Upload tab: resource type not valid msg

I'm trying to implement CKFinder in with CKEditor. When I try and upload a image via the Upload tab I get the error msg:

Resource type is not valid.

If I choose the Image button > Browser Server > Upload btn I can upload a image fine. I'm sure I'm missing some configuration ...

Here's my CKEditor config.js:

config.filebrowserBrowseUrl = '/ckfinder/ckfinder.html';
    config.filebrowserImageBrowseUrl = '/ckfinder/ckfinder.html?Type=Images';
    config.filebrowserFlashBrowseUrl = '/ckfinder/ckfinder.html?Type=Flash';
    config.filebrowserUploadUrl = '/ckfinder/core/connector/php/connector.php?command=QuickUpload&type=Files';
    config.filebrowserImageUploadUrl = '/ckfinder/core/connector/php/connector.php?command=QuickUpload&type=Images';
    config.filebrowserFlashUploadUrl = 'ckfinder/core/connector/php/connector.php?command=QuickUpload&type=Flash';


Let me know if I need to post some other code.
Thnx, MS

Re: Upload tab: resource type not valid msg

Hi,
please check your setting for $config['ResourceType'] array . It looks like you try upload image that are not allowed or supported. What image (extension) do you try upload ?
Please write info about you browser, OS, CKFinder version , server and php version.

Re: Upload tab: resource type not valid msg

@steudel I checked your config and attached image on my host and all works fine.
Please refer to sample file ckfinder/_samples/ckeditor.html. Check your config with this sample and check there how to integrate CKEditor with CKFinder.
Please treat this file as reference to further steps.

Re: Upload tab: resource type not valid msg

Hi Michael,

Thanks again, I ended up moving ckeditor into /ckeditor/ and was able to get everything working.

One thought is that the error message is misleading towards troubleshooting the error ... any thoughts as to why it was kicking that error msg out?

Re: Upload tab: resource type not valid msg

Hi,
I think that it is a standard error message in case of some problems. I am glad that you resolved your issue.

Re: Upload tab: resource type not valid msg

After struggling with this for hours and hours, I found a different solution.

It was the 'name' in the ResourceType. I had changed it from 'Files" to "PDFs". This worked ok in the browse feature, but for some reason in the Upload mode, it kept causing "Resource type is not valid." to appear. So I changed it back to 'Files' and now it works.


$config['ResourceType'][] = Array(
'name' => 'Files', // Single quotes not allowed
'url' => $baseUrl . 'pdfs',
'directory' => $baseDir . 'pdfs',
'maxSize' => 0,

Re: Upload tab: resource type not valid msg

Even if you change the name of the resource type from Files to something else, CKFinder will work fine.
All you need to do is to remember to point CKEditor to the right place once you make such a change (I assume you had problems when running CKFinder together with CKEditor).

// If you remove "Files" resource type, make sure to change "type=Files" (at the end) to the right value

config.filebrowserUploadUrl = '/ckfinder/core/connector/php/connector.php?command=QuickUpload&type=Files';
