resource is added to the Group page by the gs-group-messages-files-script viewlet.

A link to the ATOM of all files posted to the group is provided by this product. It has the name gs-group-messages-files-link and relies on the viewlet manager providing the gs.group.home.interfaces.IGroupHomepageMetadata interface.
