CKFinder is a truly flexible tool with a modular structure — the file browser functionality is based on plugins. Some core plugins are necessary for the editor to work or depend on one another, however, others are optional plugins that you can skip when you do not need the functionality that they provide.
If you want to disable some functionality that comes from a CKFinder plugin, you can use the removePlugins setting to prevent the plugin from loading.
// Disable Flash uploads. config.removePlugins = 'flashupload'; // Remove the "Basket" folder from the Folders Pane. config.removePlugins = 'basket'; // Remove the "Help" button. config.removePlugins = 'help'; // Remove all three plugins mentioned above. config.removePlugins = 'help,basket,flashupload';
