CKFinder not passing selected image URL to CKEditor

Hello

I have integrated CKFinder with CKEditor. Each is working individually however if I "Browse Server" from CKEditor and select a file the URL is not passed to the CKEditor "Image Properties" window.

If I select OK from this point (in CKEditor "Image Properties" window) I get the following error message "Image source URL is missing."

My folder structure is -

[my site url]/cms/ckeditor
[my site url]/cms/ckfinder
[my site url]/userfiles/

ckfinder/config.php is left as default except for these settings -

$baseDir = '/home/9-web/96/b2/[my site url]/public/www/userfiles/';
$baseUrl = '/userfiles/';

CKEditor is called from this file -
[my site url]/cms/youreditor.php

with the following code -

CKEDITOR.replace( 'editor1',
   {
   filebrowserBrowseUrl : '/cms/filemgr.inc.php',
   filebrowserImageBrowseUrl : '/cms/filemgr.inc.php?type=Images',
   filebrowserFlashBrowseUrl : '/cms/filemgr.inc.php?type=Flash',
   filebrowserUploadUrl : '/cms/ckfinder/core/connector/php/connector.php?command=QuickUpload&type=Files',
   filebrowserImageUploadUrl : '/cms/ckfinder/core/connector/php/connector.php?command=QuickUpload&type=Images',
   filebrowserFlashUploadUrl : '/cms/ckfinder/core/connector/php/connector.php?command=QuickUpload&type=Flash'
    } 
 );

As stated both work perfectly - it is just this connection that is not working for me. Any help is appreciated.

Regards,

TIM

Re: CKFinder not passing selected image URL to CKEditor

Hi Tim,

What version of CKFinder, CKEditor are you using and in what browser/OS did that happen?
Could you paste here some code how exactly are you creating CKFinder instance?
Does that example work on your computer: _samples/js/ckeditor.html ?

Re: CKFinder not passing selected image URL to CKEditor

Thanks for following this up -

The example you referred to has sorted out the problem (_samples/js/ckeditor.html).

I have now used this code -

        <script type="text/javascript">

         // This is a check for the CKEditor class. If not defined, the paths must be checked.
         if ( typeof CKEDITOR == 'undefined' )
         {
            document.write(
               '<strong><span style="color: #ff0000">Error</span>: CKEditor not found</strong>.' +
               'This sample assumes that CKEditor (not included with CKFinder) is installed in' +
               'the "/ckeditor/" path. If you have it installed in a different place, just edit' +
               'this file, changing the wrong paths in the &lt;head&gt; (line 5) and the "BasePath"' +
               'value (line 32).' ) ;
         }
         else
         {
            var editor = CKEDITOR.replace( 'editor1' );
            //editor.setData( '<p>Just click the <b>Image</b> or <b>Link</b> button, and then <b>&quot;Browse Server&quot;</b>.</p>' );
            
            // Just call CKFinder.SetupCKEditor and pass the CKEditor instance as the first argument.
            // The second parameter (optional), is the path for the CKFinder installation (default = "/ckfinder/").
            CKFinder.SetupCKEditor( editor, 'ckfinder/' ) ;
         
            // It is also possible to pass an object with selected CKFinder properties as a second argument.
            // CKFinder.SetupCKEditor( editor, { BasePath : '../../', RememberLastFolder : false } ) ;   
         }

      </script>

instead of this code -

<script type="text/javascript">         
           //CKEDITOR.replace( 'editor1' );
         
         
          CKEDITOR.replace( 'editor1',
          {
            filebrowserBrowseUrl : '/cms/filemgr.inc.php',
            filebrowserImageBrowseUrl : '/cms/filemgr.inc.php?type=Images',
            filebrowserFlashBrowseUrl : '/cms/filemgr.inc.php?type=Flash',
            filebrowserUploadUrl : '/cms/ckfinder/core/connector/php/connector.php?command=QuickUpload&type=Files',
            filebrowserImageUploadUrl : '/cms/ckfinder/core/connector/php/connector.php?command=QuickUpload&type=Images',
            filebrowserFlashUploadUrl : '/cms/ckfinder/core/connector/php/connector.php?command=QuickUpload&type=Flash'
          } 
          );
         
        </script>

Which has solved my issue - not sure what was causing my problem before but thank for pointing me in the right direction.
