Digging a little deeper... there are a couple of JavaScript errors, found via Chrome:

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ~  umbraco.aspx:51

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ~  umbraco.aspx:143

The first one, (line: 51) has a list of JavaScript filepaths, but they haven't been included, nor have <script> tags. Not sure how you are referencing them, maybe Client Dependency is getting in the way? Not sure...

Cheers, Lee.

I have similar result using Umbraco 4.5 / Win'08.

Below is a copy of the lines 45-52

Looks like FM isn't working with 4.5... I honestly haven't tested it with 4.5... I'll install it today and troubleshoot.

Thanks for the testing.. it's appreciated..  Where you able to test againast 4.0.x ?

Hi Daniel,

Just tested on v4.0.3 (nearest local version I could find) ... and it works fine! :-D

Let me know if you need me to test anything on v4.5 (contact me via here).

Cheers, Lee.

Any word on this fix?  I just installed file manager on 4.5 without reading this and am now getting errors.

I'm curious as well, it's invaluable to have with clients that prefer not to offer ftp access.

I haven't been able to find time to upgrade it to 4.5... I'm truly hoping to be able to make the time within the next month.

Thanks for your patience!

Daniel,

Hate to bug, but have you had a chance to look at this?  It would really help me for moving custom code to the site.

When I'm freed up from my freelance work, I will be getting FM to work with 4.5 +  ..  This will be happing after the 1st of next year.

Any update on this project?

Here's a beta for you to test out.  Let me know of any bugs you find.

Hey Daniel, I just tested this on a new umbraco (4.6.1) install and when clicking the file manager section all i see is [fileman] and nothing under the folder.

Daniel, the file is not found.  Do you have a newer version or ???

The file is there!   Try again.

Now it found it.  Thanks!

Is the above link compatible with 4.7RC?  The backend breaks when I load this package.  I love the package but am missing it!

Working on finishing the next release.. been bogged down with other projects and packages...  I think I'm about ready to get a new FileManger completed.

Watch for it soon...

Damn... i've installed this on a 4.6 instance and broken it... didnt take a backup before... dammit.  File system no problem, but DB is... do you have uninstall/ rollback instructions at all?

Solution to stuffed up install on 4.5+ is here: http://our.umbraco.org/projects/backoffice-extensions/file-manager/questions-and-requests/12930-Installed-this-and-umbraco-is-broken

You can remove by deleting the assembly from the bin (Dascoba.Umb.FileManager.dll)

Please explain how it "broke" your umbraco?

Yeah i fixed it... that's why i posted a link to the other forum that had the solution.

by "broke", i mean no content in the main window loaded.

Just a thought... it might be a good idea to put a warning on the package for people not to install it on Umbraco 4.5+, to prevent more people falling into this same trap.

It says it's works with 4.0 only... the 4.5 compatible version is only in beta and not available on the package page.

Where does it say it works with 4.0 only?  i know it says it works with 4.0... but many packages say that and work with 4.5 anyway. I just thought it'd be useful to explicitly state that it wont work with 4.5... no stress if you dont want to, was just a suggestion.

I'll add a note to the top of the description until I can release a compatible version.

Good idea ;)

Done.. 

Side note.. just sent you an email.

Any news on this?  It's a fantastic looking package, and I don't really want to reinvent the wheel and write my own if you're about done on the bug fix.//

Cheers.

Haven't had much time to work on finishing the 2.0 beta.. not confortable releasing a beta.

I need to do some time management to find the time to get this complete.

Hoping for a 4.7 compatible version soon... :)

This has just broken my 4.7 admin site. User facing side is still fine though but cannot uninstall due admin having a JS error that I'll have to dig around for now.

I am normally okay and understand this when it comes to open-source but, being an open-source contriubutor myself, I would like to know why this package clearly states support for 4.7 up to 5.0 on its main page. Besides that, a simple importsnt note above its main description area would make sense. *shakes head*

maybe this has been address in Umbraco 5.0+, but anything considered a plugin/package framework like this should not make it possible for third party plugins to break the entire admin side of the CMS. 

but right-at-this-current-moment emotions should not prevent me from forgetting how grateful i am for all of ya :-) taking anything negative feeling out of my previous post... :)

I'm sorry for you experience.  I do not know why it says it is support in 4.7 and worse, 5.0... there is a 4.7 version under development... removing the Dascoba.FileManager.dll from the /bin will resolve the issue.

Hi Daniel

Is there any news about finishing Umbraco File Mangager in the Umbraco 4.7.x version ?

I have a hosted site with no file access, so it would be a great tool for me.

Would like to buy it, if you get it finished.

Cheers

Jan
