eXtplorer 2 - README
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Requirements:
|
|
-------------------
|
|
* PHP > 5.3
|
|
|
|
Supported Browsers:
|
|
-------------------
|
|
* Internet Explorer >= 8.0
|
|
* Firefox >= 2
|
|
* Safari >= 4
|
|
* Google Chrome/Iron >= 3
|
|
* Konqueror (KDE > 4.0)
|
|
* Opera 10.5+
|
|
|
|
Opera and Konqueror don't allow custom Context Menus. Use Double Click on a record in the grid instead.
|
|
|
|
Installation as Standalone Script
|
|
-------------------
|
|
1. Unpack the Archive (where this README.txt is contained) to a local directory
|
|
2. Login to your server via FTP and create a subdirectory for eXtplorer
|
|
3. Upload all eXtplorer files from your computer into the subdirectory on the server
|
|
4. Browse to the URL http://<YOURSERVER>/<SUBDIRECTORY> and login. Remember to immediately change the admin password.
|
|
5. If you can't change your admin password, this is most likely because the user file is not writable. With your FTP program browse to
|
|
the eXtplorer directory /config and make the file ".htusers.php" writable (CHMOD 666).
|
|
|
|
Done.
|
|
|
|
Installation into Joomla!/Mambo:
|
|
-------------------
|
|
1. Login to Joomla!'s Administration Backend /administrator
|
|
2. Go to "Components", "Install/Uninstall".
|
|
3. Browse to the file "com_eXtplorer_xx.tar.gz" on your computer and click on "Upload File & Install".
|
|
|
|
Done.
|
|
You can now access eXtplorer through "Components" => "eXtplorer"

eXtplorer is based on QuiXplorer 2.3.1 (available at http://quixplorer.sourceforge.net/).
|
|
|
|
eXtplorer makes use of the fabulous ExtJS Javascript Library by Jack Slocum, Ext JS, LCC (http://extjs.com/), and that does indeed explain
|
|
the name eXtplorer.
|
|
Please note that ExtJS is released under the terms of the GNU General Public license version 3 (GPL v3). Because the MPL and
|
|
the GPL are not compliant to each other, you are not allowed to use the ExtJS library in eXtplorer if you decide to use and/or distribute eXtplorer
|
|
under the terms of the MPL.

|
|
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! Switch to FTP mode (or file mode if you're in ftp mode)
|
|
* eXtplorer is a multi-language Script.
|
|
The Language is automatically picked from the browser (or from the global language in Joomla!/Mambo)
|
|
|
|
* eXtplorer comes with an User Management feature. As Joomla!/Mambo have their own framework, User Management isn't
|
|
available in non-standalone mode.
|
|
* All users must login to access eXtplorer. You can allow visitors to view files by creating a "guest" account with "View" permissions.
|
|
|
|
* In Joomla!/Mambo the access to this script is restricted to Super Administrators by default. If you want to change this,
|
|
edit the file header of "admin.extplorer.php" and change the following:
|
|
****
|
|
if (!$acl->acl_check( 'administration', 'config', 'users', $my->usertype )) {
|
|
mosRedirect( 'index2.php', _NOT_AUTH );
|
|
}
|
|
****
|
|
to something different.
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
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 '<?php echo getcwd(); ?>' 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:
|
|
* You can easily magage users using the "admin" section of eXtplorer.
|
|
* Standard, there is only one user: "admin", with password "admin";
|
|
you should change this password immediately.
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Languages:
|
|
* Users can select one of all available languages on login.
