This website App for ownCloud provides lightweight file browsing and text file display.
A text-only interface can be much faster than scrolling an infinite river of files or downloading a text file into a separate app just to see it.
Security may be improved if this helps you avoid saving files to a public or mobile device.
- The file path must be
/var/www/owncloud/apps/files_textviewer/
or equivalent. The name of the leaf directory should not be changed. - Copy or checkout all of the files to the correct path.
- Verify correct ownership and permissions for the files_textviewer directory.
- Log in to ownCloud as an administrator.
- In your user menu, click "Settings".
- Click "Apps".
- Click "Show disabled apps".
- Find the Text File Viewer tile and click "Enable".
Each file is assumed to be either UTF-8 or Windows-1252 encoded. This will not work with other types of text files.
