CKfinder js Popup

Hi,

I am making a website where I am using CKfinder as a standalone file browser as well as in FCKeditor. I used the javascript popup sample as the base and it worked, however I only want images to be shown, and not all of the files. I know that this can be done by typing '?type=Images' at the end of the url. I was wondering if this can be done by simply passing the type of file to show, eg. Images or Flash, to the '_BuildUrl' function. Is this possible to do?

Also, I saw that there is code in the ckfinder.js file to make an iframe. How do you go about putting this into a page? It would be good to have this, as it definitely looks better.

Any help on this would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Joel

For now, you would have to modify ckfinder.js and adjust it to your needs.

I understand that you want to open CKFinder with the "Browse Server" button in an iframe instead of in a popup.

I have attached a slightly modified popup sample, I hope this is what you wanted to achieve. Unpack and save it as iframe.html in _samples/js directory.

If I open this page directly in a browser it works fine.

If I use the open window javascript the page does not work. It simply wants to close the window. If I click on a link to open the window I get the same results. I am using IE7. Seems like the function is not getting called.

Anybody have an answer to this.

Peace.

Re: CKfinder js Popup

Make sure that you are using the latest version of CKFinder (1.2.3).

If you're still experiencing this problems, try this temporary solution: open files located in the core/js directory (ckfinder_gecko.js, ckfinder_ie.js)

1. Find function bb:

function bb(A){var B=aK.ar+A;B=encodeURI(B).replace('#','%23');switch (ab.dS){case 'fckeditor':case 'js':if (ab.dI) ab.dI(B);break;};if (window.top==window.parent&&window.top.opener){window.top.close();window.top.opener.focus();}};

and remove this code:

if (window.top==window.parent&&window.top.opener){window.top.close();window.top.opener.focus();}

(this code is responsible for closing CKFinder immediately)

2. Find function gE:

function gE(){var A=ao.es('action');switch (A){case 'js':var B=ao.es('func');if (B&&B.length>0){var C=window.parent.opener||window.parent.parent;ab.dI=C[B];};break;default:var D=window.top.opener;if (D&&D['FCK']&&D['SetUrl']){A='fckeditor';ab.dI=D['SetUrl'];}else A=null;};ab.dS=A;};

and change it to:

function gE(){var A=ao.es('action');switch (A){case 'js':var B=ao.es('func');if (B&&B.length>0){var C=window.parent.opener||window.parent.parent;ab.dI=C[B];if(!ab.dI && window.parent.parent) ab.dI=window.parent.parent[B]};break;default:var D=window.top.opener;if (D&&D['FCK']&&D['SetUrl']){A='fckeditor';ab.dI=D['SetUrl'];}else A=null;};ab.dS=A;};

(this should point CKFinder to ShowFileInfo function if it doesn't work)

Let me know if that did the trick.
