Use CKEditor file browser outside wysiwyg

How can I load CKEditor file browser outside the editor itself. I have a regular textfield and want the file browser to be shown when focus the input and add the image url for the selected image.

CKEditor doesn't include any file browser, so you should refer to the documentation of whatever file browser you are using.

Hi,

Yeah I know that but how do I get the path from the file? When using, any file browser, it will paste the file path to the ckeditor image dialog text field. I just want some help to access the path. Isn't this a js function from ckeditor that handles it?

You can store it with CKEDITOR.tools.addFunction, but I really think that you're using the wrong approach. The file browser should have some simpler way to use it instead of faking that you're calling it from CKEditor.

Can you post the code here somewhere? I have no idea how to implement this, and I need it as well.
