---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- joomlaXplorer 1.2 - README ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This script is based on QuiXplorer 2.3.1 (available at http://quixplorer.sourceforge.net/). This is a Component for Use with Joomla! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Installation: 1. Download the latest version of joomlaXplorer from http://Joomla!forge.net/projects/joomlaXplorer/. 2. Login to Joomla!'s Administration Backend /administrator 3. Go to Components, Install/Uninstall. 4. Browse to the local com_joomlaXplorer_xx.tar.gz file and click on Upload File & Install. Done. You can now access joomlaXplorer through "Components" => "joomlaXplorer" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Changes to the original script: Global * PHP5 compatible * renamed index.php to admin.joomlaXplorer.php * changed configuration to automatically get Path- and URL - settings from the Joomla! environment * changed relative Image URLs to absolute URLs * Path Navigation at the top changed to direct clickable directory links * Changed Language Files to comply with Joomla! Language directives (en => english...) Security * added "defined( '_VALID_MOS' ) or die( 'Direct Access to this location is not allowed.' );" to all files * added "index.html" to all directories Layout * modified "styles/style.css" to comply with Joomla!'s admin.css * changed icons from 16x16 to 22x22 and from .gif to .png ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Facts, you should know of: * If you're running in trouble, because you don't have permissions to chmod() or write to files: That's a fact! You'll surely have uploaded those files, you wanted to operate on, via FTP! PHP doesn't allow chmod (Changing file permissions on *Nix Systems) when you're not the Owner of the file. And you can only become the Owner, when the Superuser changes the ownership of those files. * QuiXplorer is a multi-language Component (currently available in English, Dutch, German, French, Spanish and Russian) The Language is automatically picked from $mosConfig_lang. If you still have an english component, your language isn't supported. * QuiXplorer comes with an User Management feature. As Joomla! provides it's own framework, we don't need this Login / User Management Feature * Access to this component is restricted to Super Administrators by default. If you want to change this, edit the file header of "admin.joomlaXplorer.php" and change the following: **** if (!$acl->acl_check( 'administration', 'config', 'users', $my->usertype )) { mosRedirect( 'index2.php', _NOT_AUTH ); } **** to something different. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **** Continue with original QuiXplorer README **** ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Troubleshooting: * Some browsers (e.g. Konqueror) may want to save a download as index.php. To solve this, just supply the correct name when saving. * Internet Explorer may behave strangely when downloading files. If you open the php-file download, the real download window should open. * Mozilla may add the extension 'php' to a file being downloaded. Save as 'any file (*.*)' and remove the 'php' extension to get the proper name. (NOTE: for php-files, this extension is correct) * If you are unable to perform certain operations, try using an FTP-chmod to set the directories to 755 and the files to 644. * If you don't know the full name of a directory on your website, you can use a php-script containing '' to get it. * The Search Function uses PCRE regex syntax to search; though wildcards like * and ? should work (like with 'ls' on Linux), it may show unexpected behaviour. * User-management may logout unexpectedly or show other strange behaviour. This is due to a bug in PHP 4.1.2; we would advise you to upgrade to a higher version. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Users: * To enable user-authentication, set "require_login" to true in "_config/conf.php"; you should also set the path for the admin user in "_config/.htusers". * You can easily magage users using the "admin" section of QuiXplorer. * Standard, there is only one user, "admin", with password "pwd_admin"; you should change this password immediately. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Languages: * You can choose a default language by changing "language" in "_config/conf.php" (to "en", "de", "nl", "fr", "es" or "ru"). * When using user-authentication, users can select a language on login. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- adapted for Joomla!: Soeren Eberhardt original author: the QuiX project e-mail: quix@free.fr www: http://www.quix.tk, http://quixplorer.sourceforge.net ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
