Yea, there's no right or wrong way to do it.  So you need to weigh the cost of data re-entry, time to redevelop it, and the impact on the various requirements of the project.  

Good luck and let me know if you have any other questions or there's anything else we can help with.  Cheers!

I haven't looked through the code or schemas, but a really clean way to set this up (if it's possible) is to have a single section that allows one upload per record, so it might look like this:

Section: Documents

• Name - Name or document 
• Upload - Allows 1 upload only
• Public - [x]  Checkbox
• Private - [x] Checkbox

Then it makes it really easy to sort and display files.  Note that you don't need a checkbox for "both" since you can test for (public && private).  Also, if all documents are public by default you could just use a checkbox for private, showing only non-private documents in the public section and all documents in the private section (perhaps with an image beside private-only) documents.

Depends on the needs of the project but there's some ideas for it.

Hope that helps!

Are all the documents for each record all set to the same status?

I have a bit of a problem.  I am trying to figure out the best way to implement the following:

1. the client site has a page (controlled by WebsiteMembership plugin) which list public documents and private documents;
2. currently, I have created two multi-record editors, one to control public documents and the other private documents.

This works great!

The problem is that some documents are both public & private, and I am trying to avoid having the client upload the documents twice, once for each area.

The editors are defined as follows:

1. Group Title
2. Filename (includes document title - info1).  No maximum uploads.

I was thinking of adding 3 check boxes (Public, Private, Both) and based on which is checked, publish to those areas.... won't work, as that would not work at the document level, only at the Group level.

Any ideas?
