Multiple "Images" folders

You can have as many folders as you need, simply define additional resource types in the configuration file (config.php / config.cfm / config.asp / config.ascx, depending on your version of CKFinder).

Was a resolution found for this? I need to display a Public folder along with a user folder.

@bsammons - what exactly do you need? Use just a single, different folder for each user?

No, I think he means to get 3 specific folders in the right hand pane of the editor (the folder list).
You could specify the common parent folder for all three dirs, but I think that is not an option.

I have a similar need.

To re-explain this, we have multiple clients and multiple users, and most of them are one to one, but some of them will be one to many. So they're all stored at the same level, and I would like my users with multiple client permissions to be able to view them all at the same time, instead of each client in a separate instance of CKFinder. Is there functionality already built in for this that I have missed, or could we get it for a future upgrade of our app?

I also like this idea I think its strange that in the standalone version you can see the full directory structure but not in ckeditor

I believe that CKFinder can be used in many different ways listed here, it is just a matter of configuring it properly.

Please let me know what exactly is your scenario and server side version of CKFinder and I'll help you out in making your custom configuration file with correct resource type and ACL settings (feel free to send me a PM).

I do not exactly understand, could you explain in details how would you like to have it configured?
Would you like to have (at the same time) read only access to selected folders and write permissions to other folders, depending on which user is logged in?

We have similar needs. Our system serves multiple users, each having its own personnal root folder (in which he uploads whatever files he wants, including images)

But we would like also to add a "public" folder, visible for all users, readonly (they cannot upload)

And all this at the same time, how is it possible, if it is...

Example of folder structure :

.../users1/images/
.../users1/files/
.../users2/images/
.../users2/files/
.../users3/images/
.../users3/files/

.../public/images/
.../public/files/

User 1 would see its own images and do whatever he wants with it, and he would see also public images, but could not modify or upload anything (both at the same time)

Thank you

Let's say I'm logged as user1.

Set basedir / baseUrl in the configuration file to a folder pointing to "/users1/" (e.g. using session variables to access the name of the user in the CKFinder configuration file).
This will ensure that all default resource types (Images/Flash etc.) will point to a subfolder of "/users1/".

Now simply add one more resource type, that will not use baseDir/baseUrl at all (after all they are just helper variables). Set url/dir of that extra resource type ("Public") to a folder pointing to "/public/"

Sorry if this is the wrong thread, but this is another take on multiple image folders problem.  Scenario: User clicks on image icon on CKEditor toolbar and wants to upload an image to one of several directories on the server where images are stored. As it turns out on this server there are various subdirectories called "images" or "img" where images are stored.  In the CKFinder configuration file each of the resourceTypes have been setup correctly by path and url, so that when the image icon is clicked on and the "browse server"  button is clicked on, all of the image folders appear, but all of them are called "Images".  There is no way to tell them apart.  If they are renamed to anything else besides "Images" they do not show up when browsing the server for images.  My question is this:  Is there some way to configure either CKFinder to set an alias to display for the "Images" folder or configure CKEditor to allow other folders besides those with the name "Images" to show when browsing images, so that in either case each "Images" folder that is now listed could have a unique name (e.g., "photos", "cartoons", "icons", etc.)?

I'm using CKEditor 4.0.2 and CKFinder  ColdFusion 2.3.1. The scenario is one user with the need to better navigate many "Images" folders in the Folder pane of the CKFinder window.

The images are processed after form submission for the purposes of storage and retrieval for browser display is a subject of curiosity to some web developers.

I have the same need as maxiwheat explained, I am able to bind both the Folder but unable to set the access control for the public folder, My public folder is outside oth the BaseDir/BaseUrl. i want to make that Public folder as ReadOnly. how to do that?

I need the resolve this anyhow, may be with some work around.

I am trying the Demo, if this does not work I cannot take risk to buy the license!
