Users manual

Adminstration

The extension is installed by downloading it from the repository and activating it in the extension manager.

Before you start using the extension you must change the settings of the extension in the extension manager:

Home directory: This can be set to the absolute path to your home directory on the server. On Windows this could e.g. be c:\apache\htdocs\quickstart
Note: as of version 1.5 it's no longer nescessary to set this parameter. The module will work out of the box. You only need to set this parameter if you need to access files outside the root of your TYPO3 installation.

Home URL: The URL corresponding with the Home directory (e.g. http://localhost/quickstart). This should be set to ensure that filelinks in the backend are working properly.

Note: as of version 1.5 it's no longer nescessary to set this parameter. If this parameter is not set, the module will try to determine your Home URL by it self.

Show hidden files: (Works only on linux) Check this option if you don't want files starting with '.' to be displayed.

No access: Files matching this pattern will not be accessible. Use perl-style expressions (PCRE).

Textarea height: Set this to change the height of the textarea when you're editing ascii files.

Editable file extensions: Set this pattern to control which file extensions that will be editable.

Configuration

Known problems

This extension should be used with cause on webservers sharing multiple typo3 installations as it allows backend users with admin rights to browse the files and folders of the entire webserver not limited to their own home directory.

To-Do list

New function: execution of shell commands in current directory

Changelog

First public release

Added this manual and updated some local lang files.
