Re: filesystem browser with cakephp
perfect, thank you very much. that's just the answer i was looking for. i've new to mvc architecture, so i wasn't sure how i would go about something like this, but this makes absolute sense thanks, fedya On Feb 16, 6:25 am, Langdon Stevenson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Fedya I have written basic file handling features for a couple of projects now. It's not difficult, and Cake doesn't really matter here. It's just PHP. Cake provides the vehicle for delivering the views. You put all of your PHP file manipulating code in your controller. It is that simple. Regards, Langdon I'm not trying to make anything complicated. I won't need file permissions or anything, I will however want to authenticate to view the files. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Cake PHP group.

Re: filesystem browser with cakephp
Seb, I'm not trying to make anything complicated. I won't need file permissions or anything, I will however want to authenticate to view the files. What I'm trying to understand is how I would implement such a thing in CakePHP. For example, I could use opendir() and list all the files. All the tutorials I've seen deal mainly with displaying database data. I guess what I'm asking is if it's possible to integrate PHP's abilities into a CakePHP application in this case file system functions. Are there any tutorials for non-database applications of CakePHP? (I know I can write a simple filesystem browser using just PHP; I'm trying to understand how to use the filesystem for a CakePHP application I want to build soon, which is why I'm trying to learn it.)

I've implemented the MoxieCode FileManager (not free but cheap, and very well integrated with free tinyMCE) before and I know there are other good ones out there (the one you mentioned seems nice too). Basically you want file creation, rename, zip/unzip, resize/crop images maybe, move, and so on. Basically, it's a matter of configuring the manager properly. Most of the work is done in a view. the manager is quite simply iframed. I have however tweaked bits and pieces in the controler in order for the security with the filemanager to be seemless and still strong. I have no clue how that *afb* is secured though. The implementation I'm talking about even have different security groups, so that if the user is in a specific group, I render on configuration, disallowing for instance file deletion. Hope this helps! Seb.
