Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about al3x_file_manager

To embed download area into a post or page, simply insert one of the following placeholders into your post or page: Placeholder: [[afm_page]] This will display the login screen for users in your post or page, and if logged it will display download filetree. Placeholder: [[afm_public:/]] This will display the public download area in your post or page.
This feature depends on two different things. First if the bad guy doesn't know the actual location of your files, he can access them only through the
In this case downloads are session bound if not public. So if files are accessible through the script, then maybe you are still logged in as an wp-administrator or files are inside the public directory. In both cases access limitation through a session are bypassed.

To escape encoding problems the plugin allows only alphanumeric characters and the underscore (as a replacement for no alnum chars) in filenames, based on the server 'locale' settings. That is why diacritic letters which you may deem alphanumeric fail to match critiria and are replaced as well.
The safest way to change icons used in the filetree, is to simply exchange the image files in [path/to/wp-content/plugins]/al3x-file-manager/images/ with your own, and don't change the script.
Now that public download area is implemented, this is on the top of my ToDo list.
