Sample plugin: FileSize (adding new server side command - complete example)
Introduction
Probably the best way to learn new things is to write a code, so let's write a plugin that adds a new server side command to the connector. We'll create a command that returns a size of a given file.
If you're unfamiliar with CKFinder architecture, please take a look at Server Side Integration documentation. Alternatively, just bear in mind that CKFinder is an AJAX application and that the connection between the user interface running in a browser and the server connector is simply made of AJAX calls to the connector. Check AJAX calls in Firebug to better understand CKFinder.
The FileSize plugin should provide a new command named "FileSize", in other words, calling:
/ckfinder/core/connector/{{{ext}}}/connector.{{{ext}}}?command=FileSize&type=Files¤tFolder=%2F&fileName=foobar.jpg
(assuming that foobar.jpg exists) should return a valid XML response:
<Connector resourceType="Files"> <Error number="0"/> <CurrentFolder path="/" url="/ckfinder/userfiles/files/" acl="255"/> <FileSize size="5647"/> </Connector>
