instantiate Session class outside of EE

Some tips that helped me for any future readers:

Name this file ext.moxie_code_auth.php

I couldn’t get the username/password box to go away until I changed the $_sess_name variable to ‘isLoggedIn’ (for some reason changing the session key in the imagemanager config file to moxiecode_auth didn’t work for me)

I then had to reinstall imagemanager with these new settings, but I think that was an issue with Safari’s cache, not the settings.

Please note that this is only a quick and very basic solution and thus there is no configuration in the EE control panel and it is restrictive as far as naming convention goes. If someone wants to make this more user friendly by all means, please do so.

It would be nice if via EE configuration you could assign the upload path per user group.

i.e

/uploads /uploads/editors /uploads/staff

etc, to prevent different staff from interfering with other files they don’t need. I know there are not many details on EE 2.0 yet but I wonder if there is a possibility they will have rich text editing and upload included?

Also this was made a year ago and moxiecode may have changed their config files.

I never knew where this script came from and have been using it for a couple months with a few modifications: my version adds the Moxiecode scripts to EE Control Panel header on Publish and Edit pages so the Moxie window will always be available to launch (very useful for MD Markitup fields that use Moxicode buttons). See attached pic for the settings.

My modified version also looks out for and plays nice with Leevi Graham’s LG Image Manager and LG File Manager extensions, which also load the Moxie scripts in the Control Panel header (so if you have an entry that has an LG File Manager field and also a field that uses MD Markitup, the scripts shouldn’t get loaded twice).

I had posted the script here: Moxiecode Authentication - but now that I know where this originally came from, I realize I probably shouldn’t have done this, especially seeing as how smallbeer just added this to a repo at Github a couple days ago.

Should I consider my version a branch?

Ryan, What settings does one put into the FileManager config file? I seem to be able to get past the login screen OK, but get the “example page” when I browse for files. I think I have the path correct in the extension settings (originally I left off the /js/, but putting that in correctly didn’t help…). Currently I have:

// Authenication
    $mcFileManagerConfig['authenticator'] = "SessionAuthenticator";
    $mcFileManagerConfig['authenticator.login_page'] = "";
    $mcFileManagerConfig['authenticator.allow_override'] = "*";

Does something need to go into the login_page parameter in the config file?

Edit: Of course, I’m using your extension…which is why I am directing my question to you. 😊

Edit II: Oh and further config settings on FileManger…

// SessionAuthenticator
    $mcFileManagerConfig['SessionAuthenticator.logged_in_key'] = "isLoggedIn";

–Hopelessly lost as usual.

@LynneL, You need to change the path from the examples page in index.php:

if (!$type) {
    header('location: pages/fm/index.html');
    die();
}

Qua? Not sure what you mean…

If I shut off authentication entirely - $mcFileManagerConfig[‘authenticator’] = “”; (which I know is a big no no) I get File Manager no problem. Why would I need to modify the actual FileManager index.php? No one seemed to talk about that up-thread…

Sorry, I wrote before I totally understood your question.

The reason to edit index.php is if you wanted to access the file manager directly, even outside of ever logging into ee.

Here’s what my login_page is set to:

$mcFileManagerConfig['authenticator.login_page'] = "login_session_auth.php";

I can’t for the life of me get this to work

I am using Tiny MCE Extension for EE (v.1.0.0) (not the LG version) I have the Moxiecode Authentication (v.0.2.0) extension installed

My path to my filemanager is correct: /tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/filemanager/js/ My session Key is defined: isLoggedIn

In my filemanager my session key is: $mcFileManagerConfig[‘SessionAuthenticator.logged_in_key’] = “isLoggedIn”;

And I still am getting the sample login page when I try to click the filemanager icon in tinymce in the publish text area

You must set a password in the file “login_session_auth.php” inorder to login using this page or reconfigure it the authenticator config options to fit your needs. Consult the Wiki for more details.

What could I possibly be missing?

You may have this fixed by now, but it could be a caching thing as mentioned by Stephen earlier - this was driving me mad this morning until I tried restarting Safari.

Handy extension - thanks!

Is anyone using this with an MSM setup? I need each site to reference different config files, but if I change the path settings for one site, it changes them for all.

After installing Moxiecode Authentication, I couldn’t figure out why I was still getting the login screen when trying to use the MCImageManager via the LG Image Manager extension.

Then I realized that you have to log out of EE and log back in for the session to get set. Hope that helps someone.
