LG File Manager - Add a custom Moxicode File Manager Field Type

Thanks from me too Victor - making that change did the trick.

This looks AWESOME. But I’m wondering if there is a max file size for uploading? I want to be able to upload large mp3 and FLV files without using FTP.

Arty,

You should be able to change the default upload size in the config.php file by looking for this line:

$mcFileManagerConfig['upload.maxsize'] = "10MB";

More information here.

hey thanks savant. Yeah I saw that but that can be modified…

To tell you the truth, I’m not that familiar with moxicode’s file manager. All I’m looking for is a simple way for non-tech savvy clients to upload a large file– a process a la “SWFUpload” would be great (simple browse icon and a progress bar)- but if not no biggie.

Im on a dedicated so i can tweak php.ini. But what are the consequences of increasing the max upload size (http)? Will the impact scale based on how many clients are uploading huge files?

Don’t take what I say as gospel - I’m more of a front-end developer than a server guru - but here are my thoughts:

FileManager is a pretty intuitive interface for managing files, and to my knowledge you can adjust the php.ini file and FM’s config.php to accept as large of a file size as you want. If you haven’t already tried the FileManager demo, you should.

I think the potential bad consequences of giving your client a large max file size are bandwidth-related. It seems logical to me that the impact would scale with larger numbers of clients uploading larger files.

This is a brilliant extension. You need to pay for the MCImagemanager, but this provides in a simple image upload and solves all kind of issues at the same time, like automatic image resizing while uploading, file management, etc! You can dump all other (headache) image add-ons!

PS: wouldn’t it be even better if this extension worked with tinybrowser? Had a go at it, but couldn’t get it working

OK, a bit too quick, still a slight headache 😉

MCImagemanager inserts the following code directly into the field:

/images/uploads/image123.jpg

How can I get it to insert the img tag around it:

/images/uploads/image123.jpg

I guess I’d have to set that in the config file of MCimagemanager, but can’t find anythnig appropriate.

EDIT: I know I can wrap the tag around the field in the template, but users should be able to move the image codeline to other fields as well.

LG ImageManager and LG FileManager would make excellent FieldFrame Fields. Any possibility?

Is it possible to make an LG Image Manager field work on an SAEF form?
