Hi,
I am trying to aktivate the file manager for ckeditor.
But it does not work.
Is there some howtos to have a look?

Must I edit any config file to activate it or the activation of extensions is enough?

thank you

Enable the [FCKeditorFileManager] in [Tools] -> [Extensions], and [CKEditor].

Click [Image] button in the CKEditor will open the file manager.

Update the config.php in \ckeditor\filemanager\connector\php\ of your application folder.

Add the extensions in $Config['AllowedExtensions']['File'] and try again.

hi,

thank you. I did the correction.
Now I can see the files such docs and pdf but when select them to upload then I am getting the following error: Invalid file.
I enabled the same file type in PHPMAKER too.
Where should I check?

thanks

When you click the "Image" to open the file manager, it is using its own config, the $Config['AllowedExtensions']['Image'], to determine if the file is valid or not.

So add the extension to $Config['AllowedExtensions']['Image'] then try again.
