Repository File Manager

Blocks ::: block_repo_filemanager
Maintained by Me !Tim Williams
Part of set Course files.
This block contains a Moodle 2+ re-write of the Moodle 1.x file manager.
Latest release:
467 sites
72 downloads
25 fans
Current versions available: 3
The primary purpose of this block is to provide file management capabilities for the 'Course files area' repository. However, this block is also capable of interfacing with the Moodle 2+ Files API to provide limited file browsing capabilities for some other repository types. It is hoped to further develop the management capabilities so that files held in other repository types can be managed through this block.

    On line 199 of /repos/generic.php, I see:


    public function can_manage_files()
    {
    return false;
    }

    Pretty sure that's why we're not seeing any of the bottom buttons.

    You will only see e bottom buttons if you are using a repo type which supports the file management capabilities, right now this is limited to the Course files area repo.The other repo types are basically browse only, so the bottom buttons are not shown. I would like to add support for the management of more repo types, but this isn't going to be possible for all repo types.

    Hi!
    Just installed the Repository File Manager Yesterday And came up with the following messages in the header bar when debugger was turned on.
    _________________________________________

    Raymond, Franke : The error is not critical, but it should be fixed in the next release (coming very soon).

    Hi,
    Thanks for your work.
    I've installed it in Moodle 2.6.1 but I cannot see the options on the right (rename, delete...). I haven't see the bottom option (with choosen files, create folder and so on.

    I have checked it with different themes but that wasn't a solution.

    When I have activated the debugging mode this is the error message:

    get_context_instance() is deprecated, please use context_xxxx::instance() instead.

    line 4020 of /lib/deprecatedlib.php: call to debugging()
    line 53 of /blocks/repo_filemanager/index.php: call to get_context_instance()

    get_system_context() is deprecated, please use context_system::instance() instead.

    line 4080 of /lib/deprecatedlib.php: call to debugging()
    line 56 of /blocks/repo_filemanager/index.php: call to get_system_context()

    build_navigation() is deprecated, please use $PAGE->navbar methods instead.

    line 1988 of /lib/deprecatedlib.php: call to debugging()
    line 549 of /blocks/repo_filemanager/index.php: call to build_navigation()
    line 522 of /blocks/repo_filemanager/index.php: call to html_header()

    Any idea?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Tim,

    I noticed that the Website URL link above takes you to a page that no longer exists. Do you plan to continue to maintain this plugin? If so, do you plan on releasing a Moodle 2.7 version?

    Best regards,

    Michael

    Hi Monica, I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to do, could you explain the procedure you are trying to follow in more detail?

    Hi all, I'm moving to Moodle 2.8 but released the latest version of Blocks: File Repository Manager is for Moodle 2.7, you know if the last version released from Blocks: Repository File Manager works correctly in Moodle 2.8?

    Hi Yenin, I still use this plugin on my own sites, so it is still developed. I've not had time to check it on Moodle 2.8 yet, this will happen at some point but I can't give you a time scale (I've got far too much other work on at the moment). The chances are that it will work on Moodle 2.8, so I suggest you give it a go on a test site before deploying.

    No matter the moodle and php file limits, I always get this error when trying to upload a file:
    Uploaded file {$a} exceeded the maximum size limit set by the form

    The problem was not present when we first installed the plugin. Since then we changed many moodle configuration parameters, but we can't figure out wich one is causing the problem. Any help would be appreciated
