Integrating a free file manager into CKEditor

While there is a commercial file manager plugin for CKEditor called CKFinder, WebYep also supports a free alternative. This article will show you how to integrate 'Filemanager' from Core Five Labs.

Before you begin

This document assumes that you are fairly familiar with setting up WebYep and configuring web servers like Apache. It provides step by step instructions, without explaining everything in detail. If you don't know what permissions are, or have no idea what a "document root" might be, or where it is located, you might want to leave the installation/configuration to an experienced administrator.

Installation instructions for CKEditor can be found in the WebYep documentation (RichText element).

Important: since CKEditor and Filemanager are third-party products, we can't provide support for them!
