Introduction

Before reading this section, please read the installation and configuration instructions and make sure that the examples located in the _samples directory are working correctly.

The _samples directory contains HTML files with examples of launching CKFinder by using the JavaScript code as well as a php folder with examples of launching CKFinder by using the PHP language.

The following files are used when either the JavaScript or the PHP method of launching CKFinder is used:

  • ckfinder.js in case of the JavaScript integration method,
  • ckfinder_v1.js in case of JavaScript V1 integration method (useful when migrating from CKFinder 1.x),
  • ckfinder.php in case of the PHP integration method.

Example

In order to launch CKFinder, you need to do three things:

  • Create an instance of the CKFinder class.
  • Assign CKFinder properties.
  • Call the Create() method.

An example of creating CKFinder using a PHP class:

<?php
$finder = new CKFinder() ;
$finder->BasePath = '/ckfinder/' ;
$finder->SelectFunction = 'ShowFileInfo' ;
$finder->Width = 800 ;
$finder->Create() ;
?>

For a full working example please refer to the _samples directory of the installation package.

Integration methods

  • JavaScript integration – the preferred integration method, simple yet powerful.
  • JavaScript integration (V1) – the old "V1" way, useful when migrating from CKFinder 1.x because it makes it possible to reuse existing code.
  • PHP integration – if you have not worked with JavaScript before or the JavaScript integration seems to be too complicated, it might be the way to go for you.
