ckfinder works stand alone but not as part of ckeditor!

Hi, you have to change the config.php file in ckfinder.

function CheckAuthentication()
{
return true;
}

From false to true.

Be very careful about that and use it only (and even it's better to avoid using it at all) while you're testing. If you set it up that way anyone will be able to manage the files at your server.

Yes, that's true, but if you do not change it does not work.

You have to segure the file using sessions, let me show...

<?php
//initialize the session
if (!isset($_SESSION)) {
session_start();
}
/*
* ### CKFinder : Configuration File - Basic Instructions
*
* In a generic usage case, the following tasks must be done to configure
* CKFinder:
* 1. Check the $baseUrl and $baseDir variables;
* 2. If available, paste your license key in the "LicenseKey" setting;
* 3. Create the CheckAuthentication() function that enables CKFinder for authenticated users;
*
* Other settings may be left with their default values, or used to control
* advanced features of CKFinder.
*/

/**
* This function must check the user session to be sure that he/she is
* authorized to upload and access files in the File Browser.
*
* @return boolean
*/
function CheckAuthentication()
{
// WARNING : DO NOT simply return "true". By doing so, you are allowing
// "anyone" to upload and list the files in your server. You must implement
// some kind of session validation here. Even something very simple as...

// return isset($_SESSION['IsAuthorized']) && $_SESSION['IsAuthorized'];

// ... where $_SESSION['IsAuthorized'] is set to "true" as soon as the
// user logs in your system. To be able to use session variables don't
// forget to add session_start() at the top of this file.
if (isset($_SESSION['MM_Username'])) {

return true;
}
}

You have renamed the Images resource type.

Use this command for the integration:

CKFinder.setupCKEditor( editor, '/global-assets/plugins/ckfinder', 'images' ) ;
