Configuration

Edit the file ‘list_files.xml’ located in ‘application’ folder to add groups and files:

     <!--
        Each Tab is a group of files. It may have two attribute which are:
        @rootPath: the relative path of the folder which will contains
        the files you want to edit.
        @getList: set to 'true' to let the application to read the content
        of the rootPath,
        so don't add child node to that tab, they will be added by
        the application automatically.
        leave 'false' to add manually each file.
        The following Tab will be populate automatically by the application
        according to the folder content specifyed by the attribute @rootPath.
        Keep in mind that rootPath must be resolved correctly with the
        $baseRoot variable in the php file (moduleTextEditor.php)
     -->
    <tab label="Group 1" rootPath="xmls/" getList="true">
    </tab>
   
   
    <!--
        The following Tab will be populated manually.
    -->
     <tab label="Group 2" rootPath="xmls/" getList="false">
         <!--
            Each item must have a relative path to the file (@url) and
            a custom name (@name)
            The relative path must be resolved correctly with the
            $baseRoot variable in the php file (moduleTextEditor.php)
           
            @url attribute is the relative path to your file from the end
            of the complete domain.
            i.e.:
            Your file is located in:
            http://www.myserver.com/assets/files/myfile.txt
            The @url should be:
            assets/files/myfile.txt
         -->
        <file name="Name 1" url="1.xml" />
        <file name="Name 2" url="2.xml" />
        <file name="Name 3" url="3.xml" />
    </tab>

You can add as many files you want.

PHP settings

The php ‘moduleTextEditor.php’ file try to use the DOCUMENT_ROOT variable to resolve the absolute path of the files.
Unfortunately some server configuration doesn’t have the DOCUMENT_ROOT variable set properly, or if you are using a virtual server to host several domains and subdomains, there will be just one DOCUMENT_ROOT for all the domains.
In these specific situations, or any other which cause wrong behavior of the application, you have to set it up manually by opening the ‘moduleTextEditor.php’ file and editing the very first line of the file, which by default is:

$baseRoot = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/";

You should set it up something like:

$baseRoot = "/webroot/myserver/htdocs/";

For a quick test you could invoke, through the browser, the php page with the following variable:

http://www.myserver.com/application/moduleTextEditor.php?root=true

If it doesn’t print anything or just a “/”, try the following variable:

http://www.myserver.com/application/moduleTextEditor.php?getcwd=true

If these utilities cannot help, you should contact your server administrator.
Keep in mind that the DOCUMENT_ROOT is the absolute server path to you root domain folder.

Another variable to may find useful is BOM encoding for UTF8 files.
By default it is set to false but you can set it to true if you found some encoding issue on your files after saving.

$useBOM = false;

Permissions

Make sure that all the files you are going to add to the list have read/write permission allowed (chmod 777) and relative parent folders.
