[FIXED] Buying SimpleUploads plugin and can't paste image using Google Chrome

Hello !

I've just buy SimpleUploads plugin (the multi-domain licence for 50$) and I upload it in my "plugins" directory and add it as "extraPlugins" in my config.

I could now paste image from my local filer to the editor (by "drag and drop" the file in the editor for example), but it works only using Firefox. I've buy SimpleUploads plugin just to enable the paste image feature in all the supported browser (including Google Chrome) because "imagePaste" plugin doesn't support anything else than Firefox.
What's wrong there please ?

CKeditor version : 4.2.2;
SimpleUploads version : the latest from this day (20140307);
Mozilla Firefox version : 27.0.1;
Google Chrome version : 33.0.1750.146 m;
MS Windows version : Vista 32Bits SP2.

Note : I don't need any upload feature for the moment, so, imo, i don't need to configure anything about the upload things, right ?
Thanks for your help.

In fact, it seems I need to

In fact, it seems I need to configure the "filebrowserUploadUrl" thing and to code a connector "upload.php".

But I don't need a browser, and I can't buy CKfinder :(.

Can I just find a free "upload.php" connector ?

In the page describing all

In the page describing all the features there's this paragraph:

Requirements

The plugin works with CKEditor 3.6 and 4.x, the only requirement is that you have already configured CKEditor to allow file uploads. You can use CKFinder or any other upload system that uses the CKEditor API, even create your own one. I provide a sample basic script for those that need all the details, but it's not advised to use it in production.
There is no restriction on the server, as long as you are able to install a CKEditor plugin and you have configured the QuickUploads in CKEditor you're ready to go.

So yes, you need to have some kind of upload.php script at your server. You must keep in mind that the plugin is designed to work in as many situations as possible, so you can use any server script and store the uploads in any way that you want, but you must store them!

In this repository you can find some basic samples about how to create that upload script, just pick the one that matches your language (I assume that you want the PHP) and edit the variables so it's enabled when the user has been authenticated (you don't want to allow all the attackers to upload files to your server) and adjust the path to the stored files.

For everyone else, please, before paying for a plugin read the requirements and its description, I've stated a zillion times that you need to have the basic upload functionality in CKEditor working, and using the free imagePaste plugin for Firefox is one of the best ways to check that you're ready. If you try to skip these steps then you'll find that things aren't working as you expected.

And BTW, sending me an email is usually a better option instead of posting in a forum expecting that someone can read it and help you.
