Re: specifying BaseUrl and BaseDir dynamically

Just like I suggested in viewtopic.php?f=10&t=24951&p=63877#p63877 , you can specify a different id for each situation and in the config.asp switch between the different BaseUrl and BaseDir based on request("id")

for javascript integration:
http://docs.cksource.com/ckfinder_2.x_a ... onfig.html

         // You can use the "CKFinder" class to render CKFinder in a page:
         var finder = new CKFinder();
         finder.id = 334; <------

         // The path for the installation of CKFinder (default = "/ckfinder/").
         finder.basePath = '../';
         // The default height is 400.
         finder.height = 600;
         // This is a sample function which is called when a file is selected in CKFinder.
         finder.selectActionFunction = showFileInfo;
         finder.create();

Re: specifying BaseUrl and BaseDir dynamically

Hi,
Thank you for the response.

I am doing integration like this

<% Dim oCKEditor
Set oCKEditor = New CKEditor
oCKEditor.BasePath = "/ckeditor/"
CKFinder_SetupCKEditor oCKEditor, "", empty, empty
oCKEditor.editor "CKEditor1", initialValue
%>

how can i set id of CKFinder here ?
or if I put your script in , what changes should i do to make it work ?
I think the way you say. I will have to create separate instance. then how can i integrate ckfinder with ckeditor?

My BaseUrl changes based on user login. It is not fixed .
e.g. if user with id 1 of compnay 1 has logined then baseUrl = /Images/company1/user/1/
if user with id 5 of compnay 2 has logined then baseUrl = /Images/company2/user/5/

Can you please help me here?

Thank you again,

Amitkumar

Re: specifying BaseUrl and BaseDir dynamically

If the path is fixed for each user, then you can set the paths in config.asp based on the user, you don't need any extra info sent with each CKFinder instance.

Re: specifying BaseUrl and BaseDir dynamically

In order to pass a path with querystring you have to store that path somewhere. So if you know that path while creating the CKFinder instance for that user, why can't you use that same code in config.asp?

baseUrl = "/images/Company" & session("company") & "/user/" & session("user") & "/"

or
if session("User")=1 and session("company")=1 then
baseUrl = "/images/company1/user/1/"
else
etc...

In any event, be very careful about your ideas on passing a path with the querystring because you could open a huge security hole: an evil user could use any tool to modify the path that it's sent back to the server and he would get access to any folder in the server.

Re: specifying BaseUrl and BaseDir dynamically

Actually I dont want to use session and thats the reason why i am looking for a way to pass it by querystring.

I was trying to do manual integration using javascript
and I am facing some problem for which i have posted question here:
viewtopic.php?f=10&t=24946

if you can help me there , then also i can find my workaround for this problem.

also can I pass id or extra questring parameters in all those url and retrive its value in config.asp ? if yes then
what is the code to retrive those paramters in config.asp?
I am asking this because i read post here :
viewtopic.php?f=10&t=22552
