I have noticed following problems with the File Manager version 2005042200 (from the zip-file: file_manager_4-12-2006.zip).

I would like you to know that I had a problem with Create new Category function in the "Add a Link" page. It gave me a following error message Unknown parameter type: PARAM_APLHAEXT. This was fixed by removing line 16 ( $from = optional_param(from, NULL, PARAM_ALPHAEXT); ) from the cat_manage.php.

And it also seems that your are unable to make first time installation of the File Manager block to the Moodle 1.6 beta 5 version (it gives you errors on the tables).

Yours sincerely

Hi Michael,

Have you managed to get any of those features you suggested (Giving admin's a page to search/view all users files for appropriate content for example) above to work yet.....????

I think a with the file manager block, the admin power to view any students' files to check if the content is appropriate, is a must!!!

Keep me updated!!!!

Thanks,

Andrea

Hi Geoff

I too had this problem and followed Luciano's instructions (Below) as well as updating the language package to UTF8 verison.  My block now installs and can be added to a page but still appears to contain errors.  Give it a go and please let me know how you get on.

Luciano's Instructions:

You will have to start from the beginning but if you have attempted to install you will have to go into the SQL db and DROP TABLE:

1. $     prefix_fmanager_admin
2. $     prefix_fmanager_shared
3. $     prefix_fmanager_folders
4. $     prefix_fmanager_categories
5. $     prefix_fmanager_link

**Note that prefix might say mdl in your database.  Just use whatever it says in your SQL database.

Next you will have to replace mysql.sql in your file_manager folder in the db folder.
here is the path
file_manager > db > mysql.sql
This is what I changed.
from this
INSERT INTO prefix_log_display VALUES ('fmanager', 'add', 'fmanager', 'name');
INSERT INTO prefix_log_display VALUES ('fmanager', 'update', 'fmanager', 'name');
INSERT INTO prefix_log_display VALUES ('fmanager', 'view', 'fmanager', 'name');

to this
INSERT INTO prefix_log_display (module,action,mtable,field) VALUES ('fmanager', 'add', 'fmanager', 'name');
INSERT INTO prefix_log_display (module,action,mtable,field) VALUES ('fmanager', 'update', 'fmanager', 'name');
INSERT INTO prefix_log_display (module,action,mtable,field) VALUES ('fmanager', 'view', 'fmanager', 'name');

Hope this works for you.

Use this file with the File manager 2 in the CVS folder.

This has worked for me.

Change the SQL file in the CVS download located at Blocks/Filemanager/db

with the one attached.

I would like to see a update of the File Manger Block too.

..or if there is a other block with the same funktions for 1.7.

I got tired of waiting for the block to be updated for 1.7 so I thought I would just jump in and help.

I have attached the new code for 1.7+. I have done some testing and it appears to functional with the new permisions structure if anyone wants to clean it up any, Go for it. I hope this helps, I know it will be helpful for my school.
