ColdFusion Config File Wont Recognize a session variable.

I am trying to use a session variable of a logged in user (session.user.username) to defined the location of the image, flash and doc files. I keep getting an error that states session.user is undefined. What am I missing? I can confirm that I am logged in elsewhere, but it's not being processed in the CKFinder folder.

config.baseUrl = "/assets/users/#session.user.username#/";

Thanks.

Re: ColdFusion Config File Wont Recognize a session variable.

Make sure that you have created the Application.cfc file in the CKFinder directory:

<cfcomponent displayname="Application" output="false" hint="Pre-page processing for the application">
<cfscript>
THIS.Name = "CKFinder_Connector";
THIS.ApplicationTimeout = "#CreateTimeSpan( 0, 0, 5, 0 )#";
THIS.SessionTimeout = "#CreateTimeSpan(0,0,45,0)#";
THIS.SessionManagement = true;
THIS.SetClientCookies = true;
</cfscript>
</cfcomponent>

Because each Application has its own unique session scope, you will probably have to modify name of the application.
Open:

ckfinder/Application.cfc

ckfinder/core/connector/cfm/Application.cfc

and adjust THIS.Name variable, you should use the same name that your main application uses.

I have modified the documentation so that setting up CKFinder was easier, please take a look at: http://docs.fckeditor.net/CKFinder/Deve ... figuration
If you still have any questions or would like to suggest improvements in documentation, feel free to post your comments here.
