For those that are having this problem as well, here is what I was able to
do. This took a lot of trial and error on my part!
I have mine in:
app/webroot/js/ckeditor
app/webroot/js/ckfinder
I don't have anything special in my ckeditor config, just the default.
For ckfinder, here is my config:
* Put these lines at the top of the file after the <?php :
* session_name('YOUR SESSION NAME'); - I found that my session name
was NOT 'CAKEPHP' but what I have the cookie named.
* session_start();
* In CheckAuthentication I have:
* if (!empty($_SESSION["Auth"])) {
if(!empty($_SESSION['Auth']['User']['admin'])) {
return true;
}
}
return false;
* The only place that I use ckeditor and ckfinder is in my admin area,
so I not only check
for user logged in, but also for admin privileges as well.
(Although, if it's configured properly
non admin users shouldn't be able to reach that point anyway, just
for added security.)
For the $baseURL:
* $baseURL = '/path_to_cake_app/app/webroot/img/files/' - trailing
slash required!!!
(eg. '/test_dir/app/webroot/img/files/'
* For the default ckfinder directory:
'/path_to_cake_app/app/webroot/js/ckfinder/userfiles/'
* I haven't tried this on my live host yet, but I would think that
simply removing the leading path to the app
would work in a production environment ('/app/webroot/...'), I
should know shortly as I expect to turn this
into production very soon.
For the $baseDir:
* $baseDir = resolveUrl($baseUrl); - this is the default configuration
and works well.
For the view:
* <?php echo $this->Form->input('body', array('id' => 'body', 'class'
=> 'ckeditor', 'label' => false)); ?>
<script type="text/javascript">
var CustomHTML = CKEDITOR.replace( 'body',
{filebrowserBrowseUrl :
'/path_to_cake/app/webroot/js/ckfinder/ckfinder.html',filebrowserWindowWidth
: '1000',filebrowserWindowHeight : '700'}
);
</script>
What I haven't quite figured out is how to turn the label off on the
replaced editor. I have CSS that puts an asterisk (*) after required fields
and it appears at the very bottom right after the editor window. Anyone
have any ideas on how to remove the label from that? I assume it's being
treated as a form field of it's own. I'm not as familiar with JS as I am
PHP and CakePHP.
Any help with that little issue would be appreciated.
Elsewise, I hope this helps.
