How to allow users to have their own folder

With current version

1. Setup /connectors/php/filemanager.php file to set dynamically your folder path with session var, for example.

session_start();
require_once('BaseHelper.php');

$fm = BaseHelper::getInstance();

$folderPath = '/userfiles/' . $_SESSION['userfoldername'] . '/';
$fm->setFileRoot($folderPath, true);

$fm->handleRequest();

The second argument in the getInstance() method specifies whether to create folder if it doesn't exists

Don't forget to redefined the auth() function, see example below:

function auth() {
   // You can insert your own code over here to check if the user is authorised.
   if(isset($_SESSION['isAllowed'])) return true;
   return false;
}

Note that if serverRoot is set to true in "filemanager.config.json". $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] will be added automatically to the given var.

2. Then, open your "scripts/filemanager.config.json", and make sure the fileRoot is set to '/';

3. that's all!

Note that you may use baseUrl to retrieve the right path to files, see also issue #339.

With version <= 0.8

1. Go to the file where you are calling the script from and create your user session (unique id or name), and store in a session, eg. $_SESSION['userfoldername']

2. Open your connection file, for example: filemanager.config.php and find the line that looks like: $config['doc_root'] = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . 'assets/userfiles/user1'; Now, 'user1' should be flexible, so replace above line with something like the following: $config['doc_root'] = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/assets/userfiles/' . $_SESSION['userfoldername'];

3. Then, open your scripts/filemanager.config.js, and make sure the fileRoot looks like: var fileRoot = '/';

4. Don't forget to add _start() to filemanager.php!

5. that's all!
