Hello kae,

Firstly congratulation for this great filebrowser ^^

I'm using Symfony php framework to develop a mailing project. For the body input field, I use CKeditor. I managed to integrate kfm 1.4.5 with more or less no problem except one big :s : the return_url if the images is wrong...

Ex:
I get this wrong url : "//home/ken/www/myProject/plugins/myPlugin/web/js/kfm/get.php?id=11
" instead of this : "/myPlugin/js/kfm/get.php?id=11"

My system config:
- Ubuntu
- Symfony 1.4
- Apache 2 with mod_rewrite enabled
- CKeditor

My kfm config:

$kfm_userfiles_address = './../../uploads/images';
$kfm_userfiles_output = '/enaMassMailPlugin/js/kfm/';
$kfm_workdirectory = './../../uploads/cache';

Upload works, thumbnails also etc, except the return url :s

Ps: It worked before with mod_rewrite disabled, and after I activated it, It didn't work anymore...

Please help me !!!

Is your userfiles address something like: http://www.yourdomain.com/kfm/./../../uploads/images
????

Hello everyone, something similar goes wrong here (CKeditor with KFM1.4.5. with nightly version of 3 feb 2010).
Every works, untill I select an image with I hope to get returned in the editor;

There I get something like:
//testweb/ckeditor/plugins/kfm/get.php?id=2

When I delete the first 'forward slash', then it works.
So /testweb/ckeditor/plugins/kfm/get.php?id=2 does work

I found the solution ^^

JosdeNijs, to solve this problem, log in the admin area of KFM, Settings tab, and change the first parameter "kfm_url" by the right url and it will work.

Should be documented by the way :s

This is a difficult issue. I tried to keep everybody satisfied, but I think this will be difficult for these issues. Out of safety reasons the standard value of the file_url setting is secure. This means that the $kfm_userfiles_output setting is not relevant, since file urls are made up with the kfm_url setting/?get.php?file_id=..

Maybe it is best to change the file_url setting back to url. This is a question whether KFM is safe out of the box or not. Please respond to this, since it is an important issue I think.

I think most people prefer to have the URL returned.

There is an alternative solution, which involves a little bit of coding. Let's say that the file is "images/me.jpg", and the id for it is 67.
In secure mode (the default), the URL would be kfm/get.php?id=67, and in file_url mode, it might be 'http://example.com/f/images/me.jpg'

A secure alternative is to return the URL "http://example.com/kfm/get.php/f=images/me.jpg"

In this case, you get the following benefits:
1. files do not need to be located in a specific location, as is true of the file_url solution
2. you can scrap the database and rebuild it without breaking the URL, which is untrue of the ID solution
3. you can cache files from this solution, which you can't do from the ID solution.

how's that?

I have a few hours free this weekend, which I will be spending on KFM bugs. If that's a good solution, I'll write that up and set it as the default.

Nice idea! Maybe the kfm_url setting should be revisited. Adding this setting to the database when it is not set might be a solution for this. In initialize.php:

if(!isset($settings['kfm_url'])){
add to database for user_id=1
}

the current implementation gives problems in the admin area

I prefer the URL to be returned.
Users of KFM shouldn't (in my opinion) be bothered with tech issues like get.php?id=3.
For us techs it's no problem, but users are best helped with the most simple solution there is.

The alternative Kae mentions, sounds great, but I think that I'm not gonna use it, since I prefer the URL method.

I'll work on this tomorrow. I think exposing the file's ID (in get.php?id=3456 (example)) is a mistake and shouldn't be done - it's secure, but it's volatile and not easy to read.

tomorrow morning I'll write the /get.php/f=filename method and set it as default. if you want to use one of the others, you'll be able to set it in the admin.

on a related note; I don't use the admin much myself. I think it's time to start writing an API for administration.

Hi,
I have the same probleme above with the version 1.4.7 of kfm with ckeditor 3.3.1.
I get /myfolder/mypic.jpg instead of myfolder/mypic.jpg.
I already read this and other posts for this problem, but i didn't get it to work.
If there has been a change since Version 1.4.5 why the problem still exists.
Perhaps you're able to help me.

My config:

$kfm_db_type = 'mysql';
$kfm_db_prefix   = 'kfm_';
$kfm_db_host     = ****;
$kfm_db_name     = ****;
$kfm_db_username = ****;
$kfm_db_password = ****;
$kfm_db_port     = '';
$use_kfm_security=false;
$kfm_userfiles_address = 'myserverpath/media/';
$kfm_userfiles_output = '/media/';
$kfm_workdirectory = '.file';
#$kfm_imagemagick_path = '/usr/bin/convert';
$kfm_imagemagick_path = '/usr/bin/cnvert';
$kfm_dont_send_metrics = 0;
$kfm_server_hours_offset = 1;
