Thanks for this Troex. Looks far superior to any file manager on the web. Cant get it to work on my server though. Says invalid file format when I upload. Also does the SQL extention work. Many thanks for this. I appreciate your hard work.

Its ok its working now. I used the git hub repository which did not work, the standard download is ok.It is superb. Once again thanks for this. In the connector I changed the path to c: and it actually picked up the whole of my hard drive. It is instant and about 5 times faster than even microsoft explorer on my machine.

ps I noticed the sql settings. Do they work. Is this something I can work on.

To use mysql you have to create database, run MySQLStorage.sql on it, insert record for root dir, and configure driver smth like this

'driver' => 'MySQL',
'path' => 1, // root dir ID
'user' => 'dbuser',
'pass' => 'pass',
'db' => 'dbname',

Thanks for reply. I tried and it didnt work. Where abouts do I configure driver. Is it in connector.php. I previously put details in the elfinder sql class. I am not sure what you mean about root directory. You have path as 1. Hope you can help.

You have path as 1. Hope you can help.

In elfinder_files table you must insert one record for root directory - this record ID is a root path in config

Thanks Dimitry but still no joy. I really want to get this working. I have the following tables in sql. (Do you have a demo sql file with record included?).

I have the following in SQL. What would I need to add.

id
parent_id
name
content
size
mtime
mime
width
height

in connector config i have

'driver'        => 'LocalFileSystem',   // driver for accessing file system (REQUIRED)
            'path'          => '../files/',         // path to files (REQUIRED)
            'URL'           => dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) . '/../files/', // URL to files (REQUIRED)
            'accessControl' => 'access'             // disable and hide dot starting files (OPTIONAL)

under the mysql class I have

$opts = array(
'host' => 'localhost',
'user' => 'root',
'pass' => 'mypassword',
'db' => 'elfinder',
'port' => null,
'socket' => null,
'files_table' => 'elfinder_file',
'tmbPath' => '',
'tmpPath' => ''
);
These are all the changes I have added. Am i missing something obvious. I really appreciate if you can help.

Dont touch mysql class!
Use options
Here live example from my machine

$opts = array(
    'locale' => 'en_US.UTF-8',

You need to init every root in elfinder in separate options member

Hi Dmitry. Thanks for reply. Im bit confused and still having problems. I am not sure how to init every root in elfinder. Is there an sql dump so I could see how it looks from the database. I am really keen to get this working. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I think mistake is here

Thanks

elFinder 2.x is different, see the docs https://github.com/Studio-42/elFinder/wiki/Integration-with-elRTE-1.x

Ohh.. good news. Anything about accents? I have some problems uploading files with accents and I know other people with the same problem.

Thanks for the work!

https://github.com/Studio-42/elFinder/blob/2.x/php/elFinderVolumeDriver.class.php#L213 see this connector option

Tanks good editor
