Server side integration - File Browser

[Wiktor Walc]

Port the file browser from V2.

[Wiktor Walc]

In the 2873_test_plugin.zip file there is a dummy plugin just to help in testing the filebrowser plugin, it will a blank button to the toolbar (...).

Files from 2873_images.zip should be copied into _source\plugins\filebrowser directory.

Some probably ugly things:

• I had to style some elements in the dialog box, I have done it with the style tag which is rather a bad idea.
• Two global functions are registered: SetUrl and OnUploadCompleted to connect with the external file browser / file uploader.
• Some variables are stored in [editor_instance].plugins.filebrowser, I'm not sure whether it's the best place to put those variables/functions.

For a better understanding of this plugin the filebrowsertest plugin may come in handy.

It is possible to use the external file browser either by setting these variables:

CKEDITOR.config.filebrowser_browse_url
CKEDITOR.config.filebrowser_upload_url

or by setting the filebrowser.url attribute for a specific UI element:

  filebrowser : 
  {
  	action : 'Browse',
  	url : '/ckfinder/ckfinder.html?action=js&func=SetUrl&thumbFunc=SetUrl&type=Images',
  	updateOnSelect : ['tab1', 'id10']
  }
  filebrowser : 
  { 
  	action : 'QuickUpload', 
  	url : '/ckfinder/core/connector/php/connector.php?command=QuickUpload&type=Files',
  	updateOnUpload : ['tab1', 'id10'] 
  },  

Because there is a possibility that someone might want to use two or more different file browsers at the same time in CKEditor, the filebrowser plugin will attach itself automatically only to the elements with the following IDs: 'browse', 'uploadButton', 'url'.

At this time, we're not likely to have the file browser in CKEditor.
