[geeklog-devel] Filemanager integration

Nope I know of no others. If it is still being developed and you feel it is
the best option then I do not have any problems (unless someone else has
another option)

>> I don't think it necessary to make Filemanager a Geeklog plugin, but it
is easy to enable/disable and/or do access control over it.

I didn't mean an actual Geeklog plugin. I am not sure how the file manager
is integrated (is it directly integrated into the editor or does Geeklog act
as a go between) but if possible make it like the editors and easy for
someone to add a different "File Manager" if they want. As I said this may
not be possible or worth doing...

>> I am not sure.  If it is necessary to do so, Filemanager can be made to
work with FCKeditor and/or tinyMCE, though.

You should maybe try to see if you can get it working with the FCKEditor as
I have a feeling that Geeklog 2.1.0 will be shipping with it. This way the
framework will be in place for the File Manger to be used by different
editors. (ie someone may update Geeklog with the tinyMCE editor and way want
to incorporate the File Manager we already have)

>>Filemanager is originally implemented as an HTML file and I changed it

I hate to see 2 versions of jQuery ship with Geeklog but if it is the best
way to go then go ahead. Will the File Manager be fairly easy to upgrade
when a new version comes out?

Filemanager is working now with CKEditor on my PC and my website.

Free file browsers I know include Filemanager, KCFinder, and elFinder. 
Filemanager is mature and is being developed now, while the other two seem
to stop developing.  If you know other options, please tell us.

I don't think it necessary to make Filemanager a Geeklog plugin, but it is
easy to enable/disable and/or do access control over it.

I am not sure.  If it is necessary to do so, Filemanager can be made to work
with FCKeditor and/or tinyMCE, though.

As Dirk said, it is compatible with GLPv2.

Filemanager is originally implemented as an HTML file and I changed it into
a PHP file to add access control and dynamic configuration.  So I don't use
Geeklog template engine or COM_createHTMLDocument().  Thus, I use
jQuery-1.8.3 shipped with Filemanager.
