Choose ressource type when launch in stand alone

The following will only work for the popup standalone.
You'll need to adjust similar code in the PHP/ASP files to get this running inline.

Open the ckfinder.js file and replace lines 108 to 115:

if ( this.SelectFunction )
{
   var functionName = this.SelectFunction ;
   if ( typeof functionName == 'function' )
      functionName = functionName.toString().match( /function ([^(]+)/ )[1] ;

   url += '?action=js&func=' + functionName ;
}

with this (now lines 108 to 123):

if ( this.resType )
{
   url += '?type=' + this.resType;
}

if ( this.SelectFunction )
{
   var functionName = this.SelectFunction ;
   if ( typeof functionName == 'function' )
      functionName = functionName.toString().match( /function ([^(]+)/ )[1] ;
   if ( this.resType ) {
      url += '&action=js&func=' + functionName ;
   } else {
      url += '?action=js&func=' + functionName ;
   }
}

Now in your popup call you can define the resource type using 'resType', like this
finder.resType = 'Files';
e.g. to set the resource type to Flash:

function BrowseFiles() {
   var finder = new CKFinder() ;
   finder.resType = 'Flash';
   finder.BasePath = '/mycms/ckfinder/' ;
   finder.SelectFunction = SetFileField ;
   finder.Popup() ;
}

I had a major headache trying to work out how to do this, so I hope you find it useful.

@ designstack, thanks!! Just what I was looking for.

@ Wiktor or someone else of the development team, could this be added in the next release as a feature? I wanted to submit this as a feature request, but I couldn't find where to do that...

@anyone By the way, for CKfinder 1.2.3 it are lines 118 - 126 that need to be replaced.

CKFinder 1.3 has been released. It is now possible to control the startup path in CKFinder, I hope you will like it
There are a couple settings available to control the behaviour of CKFinder: RememberLastFolder, StartupPath, StartupFolderExpanded.
More information is available in the documentation.
