CKFinder functionality can be extended with server side plugins. Althought the full source code of CKFinder server connector is available and it can be changed in any way, a much better way of enhancing CKFinder connector is to create a plugin.

The main advantages of plugins are:

  • Upgrades are much easier.
  • The plugin code is in a single place.
  • Plugins can be easily turned off when are not needed anymore.

Common use cases:

  • Adding new server side command (i.e. fileditor and imageresize plugin).
  • Working with uploaded file (i.e. watermark plugin).
  • Extending the information returned by the Init command (i.e. imageresize plugin).
