elFinder Package for Laravel 4

This packages integrates elFinder 2.1, by making the php files available with Composer (+autoloading) and the assets with a publish command. It also provides some example views for standalone, tinymce and ckeditor. Files are updated from the 2.1 nightly builds by nao-pon

Note: Use php artisan elfinder:publish instead of the old publish command, for future changes!

Installation

Add this package to your composer.json and run composer update.

"barryvdh/laravel-elfinder": "0.1.x",

Add the ServiceProvider to the providers array in app/config/app.php

'Barryvdh\Elfinder\ElfinderServiceProvider'

You need to copy the assets to the public folder, using the following artisan command:

php artisan elfinder:publish

Remember to publish the assets after each update (or add the command to your post-update-cmd in composer.json)

You can now add the routes for elFinder to your routes.php

Route::group(array('before' => 'auth'), function()
    {
        \Route::get('elfinder', 'Barryvdh\Elfinder\ElfinderController@showIndex');
        \Route::any('elfinder/connector', 'Barryvdh\Elfinder\ElfinderController@showConnector');
    });

Offcourse you can define your own filters/routes if you want.

Configuration

The default configuration requires a directory called 'files' in the public folder. You can change this by publishing the config file.

php artisan config:publish barryvdh/laravel-elfinder

In your app/config/packages/barryvdh/laravel-elfinder, you can change the default folder, the access callback or define your own roots.
