Advanced configuration

Most of the configuration is done from FileRun's control panel.

However, there are additional configuration options that can be set from a configuration file.

The PHP file customizables/config.php needs to start with

<?php

on the first line.

If the files does not exist, you can simply create it.

Do not end the file with “?>”.

$config['app']['quick_tags'] = [
	['color' => 'green', 'text' => 'approved'],
	['color' => 'orange', 'text' => 'pending'],
	['color' => 'red', 'text' => 'rejected'],
	'filerun',
	'yellow'
];

Define the quick tags.

$config['app']['ui']['custom_js_url'] = 'http://your-website/your.js';

Sets the name of the file that is used for displaying folder information.

$config['app']['hidden_file_names'][] = "_*";

Hides files and folders who's names are starting with “_”, only in the regular user interface. You can add multiple configuration lines like this one, for various filename patterns. Hidden files and folders will still be visible and accessible via the API, WebDAV and apps. Hidden files and folders can be created and uploaded by users, even if they don't show in the list. Downloading a folder containing hidden files and folders, will not include these files.

$config['thumbs']['limit_file_size'] = 20971520;

If the thumbnail generation requires image resizing, this limits the resizing only to files larger than 20971520 bytes (20MB). ImageMagick can take a lot of hardware resources while trying to process very large files.

$now = new DateTime();$nextWeek = $now->add(new DateInterval('P1W'));
$config['app']['weblinks']['defaults']['expiry'] = $nextWeek->format('Y-m-d');

Force users to type a unique company name at registration.

$config['app']['admin']['users']['delete']['skipHomeFolderSubCheck'] = true;

Allows you to delete one user's home folder when you are deleting the user accounts, even if the user's home folder contains other users' home folders. We recommend you not to use this option, to avoid accidental file loss.

These are the default actions FileRun is e-mailing users about when notifications are enabled.|

Folder to store the trashed files and folders. If your trash folder is on a separate device/partition/file-system, you will probably want to set $config['system']['fm']['use_safe_move'] = true; otherwise you won't be able to delete folders to trash due to a PHP limitation.

$config['path']['thumbnail_cache'] = '/path/with/write/permission/';

Folder to store generated thumbnail data in. Make sure you use an absolute path and avoid an empty value at all costs, as it can lead to inadvertent data loss.
