Achieved so far:
- I have bought a license of Image Manager and File Manager.
- I have created my own plugin and am able to get the following parameters: action, file1 and file2

What are the next set of steps to be followed ?
Any guidance will be highly appreciated.

1. Open filemanager\plugins\_Template\src\csharp\TemplatePlugin.cs
2. Locate OnFileAction
3. Notice that this method will be called everytime a file is added/removed/renamed etc.
4. Take the _Template plugin and create your own plugin.
5. Add the SQL stuff to the method described in 2 and 3.
6. Compile it to a DLL the dll can be placed in the bin directory in your plugin for example filemanager\plugins\myplugin\bin.
7. Open the filemanager/web.config
8. Add your new plugin to the plugins config section needs to be the name of the class you created in your plugin.

The above steps needs basic .NET development skills also the API documentation is found in filemanager\docs\FileManager_API.chm the different events are described with comments in the _Template plugin as well as in the API documentation.

    if ($action == DELETE_ACTION) {
        echo "File added: name=" . $file1->getName() . ", path: " . $file1->getAbsolutePath() . ", parent: " . $file1->getParent();
    }

    if ($action == RENAME_ACTION) {
        echo "File moved: from name=" . $file1->getName() . ", from path: " . $file1->getAbsolutePath() . ", from parent: " . $file1->getParent();
        echo "File moved: to name=" . $file2->getName() . ", to path: " . $file2->getAbsolutePath() . ", to parent: " . $file2->getParent();
    }

    return true;
}

can you provide me the .net implementation of this code? can you show me how can i write a plugin so that i can store the file name folder name in the database?

thanks,
qamar

function onFileAction(&$man, $action, $file1, $file2) {
    if ($action == ADD_ACTION) {
        echo "File added: name=" . $file1->getName() . ", path: " . $file1->getAbsolutePath() . ", parent: " . $file1->getParent();
    }

    if ($action == DELETE_ACTION) {
        echo "File added: name=" . $file1->getName() . ", path: " . $file1->getAbsolutePath() . ", parent: " . $file1->getParent();
    }

    if ($action == RENAME_ACTION) {
        echo "File moved: from name=" . $file1->getName() . ", from path: " . $file1->getAbsolutePath() . ", from parent: " . $file1->getParent();
        echo "File moved: to name=" . $file2->getName() . ", to path: " . $file2->getAbsolutePath() . ", to parent: " . $file2->getParent();
    }

    return true;
}

This should be enough information for most PHP developers. So you just need to add the SQL queries etc to insert/update the database depending on the action that happened. Check the filemanager/plugin/_Template directory for a baseline plugin.
