Enabling
The first step you should take in order to configure your CKFinder is enabling it. This option is essential for the program to work properly.
You should enable this option by setting it to true:
CheckAuthentication = true
License
If you purchased CKFinder you should put your license key in the config.php file:
CKFinder_Config.Add "LicenseName", "" CKFinder_Config.Add "LicenseKey", ""
If you leave this fields blank CKFinder will be fully functional but it will be ruining in demo mode.
baseUrl
The baseUrl is the base path used to build the final URL for the resources handled in CKFinder. Examples:
baseUrl = "http://example.com/ckfinder/files/" baseUrl = "/userfiles/"
If you leave this field empty the default value (/userfiles/) will be used. Notice that the trailing slash is required.
baseDir
The baseDir is the path to the local directory (in the server) which points to the above baseUrl URL. This is the path used by CKFinder to handle the files in the server. Full write permissions must be granted to this directory. Examples:
You may point it to a directory directly:
baseDir = "/home/login/public_html/ckfinder/files/" baseDir = "C:\SiteDir\CKFinder\userfiles\"
Or you may let CKFinder discover the path, based on baseUrl:
baseDir = server.MapPath(baseUrl) & "\"
Remember that CKFinder will only discover the path when the base url is a local web path ( relative to document root ).
Example:
baseUrl = "/userfiles/"
If it is a full URL address.
Example:
baseUrl = "http://example.com/ckfinder/files/"
the path won't be discovered. Notice that the trailing slash is required.
