QuiXplorer for Joomla! 1.5 Component

A native Joomla! 1.5 administrative component for managing your files and folders, based on QuiXplorer.

The current production version (1.0.1) fixes a few minor issues and comes in two editions (or "views"): the Site Root View (which gives you access to all files and folders located at the root of your website) and the Joomla! Root View (which gives you access to all your Joomla! files or folders, whether they are located at the root of your website or in a subfolder). Please choose the edition that is best suited for your needs, as you cannot use both editions simultaneously.

Also, please note that your web hosting service provider must have the $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] server variable enabled in order for you to be able to use this extension.

Finally, please make sure that permissions are properly set on your files and folders in order for you to be able to use this extension in the best possible conditions. If you need guidance, please contact your web hosting service provider.

Enjoy ;-)

I used JoomlaXPlorer in Joomla 1.0.13, but it just wouldn't work in J1.5. Even with the latest upgrades. So I tried this one, and am fascinated... just great.

Well, I tried several other file management extensions, but they didn't do the job. It's not that I'm dispising the others, it's that this is the only one that worked. So 5 stars for it!

This might be good if you want to upload new files in other folders than the image folder, but there are no options to rename files, edit text files, chmod etc. At least NinjaXplorer works better in this way, and is the best of the ones I've tried.

Thank you very much for your feedback! I'm currently working on a new version which will include features, such as renaming files and changing directory and file permissions. Please bear with me... Cheers, Phil :-)

This is my first bad review of an extension and not really bad but 1 thing made me not use this piece of software.

The good stuff is that it is a quick file manager and you can upload files etc. and if it wasn't for this one thing i would be using it as I like the interface over all other file managers.

It does not overwrite files?? if I upload a modified file or a new picture into a theme which is replacing an old pictures or graphic of the same name I would want to overwrite the file but instead of asking that question the program simply tells me that the file already exists?

I tried Extplorer for 1.5.3 the latest release and it gave me errors upon the install. i read the forum and tried to remove some file repack and install and the same thing...

So I gave up.. Quixplorer why not having as much features as Extplorer it worked and installed with no problem so I give it a good rating because it worked..

I couldn't get it to install. I'm sure it was a permission problem but I couldn't figure out the correct ones and I couldn't find any documentation or anything to tell me what they should have been. tried 755 and 777 but nothing worked.

I was having the same problems with Extplorer for 1.5.3 as others and QuiXplorer required none of the hassles of said product. I just made sure the tmp, components, admin/components had the correct rw privilege and the component was installed and ready to go. Kudos!

Not only does it work but it installs. I have tried and tried to install eXtplorer but without any luck. I was afraid that I would have to live without an admin side file manager. This installs nicely and works, taking care of all the permission problems that arise after installing a component.
