Open/Save to server

I have created a plugin and customized file browser that allows for opening and saving directly to the file system that is serving up the editor. Since I had to make a custom file browser, it's only available for PHP at the moment. Question, has anybody done anything like this already? And is anybody interested in something like this? It's close to being finished and if anybody else wants it, I will write up some quickie instructions and package it up.

RE: Open/Save to server

Hi there,

I am interested. I would like to have the disk icon submit the page with some custom parameters, (like an incremental save, not a save and exit), and I am just starting to dig into how to do this.

Any ideas/code would be welcome.

Thanks,
Darryl

Darryl, you wrote me the other day. I am the one that wrote the Snippets plugin.

I already started a plugin project for what you ask and several people have reported that it works just fine for them.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/lfobrowser/ But as I wrote before, it requires a custom file browser (included in the package) and only works with PHP for now. I am working on expanding the feature set at this very moment but I have no plans to make a browser for anything else but PHP.

I've extended the LFO browsers with several features:
A configuration option to allow or deny specific files or folders; The ability to load selective content/specific parts of files; and the historySave feature to keep a history of a file. Some other small changes have been made too.

I have again added new features to the LFO plugin:

Update 30-12-2006 adding new features and a fix :
- ScriptImage option: Show javascripts as images? Scripts not shown as an image risk to be accidentally deleted when editing text. (Each set of scripts, i.e. script that succeed each other, will be shown as one image)
- Locale string was missing - fixed
- Different folders possible per filetype (File/Image/Flash/Media)
- Absolute paths option
- Decode and Encode functions can be set for filenames
- Option to safe nicely indented HTML
