elFinder 2.1 integration for Yii 1.1
====================================

[](#elfinder-21-integration-for-yii-11)

Based on [https://bitbucket.org/z\_bodya/yii-elfinder](https://bitbucket.org/z_bodya/yii-elfinder) with updated [elFinder](https://github.com/Studio-42/elFinder) and some code improvements.

How to use
----------

[](#how-to-use)

1. Checkout source code to your project to ext.elFinder. You can use custom elFinder code, just set `elFindervendor` alias to point your elFinder code directory.

    ```
    'aliases' => [
        'elFindervendor' => 'vendor.myCystomElFinder',
    ],
    ```

    You can get elFinder from  - remember to move `css`, `img`, `js`and `sounds` directories to `assets` directory, so elFinder source will look like:

2. Create controller for connector action, and configure it params

    ```
    class ElfinderController extends Controller {

        // don't forget configure access rules

        public function actions() {
            return [
                // main action for elFinder connector
                'connector' => [
                    'class' => 'ext.elFinder.ElFinderConnectorAction',
                    // elFinder connector configuration
                    // https://github.com/Studio-42/elFinder/wiki/Connector-configuration-options
                    'settings' => [
                        'roots' => [
                            [
                                'driver' => 'LocalFileSystem',
                                'path' => Yii::getPathOfAlias('webroot') . '/files/',
                                'URL' => Yii::app()->baseUrl . '/files/',
                                'alias' => 'Root Alias',
                                'acceptedName' => '/^[^\.].*$/', // disable creating dotfiles
                                'attributes' => [
                                    [
                                        'pattern' => '/\/[.].*$/', // hide dotfiles
                                        'read' => false,
                                        'write' => false,
                                        'hidden' => true,
                                    ],
                                ],
                            ],
                        ],
                    ],
                ],
                // action for TinyMCE popup with elFinder widget
                'elfinderTinyMce' => [
                    'class' => 'ext.elFinder.TinyMceElFinderPopupAction',
                    'connectorRoute' => 'connector', // main connector action id
                ],
                // action for file input popup with elFinder widget
                'elfinderFileInput' => [
                    'class' => 'ext.elFinder.ServerFileInputElFinderPopupAction',
                    'connectorRoute' => 'connector', // main connector action id
                ],
            ];
        }
    }
    ```
3. ServerFileInput - use this widget to choose file on server using elFinder pop-up

    ```
    $this->widget('ext.elFinder.ServerFileInput', [
        'model' => $model,
        'attribute' => 'field_name',
        'popupConnectorRoute' => 'elfinder/elfinderFileInput', // relative route for file input action
        // ability to customize "Browse" button
    //	'customButton' => CHtml::button('Browse images', [
    //		'id' => CHtml::getIdByName(CHtml::activeName($model, 'field_name')) . 'browse',
    //		'class' => 'btn', 'style' => 'margin-left:10px',
    //	]),
        // title for popup window (optional)
        'popupTitle' => 'Files',
    ]);
    ```
4. ElFinderWidget - use this widget to manage files

    ```
    $this->widget('ext.elFinder.ElFinderWidget', [
        'connectorRoute' => 'elfinder/connector', // relative route for elFinder connector action
    ]);
    ```
5. TinyMceElFinder - use this widget to integrate elFinder with [yii-tinymce](https://github.com/rob006/yii-tinymce)

    ```
    $this->widget('ext.tinymce.TinyMce', [
        'model' => $model,
        'attribute' => 'content',
        'fileManager' => [
            'class' => 'ext.elFinder.TinyMceElFinder',
            'popupConnectorRoute' => 'elfinder/elfinderTinyMce', // relative route for TinyMCE popup action
            // title for popup window (optional)
            'popupTitle' => 'Files',
        ],
    ]);
    ```
