===== Configuration =====

Before running phpPathFinder you must configure it. 
Enter the ..utillyty.php/pathfinder folder. There are two file you must edit to set configuration:
  * config.php
  * .pfaccess (path-finder access)
Optionally you can change the styling editing the pathfinder.css file.

==== config.php ====

There are 5 configurable global variables in the config.php file:

== PFACCESS ==

Relative path and file name of the .pfaccess auth file.\\
e.g.:

<code>
$PFACCESS = ".pfaccess";
</code>

== TITLE ==

Title of the html page, also displayed in the top of the html document.\\
e.g.:
<code>
$TITLE = "UTillyty $APPNAME";
</code>

== DESCRIPTION ==

Page description (below the login form, left to the list).\\
Can be any html.\\
e.g.:

<code>
$DESCRIPTION = 
"
$APPNAME <br/> v$APPVERSION <br/> demo version 
";
</code>

== SIDENOTE ==

sidenote (right side)

<code>
$SIDENOTE = 
"
put any html inside
"
</code>

<note>
the $APPNAME and $APPVERSION are predefined global vars in the phpPathFinder.php file
</note>

==== .pfaccess ====

There are 8 configurable permission parameters:
  * **root**: the absolute or relative (to phpPathFinder.php) path of the top folder the user can work on (mandatory);
  * **whitelist**: a dot ('.') separated list of file extension the user can work on (default = empty);
  * **blacklist**: a dot ('.') separated list of file extension the user is forbidden to work on (default = empty);
  * **browse**: 0 or 1. if 1 the user can browse files/folders (default = 0)
  * **download**: 0 or 1. if 1 the user can download (default = 0)
  * **edit**: 0 or 1. if 1 the user can copy/move/rename files/folders (default = 0);
  * **remove**: 0 or 1. if 1 the user can delete files/folders (default = 0);
  * **upload**: 0 or 1. if 1 the user can upload files (default = 0);

Only the root parameter is mandatory, all others have defaults.
Each permission is independent from the others

The .pfaccess file store information in records grouped in 4 sections.\\
A section is started with the '@' token.
Each record is a text line with a comma separated name/value list of parameters.\\
Each parameter is in the form: 'name:value'.\\
You can put line comments anywhere in the file, **except the @passwords section**, using the '#' token.\\

== Sections ==

== @default ==
This section contains one record with the default user permissions parameters either for anonymous user, or if a parameter is not explicitly declared neither in the group nor in the user record of a logged user.\\
Syntax:\\
username:@anonymous, group:@anonymous, root: [, browse: , download: , edit: , remove: , upload: , whitelist: , blacklist]
<note important>
'@anonymous' is a RESERVED key value for the @default user username, and group name and will be set automatically by the system. You cannot use this values for users records.
</note>

== @groups ==
This section contains group permissions parameters for logged users.\\
Syntax:\\
username:, group: [, root: , browse: , download: , edit: , remove: , upload: , whitelist: , blacklist]

== @users ==
Each line on this section contains the user's user name and group name. Optionally authorization parameter in the group section can be overridden here.\\
Syntax:\\
name: [, root: , browse: , download: , edit: , remove: , upload: , whitelist: , blacklist]

== @passwords ==
Each line contain a record with username and MD5 encryped password.\\
Syntax:\\
username:MD5password\\

== Precedence ==

When a user log in to phpPathFinder, the system first check the username and password,
than set each the permission parameters with this precedence:
  * the user record in the @users section
  * the group record (where group.name = user.gruopname) in the @groups section
  * the @default record
If no login is provided the @default section parameters are used.

<note>
If you don't want anonymous user not even browse list, remove the browse permission from the @default section (or set it to 0).
</note>

<note important>
Remember to instruct your web server not to allow direct access to the root folder, i.e. by means of an .htaccess file (view .htacees_sample file).
</note>
