Requirements

LG File Manager is an ExpressionEngine extension and has been tested on ExpressionEngine 1.6.1.

LG File Manager also requires Moxiecode File Manager PHP

Installation

The LG File Manager extension contains an extension folder and a language file. To install the extension follow the instructions below:

1. Download the latest version of the extension
2. Extract the .zip file to your desktop
3. Copy the extensions/ext.lg_file_manager.php directory to your /system/extensions directory
4. Copy the language/english/lang.lg_file_manager.php file to your /system/languages/english directory

LG File Manager does not include a copy of Moxiecode File Manager or TinyMCE. It will need to be purchased/downloaded from the developer.

Activation

This extension has no special activation requirements. To activate:

1. Log in to your sites administration
2. Open the Extensions Manager
3. Enable Extensions if not already enabled
4. Enable the extension
5. Configure the extension settings

Configuration

The LG File Manager extension includes only one setting.

1. Script Folder Path

Script Folder Path [required]

/scripts/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/filemanager/js/

By default LG File Manager assumes the location of mcfilemanager.js is /scripts/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/filemanager/js/.

If you are using Moxiecode File Manager as a standalone file browser you may need to change this path.

Configuration options for Moxiecode File Manager can be found in the developers documentation.
