JavaScript integration

The JavaScript integration method is the most powerful. There are several ways to integrate CKFinder into your pages. This page presents the most common way to achieve it.

Step 1: Loading CKFinder

CKFinder is a JavaScript application. To load it, you just need to include a single file reference at your page. Supposing that you have [[CKFinder_2.x/Developers_Guide/{{{language}}}/Installation|installed]] CKFinder at the "ckfinder" directory at the root of your web site, here you have an example: 

<head>
	...
	<script type="text/javascript" src="/ckfinder/ckfinder.js"></script>
</head>

With the above file loaded, the CKFinder JavaScript API is ready to be used.

Step 2: Creating an Application Instance

Next thing to do, to have the CKFinder up & running, is creating an application instance: 

<script type="text/javascript">
var finder = new CKFinder();
finder.basePath = '/ckfinder/';
finder.create();
</script>

(put this code anywhere inside of the <body> tag). For an example please check the standalone sample distributed with CKFinder (_samples/js/standalone.html).
