Free image download with CKEditor

Question

I use CKEditor so that users can send beautiful rich texts. The problem is that with the newest version we need to associate it with CKFinder (which requires a license key, if it is deployed) to allow users to "explore the server" or upload images.

Is there any other free plugin than CKFinder? Should I go back to FCKEditor and not to CKEditor?

Answer 1

You can find links to several alternative open source file managers in the CKEditor forums . You just need to find one that matches your requirements for features and server language and has proper support (no big security holes)

Answer 2

I have been looking all day for this good solution. The best I could find was KCFinder ( kcfinder.sunhater.com ). It is free and plays very well. It works as a standalone, and also integrates with TinyMCE, FCKEditor, CKEditor and allows you to configure integration.

Answer 3

You can integrate the free FileBrowser FCKEditor into CKFinder in just a few simple steps.

Checkout my tutorial Integrating FCKEditor FileManager into CKEditor or Demo.

I hope you find this helpful.

Answer 4

Give JASFinder . It is like a free alternative to CKFinder.

Answer 5

JASFinder has a few quirks. Some functions do not work and do not provide a preview image.

Try the KCFinder demo using CKEditor .
