TinyBrowser Web File Browser

A custom file browser plugin developed for the popular TinyMCE content editor

TinyBrowser is a file browser featuring an easy to use multiple file upload facility and file edit functions. It was created to compliment the TinyMCE WYSIWYG content editor, which does not include a file browser as standard. TinyBrowser also supports standalone operation, for integration into your web application.

The TinyBrowser plugin has the following features:

  • Integrates as a custom file browser within TinyMCE for image, media and 'all' file types
  • Adobe Flash based file uploader, supporting multiple file selection and upload with file type and size filtering (permission based)
  • Browse files with a list view or as thumbnails (images only)
  • List view has image thumbnail on hover
  • File display order customisable e.g. by name, type, size, date
  • Find function to filter results by search string
  • Display detailed file information such as type, size and dimensions (images only)
  • File deletion facility (permission based)
  • File edit facility (permission based) - rename, resize and rotate (last two images only)
  • File storage location user definable for each file type
  • Optional session control
  • Many user definable settings, all from central configuration file
