Sorrrrrry, I’ve already sent you $40 today…I think you can fix your bugs without further payment.

Here’s a hint though:

// Convert to web safe (default)

No PayPal contributions totalling $40 have been received today. Sounds like you might have mistakenly sent it to the wrong developer.

Additionally there are currently no reported bugs on the bug tracker for this stack. That means simply that nobody has emailed to report a problem with it.

If you need help with the stack, please get in contact with me by email and attach a copy of your PayPal receipt. The RW forums are NOT a safe place to be disclosing links, FTP or login details for test sites, when troubleshooting server-side issues.

I cannot see the “dangling comment” in the source code of my own test site.

Would like to use the brilliant FM. But it doesn’t show up on the webpage…
There is just nothing to see :O(.

It’s php 5.6 and easyCMS. Where could I start to solve it? Is it not 7 ready?

THX Steve I’ve read the instruction x times. Obviously I made something wrong…

* Once downloaded and installed into Stacks 3 / RapidWeaver, open your Stacks library. Search for 'FileMan'

  • Drag and drop a copy of FileMan into an existing or new page. The file extension is automatically changed to .php in the Page Inspector

  • In the stack settings, configure the options for your file manager, including its preferred location, settings and localisations

  • Publish your website. In your web browser (e.g. Chrome, Firefox or Safari), navigate to the page hosting your FileMan stack

  • As the page loads, FileMan will automatically create the new directory on your hosting server (where your files will be stored) and will configure the file manger with your chosen preferences

  • Point your web browser to the new directory. You should be presented with a login window and then you can login to begin managing your files

I left for this test the default settings

Its php 5.6, its suffix is php, stacks3 is ok, file upload on server is possible…

Tom: I’m just saying the same thing as Steve but in different words.

FileManager is a stack which simply creates a new stand-alone page. In fact you can remove the fireman page from your RW project once the standalone page is created. The key is this page won’t look like any of your other pages. So when you sent us to some page that looked like it had the same theme as the rest of your website that was already the big hint that something was amiss.

If you want to “style” that new page using RW … well you can’t. It doesn’t live in RW at all. You could do some styling and add some content I’m sure if you actually edited the standalone page’s HTML directly. And keep in mind this is a very nice resource but it is free.

Tom: It also looks like you did not change anything from the Fileman defaults which are:

  • directory path: file-manager
  • password: Hippie%765_pwd

I’d suggest putting in whatever directory you really want to use (i.e. folder for people to go to) and whatever password you really want to use. If you use the default password people may (rightly or wrongly) assume you’re still smoking the weed. :slight_smile:

Ahhhhhh… now I see. Thanks Steve’n Mathew. The problem is, as always, behind the keyboard…

We’ve all been there!

Hi all and Will (@willwood),

I have successfully and easily installed FileMan at a site hosted at 1and1. But, following the same install instructions, I am having trouble installing FileMan at a site hosted at SiteGround. The url to the draft site is: http://184.154.247.57/~herita91/hucc3/. I am in the process of updating the site for management by EasyCMS and FileMan. FileMan provides simple/straight-forward file management capabilities for RW sites that I have been looking for quite sometime, thanks Will!.
The FileMan stack is at http://184.154.247.57/~herita91/hucc3/fm, and the FileMan page should be generated at http://184.154.247.57/~herita91/hucc3/filemanager, but it is not being generated after an initial visit to http://184.154.247.57/~herita91/hucc3/fm.
I notice that the for SiteGround, the RW Publishing Path is: /public_html/hucc3 vs. /hucc3, which would be the path if hosted at 1and1 and some other hosts. Is this “/public_html” in the path causing a problem that the FileMan settings don’t account for?
