Add-On Type(s)

Extension

Tags

Makes Assets your default file browser, auto-expands subfolders.

This extension uses the cp_menu_array hook to replace the Control Panel link to the default EE File Manager with a link to the Assets module’s file browser.

(The extension checks first to make sure Assets is installed, and also confirms that the user has permissions to access the module in the CP.)

Optionally, the extension also introduces a bit of JavaScript (using the cp_js_end hook) to automatically expand subfolders in the file browser.

(Requires ExpressionEngine 2.2+)

I concur with the other users: simple and effective. Does what it says cleanly and simply. This should be a required extension if you use Assets. Highly recommended (and free!). Thanks!

Forgot this wasn’t part of Assets and submitted a trouble ticket to P&T asking why the Content > Files > File Manager link wasn’t working!
