Extension: MOC Fileshare Manager (Extension key: moc_filemanager)
Version: 0.8.0
Description: A collection of front end plugins for filesharing based of TYPO3 group permissions.
Author of the tutorial: Agentur MUC-CMS (10/2005)
The extension was installed and modified with TYPO3 Version 3.8.0.
This tutorial represents maybe just one way to get the filemanager working.
Step 1:
Install the extension moc_filemanager using the extension manager ("Import extensions from online repository"...). At the end of the installation don't set any flag at [SuperRoot] and [AutoDirCreation]. Just leave it as it is.
Step 2:
Choose the module Filelist and create a new subfolder in fileadmin.
Example name: Filesharing. That's where the files will be stored.
Step 3:
Create a new SysFolder in the pagetree (= New Site, Type: SysFolder).
Example name: Filesharing
Advice: The same name as in Step 2 helps you to keep the overview in case you want to install more MOC Filemanager in one website.
Step 4:
Click on the just created SysFolder and create a new record of the type Mount points.
- Fill in a Name for the mountpoint.
Example name: Share (can be changed later) - Relative path: Fill in the name of the folder created in Step 2.
In this tutorial only the word Filesharing. - Set the read and write permissions: Public or specific usergroups.
Note: The name of the mountpoint (Share) will be displayed in the FE as the name of the top directory!
Step 5:
If not yet done: Create a new page in the pagetree (Type: Standard) on which the MOC Fileshare Manager ought to run. Example Name: Documents Marketing
On this page insert the plugin Filebrowser (Explorer).
-> New Content -> General Plugin -> Plugin: Filebrowser (Explorer)
Plugin Options:
- Mode: View
- Select mountpoints from: Pages (startingpoint)
- Startingpoint (= Ausgangspunkt): The SysFolder created in Step 3
Annotation: The mode "Directory browser", which only displays directories without content, and the mode "Upload only", which only provides the upload-function, are not treated in this tutorial. Just check them out by yourself.
Step 6:
Choose the module Template, open the Constant Editor and select the
Category PLUGIN.FILEMANAGER (13).
Documentroot = fileadmin (only this word, no absolute path etc.)
That's it!
By the way: Depending on your needs the MOC Fileshare Manager can be implemented on a website as often as you want. Imagineable are sections such as "Documents Marketing", "Documents PR", "Documents Meetings" etc. Just repeat Step 2 to 5 (using different names).
