Target a specific folder

Hi guys,

I need to target specific folder in CKFinder, I know I can target type o resources using querystring ?type=Images for example, but I need something like ?folder=test which is in Images, is it possible?

Thanks for advice!

Look at the StartupPath property in the docs: http://docs.cksource.com/CKFinder/Devel ... ntegration

Re: Target a specific folder

You mean &type=Images:/folder/? But this seems not to be working in <a href="ckeditor.html&type=Images:/folder/" ... hmm?

No, it's a property of the CKFinder object as you can read in the docs that I've linked.

You haven't explained how you are using CKFinder so it's harder to give you a better answer because I don't know what kind of integration you are using.

Re: Target a specific folder

I am using CKFinder API for integration with CKEditor.
Call in my code

CKFinder.SetupCKEditor(null, \'tools/ckfinder/\');

I know following to documentation that I can specify StartPath in this API call code, but this is not my need.

I have several html links <a href=""> on my site and inside of it, I need to target CKFinder and specific folder using href property.

So I have

<a href="./tools/ckfinder/ckfinder.html?type=Images&langCode=cs">

and I need inside href property something like type=Images:/folder/ but this does not work

Re: Target a specific folder

Creating links that way is not the way that the API is meant to be used, it might work but any update might change something and you'll have to review your code and find out exactly what has been changed.

Instead you should create the CKFinder instances using the API, for example:

   <a href="#" onclick="CKFinder.Popup( { BasePath : '/ckfinder/', StartupPath : 'Images:/test1/', RememberLastFolder : false } ); return false">open CKFinder</a>
