Installation tips

  1. If you want to be able to Browse for an existing file, instead of uploading a new file, when using the Files field in a tracker then you will need to install elFinder.
  2. If when you first try to use elFinder you get the following two error messages in a pop-up box:
Invalid backend configuration
Readable volumes not available


These errors probably mean that the 'root' gallery for the site is not #1 but some other number for some historic/site reworking reason. To check just hover over the top-level 'File Galleries' link in the breadcrumb list at the top of a normal File gallery listing to see which Id is being used. To fix this another record needs to be added to the tiki_preferences table in the database - which needs to be done by direct/manual access to the database since there is not an admin panel option to do this (yet!). The new name to be inserted into the table is fgal_root_id and it should be set to whatever is the gallery Id of your site's File gallery root.
