Install Flmngr file manager server side

In order to let your Flmngr file manager dialog to list files, upload and modify them on the server, you need to install official server side script to add such support to your server.

Users who use CMS integrations like Drupal already have backend installed and configured. Users of custom integrations (when you install JS snippet or CKEditor or TinyMCE plugin) need to integrate the file manager backend to their CMS or framework manually.

Install the package

Go into your PHP project and in its root directory, run:

composer require edsdk/flmngr-server-php

And let some URL be a handler. If you do not use any framework, just create a PHP file `flmngr.php` with the following contents:

<?php
    EdSDKFlmngrServerFlmngrServer::flmngrRequest(
        array(
            'dirFiles' => '/var/www/files',
        )
    );

In frameworks like Laravel, Symphony, Yii, CodeIgniter, etc., you can create a new method in some controller calling the same method. A URL mapped to this method will be the entry point of all Flmngr requests.

Link Flmngr with the server

Using the visual Dashboard, you can specify the URLs of your server to link Flmngr with it.

• File Manager URL is the full URL of flmngr.php.
• Files URL is the full URL of dirFiles (not a directory path!).

Go to Dashboard

Files URL explanation

The Files URL option is the prefix Flmngr will add to any file when inserting it into your content (or returning it into a callback of your API call). If you can use Flmngr fine, but all inserted images are broken, please see this sample to understand how it works:
