The architecture
design element

The Architecture

The manager is modular and each of its part is autonomous. All parts are bound to each other by Javascript events which you can connect to inside your scripts to customize the behaviour of the manager.

Parts of the manager:

  • Catalogue tree
  • File uploading
  • File and directory viewing area
  • Actions toolbar
  • Cropper.js

Each part on Joomla! side comes as JForm field. On the front-end, the parts are named as modules. Thereby, you can combine parts of the File Manager as you need inside of your forms that use JForm constructor.

Scopes
design element

Scopes

This is a conditional separation of file types into directories and looks like an alias to the folder which gives you a quick access from the component sidebar. You can create custom scopes even to folders stored in the root of the site and get access to important files in one click.
Templates to Embed Files
design element

Templates to Embed Files
(HTML Markup)

Just create an HTML markup with icon and styles you want to get and embed any supported type of files without an external shortcode plugin.

Variables to Create Folders and Limit Access
design element

Variables to Create Folders
and Limit Access
