Feature/resource manager

Fix #3708

[ashishpd]

Hi Everyone - This PR is coming from DNN Corp. We are open sourcing a new module to be used in the DNN Platform named Resource Manager. This module has a modern way to manage folder and files in DNN. The feature-set matches that of Digital Asset Management with some limitations. The PR has been approved for submission by DNN's CEO, Andy Tryba.

Enjoy!

@valadas @bdukes How do we want to manage this? Accept the PR as-is and submit follow-on PR's for missing features/enhancements?

I'm seeing some verbiage and things that I'd like to clean up. For example, the spelling of Behavior is using the European styling and I would prefer to match current styles etc.

I think the main problem now is it is not building which will block other PRs if we merge it as is and need more time to make it build...

I would maybe:

1. Create a feature branch for it
2. On that branch, fix the build
3. On that branch adjust the manifest so it is locked with 9.7.0 version but the same name as the current one (so it can be an in place replacement)
4. Ensure the build scripts package it as .resources instead of .zip
5. Then we merge it on develop and continue working on it from there.

That will allow us to have it live on develop and be an optional replacement for people who are happy with it as it stands, then we can improve it and when we get feature parity (folder settings and stuff) it will simply replace our old one by default just by removing the old one and adjusting our build scripts to package it as a zip

Ok, what's the best way to do that?

• Branch off of develop now
• Rebase this PR to that new branch
• Approve the PR?

Then continue working?

[valadas]

Hmm, let me merge the latest changes from 9.6.0 into develop, release 9.6.0 and then we branch a feuture branch, sounds good?

I just made changes to fix the items mentioned by @valadas, waiting for the CI building result.

[valadas]

Awesome, thanks @ash @zyhfish @mitchelsellers

I just created a branch for it called feature/resource-manager so we can work on that in isolation (pun intended). It fired up a new build but should be the same thing. I need to go to bed, approving and ready to merge as soon as built.

[valadas]

Looks good to me, we should merge this and then do small PRs bring it to feature parity and iron out any wrinkles.
