CKFinder is a plugin-based application and as such it can be extended relatively easily.

Enabling JavaScript Plugins

To add a plugin to CKFinder, upload it to the plugins folder and enable it by using the extraPlugins configuration option in the config.js file:

CKFinder.customConfig = function( config )
{
	config.extraPlugins = 'dummy';
};

Enabling ASP.NET Plugins

Step1: Create a reference to .dll file

To add a plugin to CKFinder, create a reference to .dll with a plugin (for example: CKFinder_ImageResize.dll) in your project:

  • manually copy .dll with a plugin (it's in the "ckfinder/plugins/pluginname/bin/Release" directory) to the "bin" directory of your web site
  • or in your Visual Studio.NET project: right-click "References" in the "Solution Explorer", use "Browse" to select dll file from the directory you have saved it in.

Step2: Enable plugin in config.ascx

Enable plugin in the configuration file (config.ascx):

Plugins = new string[] {
	 "CKFinder.Plugins.ImageResize, CKFinder_ImageResize"
};
