Allowed/Denied extensions for subfolders

I am looking for a way to allow only document types (.doc, .pdf, ...) to be uploaded to "document" subfolders and image types (.gif, .jpeg, ...) to be uploaded to "images" subfolders. In other words, I need something that acts like allowed/denied extensions in the accessControl structure. Is there some technique that I am missing that could accomplish this? I am using ColdFusion with application variables enabled.

Re: Allowed/Denied extensions for subfolders

To achieve this, you would have to change at least one file in CKFinder. In it's simplest form, it could be done this way:
Edit Core/FolderHandler.cfc and adjust checkSingleExtension function to your needs.

var i=1;
var lcaseExt = lcase(ARGUMENTS.ext);

//*** CUSTOM CODE START ***
//check the extension depending on the location
var folderPath = "";
var pathParts = "";

folderPath = APPLICATION.CreateCFC("Utils.Misc").TrimChar(THIS.clientPath, '/');
pathParts = listtoarray(folderPath, '/');

//loop through pathParts, if any element equals "images" and the extension is not "jpg", return false
...
//*** CUSTOM CODE END ***

//do the rest as ususal
if (arrayLen(THIS.deniedExtensions)) {
   for(i=1;i lte arrayLen(THIS.deniedExtensions);i=i+1) {
...

Re: Allowed/Denied extensions for subfolders

Wiktor,

Thanks for the reply. I implemented your suggestion but am having an issue. When I try to upload a file that does not have a sub-folder specific allowed extension, a couple JavaScript errors are thrown. Here's the code chunk that I wiggled into checkSingleExtension:

//*** CUSTOM CODE START - WW/GJR***
//check the extension depending on the location
var currentfolderPath = "";
var pathParts = arrayNew(1);

//set specific allowed extensions for "images" and "documents"
var ImagesExtList = "bmp,gif,jpeg,jpg,png";
var DocumentsExtList = "doc,pdf,txt,xls";

currentfolderPath = APPLICATION.CreateCFC("Utils.Misc").TrimChar(THIS.clientPath, '/');
pathParts = listtoarray(currentfolderPath, '/');

//loop through pathParts, if any element equals "images" and the extension is not "jpg", return false
      for(j=1;j lte arrayLen(pathParts);j=j+1)
      {
         if (pathParts[j] eq "images")
         {
            if (not ListFindNoCase(ImagesExtList, lcaseExt))
            {
               return false;
            }
         }
         if (pathParts[j] eq "documents")
         {
            if (not ListFindNoCase(DocumentsExtList, lcaseExt))
            {
               return false;
            }
         } 
      }
//*** CUSTOM CODE END ***

Re: Allowed/Denied extensions for subfolders

Hmm I'm also having this issue, try the following solution (I assume that you are using IE):

Open ckfinder\core\js\ckfinder_ie.js
replace all occurences of

$(

with

document.getElementById(

and clear browsers cache.

Let me know if that solved the problem.
