The widget uploader can be accessed from <ROOT_URL>/manager/fileUploader.jsp (eg http://infinite.ikanow.com/manager/fileUploader.jsp).
The following URL parameters are supported:
- In order to login with admin privileges (for admins only!), append "?sudo"or "?sudo=true" to the URL (eg http://infinite.ikanow.com/manager/fileUploader.jsp?sudo).
- If you are not logged-in with admin privileges you will only be able to edit your own files, though you will still be able to share files with any communities of which you are a member - this is different to both source management and widget uploading, where you must be a community moderator/owner.
- You can filter to only certain types of file, using "?ext=<type>", where <type> is either "jar" or a MIME type (eg "pdf" for "application/pdf"). The GUI also provides a drop down for performing this from the set of available source or MIME types, so it should not normally be necessary to filter manually this way.
- Practical examples of filtering are described below.
This brings up username and password fields and a login button.
Note that:
- The file uploader shares its cookie with the main GUI, the widget uploader, the source builder, and the person manager - logging into any of them will log into all of them.
Uploading a new file
The above figure shows the tool shortly after log-in.

After log-in, all files you own can be seen from the top drop-down menu (initially called "Upload New File"). If you are a community owner or moderator, all files in your communities can be seen in addition. If you an administrator, all files in the system can be seen.
The "?ext=<type>" URL parameter can be used to filter on file type (or use the filter drop down menu). For example, in the above screen capture, both the SWF and JPEG files corresponding to the listed widgets are shown.
Compare with the following screen capture:
Here we have filtered to only show files with MIME type "x-shockwave-application", and only the SWFs are shown. Conversely, using "ext=gif" would have restricted the drop down to show only the icon files.
