Using Third Party Components

ownCloud uses some third party PHP components to provide some of its functionality. These components are part of the software package and are contained in the /3rdparty folder.

Managing Third Party Parameters

When using third party components, keep the following parameters in mind:

  • 3rdpartyroot – Specifies the location of the 3rd-party folder. To change the default location of this folder, you can use this parameter to define the absolute file system path to the folder location.
  • 3rdpartyurl – Specifies the http web path to the 3rdpartyroot folder, starting at the ownCloud web root.

An example of what these parameters might look like is as follows:

<?php

"3rdpartyroot" => OC::$SERVERROOT."/3rdparty",
"3rdpartyurl"  => "/3rdparty",
