[Feature request] Overwrite without asking?

No, it is not possible now. You must delete file first and then upload it again. It would be rather not secure to allow this - for example if you have hundreds of files you could overwrite accidentally an important file.

I have a step-by-step set of notes on how I was able to get the overwrite working. If you are interested, please contact me. I added a check box so the user has to check the box before uploading... thus making it a 'little' bit safer.

Instructions for PHP:
Open ckfinder\core\connector\php\phpN\CommandHandler\FileUpload.php

After:

$sFilePath = CKFinder_Connector_Utils_FileSystem::combinePaths($sServerDir, $sFileName);

Add the following code:

            if (file_exists($sFilePath)) {
                @unlink($sFilePath);
                $thumbPath = CKFinder_Connector_Utils_FileSystem::combinePaths($this->_currentFolder->getThumbsServerPath(), $sFileName);
                @unlink($thumbPath);                
            }

Hi all, I want to ask if we can overwrite file but we send the notification before we execute

Basically, you want to leave the decision whether the file should be overwritten to the user, is that correct?

No, what I mean is, I want to give the functionality to overwrite the file but, I want to send the notification to the user that user already upload the same file, then it will be overwritten, then user should choose yes or no.

Can you post how I would make this change in Coldfusion and CKFinder 2.2.

Thank you

We would like to have a global option allowing a file overwrite instead of rename on file uploads.  Is this in the product already?  I see that this is an old request....

That option isn't available, but it can be done with a custom connector or plugin. The guys at CKSource can help you with that.
