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 includes/tiny_mce/plugins directory located in your PHP Nuke installation.

Extract example using a shell:

$ cd wwwroot/phpnuke/includes/tiny_mce/plugins
$ gzip -d MCFileManager_x_x.tar.gz
$ tar xvf MCFileManager_x_x.tar

Replace the "config.php" file with "config.php.phpnuke" these files are located in the "includes/tiny_mce/plugins/filemanager" directory. The "config.php.phpnuke" is a predefined configuration that integrates with PHP Nuke, you may need to modify this file if you have specific needs consult the configuration section of this manual for details.

Modify the $advanced_editor option in PHPNuke global configuration file located in <phpnuke installation dir>/config.php. Set the value of this property to 1 this will switch the editor instances within PHP Nuke to a more advanced state.

Modify the <phpnuke installation dir>/includes/javascript.php file and add the filemanager to the list of plugins.

Replace the the "fileBrowserCallBack" value of the file_browser_callback option with "mcFileManager.filebrowserCallBack".

Note that we didn't build PHP Nuke so it's not our fault that this is a somewhat tricky process.

Modify the all relative image paths in the CSS file so they point to the correct images for example replace all "../images/" with "../../../includes/tiny_mce/themes/advanced/images/buttons.gif".
