Installation instructions for Joomla 1.0.7

MCFileManager requires the following to be pre installed on your web server.

• Apache 1.3+, IIS 4 or other web server capable of running PHP
• PHP 4.3+ script language used by the MCFileManager.
• Joomla 1.0.7 Joomla CMS System.

On windows you could use WinZip or something similar. And on other operating systems such as Linux you simply extract the archive with the tar command. You can find a example on how to extract the archived file on Linux below.

Extract the contents of the zip/tgz to the <joomla installation dir>/mambots/editors/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins directory.

Extract example using a shell:

$ cd <joomla installation dir>/mambots/editors/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins
$ gzip -d MCFileManager_x_x.tar.gz
$ tar xvf MCFileManager_x_x.tar

Rename the config.php.joomla in <joomla installation dir>/mambots/editors/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/filemanager to "config.php". This file is a contains the basic configuration for Joomla.

Add the filemanager in the <joomla installation dir>/mambots/editors/tinymce.php file as a plugin to the list of TinyMCE plugins. In other words it should look like this:

plugins : "filemanager, advlink, advimage, $plugins ",

Ones you have finished the installation a "browse" button should appear in the link and image dialogs, this button will popup the filemanager in a separate window. The next step after installation is probably to configure the MCFileManager for your needs, check the configuration reference for details.
