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 Java Plugins

To add a plugin to CKFinder, upload its .jar file to the WEB-INF/lib folder and add it to the <plugins> element in the XML configuration file (config.xml).

Each plugin is added as a separate <plugin> element, with <name>, <class>, and <params> parameters set accordingly.

<plugins>
	<plugin>
		<name>imageresize</name>
		<class>com.ckfinder.connector.plugins.ImageResize</class>
		<params>
			<param name="smallThumb" value="90x90"></param>
			<param name="mediumThumb" value="120x120"></param> 
			<param name="largeThumb" value="180x180"></param>
		</params>
	</plugin>
</plugins>
