Installation

Basic Installation

1. Install the FileBrowser
   Install the FileBrowser anywhere on your python-path. I´m personally using the project-directory.
   

   git clone git://github.com/wardi/django-filebrowser-no-grappelli.git

2. Copy Media
   Copy the folder /media either to your admin media-directory (cp -R /path/to/filebrowser/media/filebrowser /path/to/your/admin/media/) or to your preferred media-directory (in this case, you have to edit URL_FILEBROWSER_MEDIA in fb_settings).
3. Add filebrowser to your INSTALLED APPS.
   Open your projects settings-file (settings.py) and add the filebrowser to your INSTALLED APPS.
4. Change fb_settings.py
   Either change fb_settings.py or overwrite the filebrowser settings in your project settings-file (settings.py). See “Available Settings”.
   Note: You do need an upload-directory. The default one is “uploads” inside your MEDIA_ROOT. Check URL_WWW and PATH_SERVER if you change this directory.
5. Change your urls.py
   Add the following line BEFORE the admin-urls:
   

   (r’^admin/filebrowser/‘, include(’filebrowser.urls’)),

6. Add the FileBrowser to your Admin Indexpage
   Edit /templates/admin/index.html. Add this code BEFORE {% for app in app_list } … { endfor }:
   

   {

   include “filebrowser/append.html” %}
7. That’s it.

PS. There are problems with the upload using wsgi version less than 2.4 – make sure you have a more updated version.

IMPORTANT: About 90% of the problems installing the filebrowser are related to wrong URLS and/or PATHS. So, please read through [http://code.google.com/p/django-filebrowser/wiki/Settings Available Settings] and check everything with either URL or PATH carefully (especially when using TinyMCE).
