README

Backpack admin interface for files and folder, using barryvdh/laravel-elfinder. This package literally just:

• creates a public/uploads folder;
• installs barryvdh/laravel-elfinder;
• publishes an elFinder config and view, for elFinder to play nice with Backpack;
• adds a menu item to the sidebar;

Installation

From your command line, require the package (this will also require barryvdh/laravel-elfinder):

composer require backpack/filemanager

Then run the install process:

php artisan backpack:filemanager:install

That's it. Hit refresh in your admin panel, and you'll find a new sidebar item pointing to the File Manager.

Usage

You can use elFinder in Backpack:

• stand-alone, by accessing the /admin/elfinder route (see screenshot above);
• inside the browse, browse_multiple;

Customization

You can publish the views to your resources/views/vendor/backpack/filemanager folder by running:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Backpack\FileManager\FileManagerServiceProvider" --tag="elfinder-views"
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Backpack\FileManager\FileManagerServiceProvider" --tag="elfinder-fields"
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Backpack\FileManager\FileManagerServiceProvider" --tag="elfinder-columns"

Upgrade

To upgrade from v3 to v4 of this package:

# remove the published blade views
rm -rf resources/views/vendor/elfinder
