File Manager

Post by dmzx »

Extension Name: File Manager

Author: dmzx

Extension Description:
Full ACP file manager: browse, edit, upload (incl. ZIP upload/extract), download, rename, delete, copy, move, compress and chmod files on the server without FTP.




- A board without the PHP zip extension now gets the reason when switching the extension on, instead of a general "requirements not met" message


- Install extensions and one-click updates check the ZIP first: an extension that needs a newer PHP or phpBB than this board runs (or a phpBB version it does not support yet) is no longer written to the ext/ folder. The page says why and nothing on the board is changed
- The extension itself checks the PHP and phpBB version before it can be switched on, with a clear message


- A file manager for the ACP: a folder tree, the file list, search by name and inside files, and two panels side by side with drag and drop to move or copy between them
- Edit files in the browser: find and replace, undo and redo, line commands, a kept draft, a view of your changes, a spell check, a translation view for language files and a comparison with a kept version
- Saving is checked: the file is parsed before it is written, the board is asked afterwards, and the previous version is put back at once when a page breaks
- Upload files and whole folders with drag and drop and a progress bar, upload and extract ZIPs, download a selection or a packaged extension
- Rename, copy, move, compress, change permissions (also recursively) and delete: deleted files go to a trash that keeps them from being read or run over the web
- Manage extensions on one page: switch on and off, delete data, install from a ZIP, update in one click, check the version, with a backup of the installed folder before an update and files an update no longer ships moved to the trash
- An activity log of every action and a view of recent changes
- Founders only

Extension Download:
…

Installation:
  1. Download the latest release.
  2. Unzip the downloaded release, and change the name of the folder to `filemanager`.
  3. In the `ext` directory of your phpBB board, create a new directory named `dmzx` (if it does not already exist).
  4. Copy the `filemanager` folder to `/ext/dmzx/` if done correctly, you'll have the main extension class at
    (your forum root)/ext/dmzx/filemanager/composer.json
  5. Navigate in the ACP to `Customise -> Manage extensions`
  6. Look for `File Manager` under the Disabled Extensions list, and click its `Enable` link.

Is this the modern version of the old “Extension Uploader” extension?
Feed like a disease
And bring them to their knees
They'll pay for their deceit
