2. Extract files and copy them to path_to_Zikula_root/modules/Files
3. Copy path_to_Zikula_root/modules/Files/Resources/extras/file.php to path_to_Zikula_root/file.php

Module configuration

1. Simply install the module and run it.
2. Default configuration use zikulaDataFolder to store files. Then module creates usersFiles (into zikulaDataFolder) to store users files. There will be one folder for each user (for example zikulaDataFolder/usersFiles/a/admin)
3. The users folder (usersFiles) is easily changeable from module administration.
4. You can change the main folder (default value zikulaDataFolder) in config.php
   • You can define $ZConfig['FilesModule']['folderPath'] with an alternative route (the path needs an real and writeable folder)
   • For multisites ($ZConfig['Multisites']['multi'] = 1) you need a more complex configuration. Then you must define two more vars. The path will be $ZConfig['Multisites']['filesRealPath'] . '/' . $ZConfig['Multisites']['siteFilesFolder']
5. If you use Àgora project, you must define $ZConfig['iwmodules']['agora'] = true to use agora functions
6. You can use Files plugin in you html editor. Then write Scribite info. You can use version 4.3 or 5.x (or both versions, cloning scribite module)
