ezFILEMANAGER v2 INSTALLATION & SUPPORT
ezFilemanager v2.5 has been released.
Finally I managed to find time and do some updates.
I expect to add more support documentations soon.
Thanks to community translations, ezFilemanager is Multilingual (English, Dutch, German, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish, Czech)

I have a small problem when running in sub folder as a doc root. I already set up path and url in config.inc to respect my sub folder as a doc root. All work except for ajax preview link (when you mouse over an icon for image) and link at insert icon. When i check tab_filebrowser.inc, i found that links above use breadcrumbs value to create relative url. Well, no wonder the links is not correct.
If you guys have same problem with me, just change your anchor and rel attribute value at tab_filebrowser.inc, just prefix it with SITE_URL constant and you good to go.
Also your hack will be overwitten when you rename a file

hi Naz,
What i mean is, if we put in http://localhost/ we dont need to hack anything, its work. But, if our application in http://localhost/subfolder/ the links that i mention earlier (including renaming a file) its become incorrect ( not working). Since the links its prefixed by value from breadcrumbs and it create a relative url, then browser simply put our server root - http://localhost/ - as a prefix not http://localhost/subfolder/. At this point im not quite sure why this happen. This is the steps what i do, assuming im working in http://localhost/subfolder/ as my application root. I change SITE_URL and ABSOLUT_PATH constant in config.inc, all simply suffix by /subfolder/. At this point i test it, it work for browsing but not for the links i mention above (including renaming file function). So, i prefixed anchor and rel attribute value at tab_filebrowser.inc with SITE_URL constant, i test it, and all links work and i can renaming file too.
Just change the UPLOAD_DIR (provided your ABSOLUTE_PATH) is correct.
e.g. the ABSOLUTE_PATH of localhost is /home/public_html/
Even if our application is in http://localhost/subfolder/ and media directory is in subfolder, then all you have to do is set UPLOAD_DIR to subfolder/media/ or whatever it is relative to the ABSOLUTE_PATH
And beleieve me, renaming will reset the rel and href back to without the SITE_URL after all I wrote the scripts : -)
In leave everything as it is and put the correct UPLOAD_DIR relative to your ABSOLUTE_PATH and it will work, unless I'm missing something fundamental

The problem she is having I ad and reported earlier, your paths are not the issue in the config file, no matter how you change the config it doesn't fix the image preview red x on mouseover.
in tab_filbrowser.inc.php on line 37 find this:
$insercell = "
this part ( href='/".$breadcrumbs ) makes the image link show up in the image preview show up as:
"http:/media/image_name.gif"
which creates the red x image not found error.
So changing the paths in config will not fix this.....
Please download v2.0.1a which addresses and hopefully fixes the issue you mentioned.
Let me know if you still have problems

Naz,
Sorry I missed the line number should be 47 not 37, the div class="view" line, seems to be the offender.

also I forgot this on, when in mouseover of the image, the tooltip says imge-Click for more info, when you do I get this in the bottom right corner of the fm, in stand alone mode in tinymce it's fine...
Notice: Use of undefined constant TXT_DIMENSION - assumed 'TXT_DIMENSION' in L:\htdocs\siteadmin\includes\functions.inc.php on line 873
Please download v2.0.1a which I released yesterday, I believe it will solve your problems, and you are getting the TXT_DIMENSION error because you are using an old version of langs/en.inc.php

Hi,
I am using the latest v2.0.1a and have the following issue:
My media folder is in a special subfolder out of the document root. UPLOAD_DIR and ABSOLUTE_PATH are correct defined. On the Startpage of exFM the "Home"-Button directs to the correct media-subfolder, but when you switch to the Upload-Screen, the Navigation-Bar includes also the whole paths to the document-root before the Home-Button! When you click on one, you get an Message-Screen "Access Denied" with no back Button.
Thank you for investigation!
Please send to naz[at]webnaz.net your config and mention your Server OS

I'm trying to implement file_browser_callback: "CustomFileBrowser",
And just nothing happens, I then created a function
function CustomFileBrowser (field_name, url, type, win) {
tinyMCE.activeEditor.windowManager.open({
file : '???',
title : 'Browse',
width : 650,
height : 440,
resizable : "yes",
scrollbars : "yes",
inline : "yes",
close_previous : "no"
}, {
window : win,
input : field_name
});
return false;
}
Now at least the popup is coming up but it can't find the file. How should I get this to work in Version2?
Open your page containing the tiny_mce editor
Add ez_tinyMCE.js to your tiny_mce page, make sure the path is correct
//This already exits
<script src="/YOUR-PATH-URL-TO/tiny_mce.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
//Add this
<script src="/YOUR-PATH-URL-TO/plugins/ezfilemanager/js/ez_tinyMCE.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
Regarding to your modification, I'm sorry but I cannot comment on custom modifications.

Thanks, my path was incorrect, and the popup is working now
Feb. 02, 2010
Getting the following error
Error: Cannot insert
"tiny_mce_popup.js" URL in ezfilemanager/index.php line 23 is wrong
In the exfilemanager/index.php my path is correctly defined
tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/tiny_mce_popup.js">
tinymce folder is in the docuemnt root. Did I perhaps leave somthing out?
Most definitely again your path is wrong, try entering the full URL of your tiny_mce_popup.js and make sure you are using the latest version of tiny_mce
Feb. 02, 2010
Me and paths, all I did is removed the $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] and it worked.
Thank you for this amazing plugin!!!!! It saved me alot of time and effort!
