Enable Image Upload for PHP


Notice:CKFinder is a great alternative to the built-in filemanager of FCKEditor. CKFinder allows
users to delete, update and rename files. For how to install the CKFinder read "Enable
CKFinder instead of the built-in Filemanger of FCKEditor" in this document.
Open the file FCKEditor/fckconfig.js
Set:

var _FileBrowserLanguage = 'php' ;


var _QuickUploadLanguage = 'php' ;

Open FCKeditor/editor/filemanager/connectors/php/config.php
Replace
$Config['Enabled'] = true ;

by

$Config['Enabled'] = checkUpload();
function checkUpload()
{
session_start();
return (isset($_SESSION['currentUser']));
}

Make sure that the given 'UserFilesPath' folder exists on the server and has write permission.
$Config['UserFilesPath'] = '/UserFiles/' ;

For TestLink we suggest:


$Config['UserFilesPath']='<TL_HOME>/upload_area/fckeditor_upload_area
/';

Replace line:

$Config['UserFilesAbsolutePath'] = '' ;

by
//$Config['UserFilesAbsolutePath'] = '' ;

Open cfg/tl_fckeditor_config.js
Set:
FCKConfig.LinkBrowser = true;
FCKConfig.ImageBrowser = true;
FCKConfig.FlashBrowser = true;

and

FCKConfig.LinkUpload = true;
FCKConfig.ImageUpload = true;
FCKConfig.FlashUpload = true;

if you want to allow Quickupload, which could result in many unsorted uploads.
