Hey,

I installed the module in Drupal 7 and downloaded the elfinder 1.2 to my webspace.
After that I activated the module and opend the config page.

Now my (I think very simple) problem: Where can I open and use elfinder !?

I looked around at my website, asked google but I can't find anything.

Please help me ;)

best wishes
tobma

/elfinder

Also elFinder should be located under admin/content/files. For 1.2 better use latest dev version.

http://yourdomain.com/?q=elfinder if you don't have clean URLs enabled.

Version: 7.x-0.6 » 7.x-1.x-dev

After the update I do not work anymore elfinder, displays a completely blank page.
I also noticed that if you have suggested as an address /elfinder but in my case by mistake, can I just add elfinder without /

I also noticed that in the file "elfinder.module" updated to version 2011-Oct-18 in the 7.x-1.x-dev
Line 111 should not be:
elfinder_add_css($libpath . '/css/elfinder.drupal.css', $options);
but
elfinder_add_css($libpath . '/css/elfinder.css', $options);

it is a mistake?

Is there any php error messages in server log? Is there any javascript errors? Could you please provide screenshot and blank page html source?

Strange...

1. Try to replace Custom URL to absolute (i.e. http://...)
2. Check if directory writable by webserver
3. Try to test with non-opera browser if possible.
4. Try to switch 'use system defaults'. Is contents of sites/defaults/files available in this case?

1. where?
2. I tried changing the permissions on the folder in 0777 (they were set to 0775) but nothing.
3. I tried it with Internet Explorer but is equal
4. I tried putting in default, but nothing

I uninstalled and installed the module and the package elfinder library, but nothing changes, it remains inaccessible
attached the new images

I also noticed that the default folder. tmb point has disappeared, is now being offered tmb

I have just tried 7.x-0.6 and 7.x-1.x-dev with Drupal 7.9 running with the admin-menu module.

For both, I get

elFinder library was not found. Please download it from http://sourceforge.net/projects/elfinder/files/ and install to sites/all/libraries/elfinder. (Currently using elFinder Not found)

when the module is activated. I installed the module using "modules, install new module" and giving the URL of the module in each case. The result was that the module was installed to sites/all/modules not sites/all/libraries as advised by this error message.

So far every other module I've used has installed without any problem using this installation method. What am I missing?

Later: Installing from a downloaded file produces the same result.

Module is installed into sites/all/modules - it is correct. But you should manually download client library (it can't be included into module per drupal.org's bureaucracy) from http://sourceforge.net/projects/elfinder/files/ and unpack it to sites/all/libraries/elfinder

harmlessdrudge,

I can't reproduce your issue, so need your help to capture it. There are needed few things:

1. Firefox browser
2. FireBug extension

Are you able to install it to get more info about this issue?

The first time I tried to enable the module, I got this error:

Warning: include_once(/php/elFinder.class.php) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in include_once()...

First, I noticed that the elFinder.class.php file does NOT exist here: sites/all/libraries/elfinder/php/elFinder.class.php
Which is where the elfinder.module is looking for it.

Instead, it exists at: sites/all/libraries/elfinder/connectors/php/elFinder.class.php

So, I modified the first line in modules/elfinder/elfinder.module and hard-coded the path (not the best solution, just a temporary fix):

include_once '/your/full/system/path/to/sites/all/libraries/connectors/php/elFinder.class.php';
//include_once dirname(elfinder_connector_path()) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'elFinder.class.php';

Upon trying to enable the module after this change, I got this error:

elFinder library was not found. Please download it from http://sourceforge.net/projects/elfinder/files/ and install to sites/all/libraries/elfinder. (Currently using elFinder Not found)

I noticed it seems that elfinder is looking for this class in sites/all/libraries/elfinder/php/ and NOT sites/all/libraries/elfinder/connectors/php/ which is where the class actually resides. So, I copied the php directory contents and pasted it into sites/all/libraries/elfinder/php/

This resulted in the module enabling successfully. I was able to create a content type for files, and when I add content, the correct file-upload widget displays in the add-content page. However, it seems that every area that elFinder loads (including mydomain.com/elfinder is presenting a warning message of:

elFinder library directory containing features test files sites/all/libraries/elfinder/elfinder.php.html, sites/all/libraries/elfinder/connectors/php/connector.php, sites/all/libraries/elfinder/php/connector.php. Please remove these files to avoid security hole.

After removing these files, there are no more errors. However, I get a blank screen when accessing the elFinder file browser at mysite.com/elfinder and the same result on the add-content page when clicking "browse" for elfinder file.

Please see attached screenshots. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. This project is time-sensitive (as in, supposed to be finished days ago). So, hopefully this can get resolved asap. It looks like a promising module, otherwise.

Update: for the time being, I've reverted to the 7.x-0.7 version, and it is working well.

With 6.x-1.x-dev I could find elFinder at admin/content/files, but I wanted per user permission settings so I upgraded to 6.x-2.x-dev. Now when I go to admin/content/files nothing shows up, but I don't get a 'missing page' error.

Is there any javascript errors?

mdallmeyer’s picture

No errors anywhere.

Is it showing on /elfinder url?

Hello, I have same issue. Downloaded and copy all from elfinder-2.0-rc to sites/all/libraries/elfinder, installed module 7.x-0.7 (filefield source as well) Drupal core 7.15 and it's still says that "elFinder library was not found." that can be wrong here?

Kvark’s picture

Solved as 2.0-rc lib should be used with 2.0 Dev module and not 0.7

Why do I suggest to delete the files:

  • elfinder.html
  • connector.php
  • connector.minimal.php

in the library 2. for security reasons?
Or am I wrong I set permissions (644)?
