Great!

I can't seem to find an option to access the extensions, where would it be located from the dashboard?

 

[twisted1919]

@Rebecca - make sure you are in the /backend area of the website, not in /customer.
Once you are in /backend, go to Extend -> Extensions

 

[Rebecca]

Great, thanks

 

[Andrew]

i cant seem to find a way to upload a file there. only to create a text file or folder. What am i missing?

 

[twisted1919]

Hey,

Press on the Floppy Disk that has a plus sign on it, when you are in the file manager window

Thanks.

 

[Andrew]

thats awesome! thanks i donno how i didnt notice that myself.
btw i really like this file manager extension. Do you know where i can get it separately, so i can use it on my own ckeditor in a different application?

 

[twisted1919]

It's elFinder: https://github.com/Studio-42/elFinder

Thanks.

@João - Disable debugging mode in case you have it enabled.

 

[João]

@twisted1919

Debug is not enabled

 

[twisted1919]

@João - Could you try switching the language to english, maybe this is causing the error ?

 

[João]

@twisted1919
I put English as the default language and yet the error continues.

Invalid backend response.
Data is empty.

 

[twisted1919]

@João - I have no other ideas for now. Do you have any special mod enabled for apache, like mod security?
If you take a look in backend -> misc -> app log, do you find something related to this?
Do you have access to your server logs to see if you can find something there?

 

[João]

@twisted1919
nothing in the log about it.

 

[twisted1919]

@João - You can PM ( https://forum.mailwizz.com/conversations/ ) me with mailwizz backend login and a FTP login to your server so that i can see what's wrong.

Where are those uploaded images stored on the file-system? Is there a way to specify a different path (i.e. offload them onto fast SSD and then have a rewrite/Alias in HTTP to point to it) - i.e. it would be nice to be able to configure the actual storage connector - https://github.com/Studio-42/elFinder/wiki/Connector-configuration-options

 

[twisted1919]

@bidorbuy they're stored in /frontend/assets/files/*
As for connector options, you can always overload the default file manager controller with your own and do all sort of configuration to it

Hi and sorry for this fast question.
How to enable upload mp4 in the file manager?

I can upload only images and this is a limit for me.
