Installing CKFinder
August 05, 2011, 12:26:46 pm
I am running Drupal 6.22 and CiviCRM 3.3.6 and was trying to simplify adding and browsing for images when building emails in CiviMail. I came across CKFinder wanted to give it a try. If it works I will certainly pay the $70 as it would be will worth it. I am not sure how to install it though. It's my understanding that CiviCRM and Drupal use different instances of CKEditor so I am at a lose as to what to do with the tar.gz file that I downloaded.

Any advise would be appreciated.

Thanks

I tried using the following instructions:
http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC32/Adding+CKFinder+with+Authentication+to+CiviCRM
But where it said
Quote
Find the function toHTML(). Find the line that contains CKEDITOR.replace( '{$name}' ); It is line 72 in the current version. Edit this line, adding new lines following. Be sure to add the comma after '{$name}' as this is logically all one line to javascript:
Code: [Select]
CKEDITOR.replace( '{$name}',
  {
    filebrowserBrowseUrl : '/sites/all/civicrm_overrides/ckfinder/ckfinder.html',
    filebrowserImageBrowseUrl : '/sites/all/civicrm_overrides/ckfinder/ckfinder.html?type=Images',
    filebrowserImageUploadUrl : '/sites/all/civicrm_overrides/ckfinder/core/connector/php/connector.php?command=QuickUpload&type=Images'
  });I did not have a line that read
Code: [Select]
CKEDITOR.replace( '{$name}',but I did have one that read
Code: [Select]
CKEDITOR.replace( '{$elementId}' ),So I'm not sure what to do in this situation.

There is an opensource alternative for CKFinder, check this issue: http://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-8433

I appreciate the response. I looked at KCFinder but things looked like they got pretty complicated with the setup. I would, at this point, be more comfortable using CKFinder if I only knew where to install it. My previously referenced instructions are outdated; are you aware of anything more current?

Thanks.

This, http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC40/Adding+CKFinder+with+Authentication+to+CiviCRM, is what I was looking for. Seems to work well but I'm having issues with the permissions.
