CKFinder Not Actually Uploading Images - codeigniter

I am using CKEditor + CKFinder to create a blog post with images in a custom CMS. The issue is that CKFinder isn't actually uploading the images to the directory I have stated in my config file. The path is correct but the uploading doesn't actually take place.
Anyone have experience with this?

Did you follow this guide? You have to set the $baseUrl and $baseDir, and set CheckAuthentication.

Its seems your having difficulty trying to install/config some of the file managers you mention in this post and others.
Might I suggest a really easy file manager to install:
an-open-file-manager-for-ckeditor-3-0
It even lets you take care of your own security/authentication
Initializing is as easy as:
CKEDITOR.replace('wysiwyg', {
filebrowserBrowseUrl: 'ckeditor/Filemanager/index.html'
});

How can I access images into plugin in cakephp 2.*?

I saved my plugin images in here:
app/plugin/my-plugin-name/webroot/img/...
now :
I want to access theme same as $this->Html->image(path)
what is your plan for this?
thx
You can use:
$this->Html->image('My-Plugin-Name.image.png');
See also http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/core-libraries/helpers/html.html#HtmlHelper::image
When I need to include a CSS from a folder outside CSS, I use this, it may work in your case
$this->Html->image(array('../../plugin/my-plugin-name/webroot/img/imagename');
Anyway, you can also use absolute routes
$this->Html->image(APP . 'plugin/my-plugin-name/webroot/img/imagename');

Avoid Direct Download Link of files

I am using Wordpress and Easy Digital Download plugin to sell digital files.
I have the following how-to questions:
How to avoid a user to see or to use direct download link?
How to create a download link that has an expiration like session?
How to secure a wp-contents/uploads folder?
You might be interested in this:
deny direct access to a folder and file by htaccess
simply put a .htaccess file with the content "deny from all" in the folder.
Then only scripts from your webspace should be able to read files from there.
This should be a first step. You would need a php-file serving the data instead of accessing those files directly.
Eg like this: http://www.kavoir.com/2009/05/php-hide-the-real-file-url-and-provide-download-via-a-php-script.html
(as I am not aware of wordpress plugins, maybe just google for them, this explains how to write those in php - if you cant do that youre pretty much stuck to wordpress plugins)
Nah, Nah, Nah... It's easy man update your plugin, and check your settings...
Step 2. You will see in you plugin settings, that it has 24 hours expiration date download link in forwarded email
"WP Secure Links" is WordPress plugin at codecanyon that lets you create a secure link to downloadable files.
http://codecanyon.net/item/wp-secure-links/4418678
http://sixthlife.net/product/wp-secure-links/
for securing the uploads folder needs some good .htaccess work
check the comments section of this, its explained
Still relevant in 2020 so I have written a small plugin that enables secure and temporary downloads in Wordpress:
WP DISPATCHER
It is free and simple. Check it out :)

Magento : CMS upload image fail silently

I am trying to figure out why the tinyMCE WYSIWYG editor in the CMS module of Magento will not upload images. I can create/delete folders but any file will simply not get uploaded, and there seems to be no message as to why the file is not successfully written on the server.
Anyone may have an idea why?
** Update **
I'm using Magento 1.6.2. I have tried to track down the problem and it seems that the controller never gets executed. I have added a line to log the arguments in the uploadAction() action (in Mage_Adminhtml_Cms_Wysiwyg_ImagesController) and nothing gets logged.
This is project inherited from someone else, and was modified to some extend, but nothing seems to point out that this part of Magento would have been touched in anyway by the modifications.
** EDIT**
The project associated with this question has been dropped and I no longer can provide an answer to this question. If anyone can confirm a working answer (as this problem was apparantly common with Magento), I will gladly mark that answer as "accepted".
Otherwise, I will flag this question for removal for the aformentioned reasons.
Thank you.
Other than solutions provided here, it may occur when you use a CDN (or a different domain) for your javascript and media files in admin panel. If you use CDN, use it for your website(s) scope and use your own domain for default scope. It will make your website(s) media and javascript files to be loaded from CDN, and backend's media and javascript files to be loaded from your own domain. This will solve your problem.
There are some known issues with flash image uploader on Magento. Unfortunately when it falls, it falls silently. Here are some cases when smth can break it:
if you try to use it with secured connection using open ssl certificate
if you're using it on server with apache authentication
on some Magento versions with prototype 1.7
I think the latter is your best bet. Maybe you should try to apply the patch from here: http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewthread/4348/P45/#t327010
In my case it was a cross domain problem, and one quite hard to find if you ask me...
What was puzzling me was that the uploader for product images was working like a charm but the one in the CMS section was failing completely silently. We are serving the skin folder from an Amazon S3 bucket, and the flash uploader lives under that folder.
Interestingly enough, our version of Magento (1.7.0.2) is using two different methods to calculate the path to the SWF file, depending whether you are under CMS or Product update.
The CMS file (app/design/adminhtml/default/default/template/cms/browser/content/uploader.phtml) is using the following method to embed the Flash Uploader:
<?php echo $this->getSkinUrl('media/uploader.swf') ?>
While the Product image uploader is using:
<?php echo $this->getUploaderUrl('media/uploader.swf') ?>
In our case, the first one resolves to the AWS S3 url, obviously in a separate domain, while the second one will still reference the local domain's url.
So yeah, the quick, dirty fix would be to replace getSkinUrl for getUploaderUrl in app/design/adminhtml/default/default/template/cms/browser/content/uploader.phtml. Alternatively you can extend the core to load a different template in which you would have replaced that method.
I hope this helps somebody... I wish I had found something like this five days ago when I first stumbled upon the issue :-)
Are you using flash uploader with https? If so, is your secure address in differente domain (usually used in shareds ssl)?
I got some trouble with this. I solved by installing a flash uploader disabler plugin.
You can download the plugin with this downloader key:

I hope it helps.

code igniter framework guidance for beginners

I am just a beginner in code igniter. I have just downloaded the code igniter framework. But i don't know that where should i keep my html, php files and stylesheets, images etc. Is there any procedure to do the things? Please guide me.
CodeIgniter has an awesome user guide that will come with the install you can read through (or read it online at - http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/ ), or you can watch some of the videos on their site - http://codeigniter.com/tutorials/
In comparison to most other frameworks you're going to find they have maybe the smallest learning curve and great documentation. I would also recommend learning basic PHP and getting familiar with your web environment maybe before beginning.
I used these tutorials to help get me started with the framework haven't look back since! http://net.tutsplus.com/sessions/codeigniter-from-scratch/
hi I am a weekend coder and picked up CI about a year ago.
It helped me a lot.
The best tutorial I found was on the IBM's developer site. It runs through putting together a simple application. Admittedly, there's nothing in it about directory and file placement but it helps cement ideas about how models, views and controllers (MVC), and why MVC is so helpful. Because the basic idea is quite simple, it's worth running through a simple CI tutorial again and again till you 'feel' or intuit the basic helpfulness of the setup.
Things like JS, CSS files can be kept in their own folders at the first level of your website folder e.g /js or /css or /images. You ask about PHP files as well. PHP files which you, the coder, write, are either 'views', 'models' or 'controllers'. These go in the folders with those names in the /application folder e.g /application/views/yourview.php or /application/controllers/yourcontroller.php. The CI install comes with a default view file and a default controller, which you are probably already aware of.
The files inside /application/config are important as well. Read the user-guide about tweaking these files. The most obvious tweaks are to database.php to connect to your db, autoload to give automatic use of CI helpers/libraries which you can choose, and to config.php to give CI the name of your website e.g the name you give to '/'.
The file 'index.php' comes with the CI installation (/index.php). You don't need to fiddle with it at all really except to determine the level of error reporting you want ('environment') and that's not a priority at all. But it's important to remember this about index.php - that CI uses it as the essential reference for defining paths to useful folders like CSS or images. So even if your view file is in /application/views, if it refers to an image like a logo.gif in /images for example, the path to it is just /images/logo.gif. It is not anything more complicated like ../../images/logo.gif.
I hope that helps.

Offline version of CodeIgniter user guide is available with CodeIgniter which already downloaded by you.
just extract your CodeIgniter zip file in your localhost server root directory,
Then http://localhost/www/CodeIgniter_2.1.2/user_guide/ open this url with browser ,here you can access offline version of CodeIgniter user guide.
Here I am using wamp server so I used this url, If you are using xampp server then please use http://localhost/CodeIgniter_2.1.2/user_guide/
Okay this is what I would usually do for code igniter
here is my directory structure.
CI App Path (e.g "c:\xampp\htdocs\ci_app_name" )
-application
-system
-assets
--css (new folder , where css files will be included)
--js (javascript and jquery libraries location)
Basic HTML and PHP files should be location
CI_app_pah
-application
--views (this is where to put HTML and PHP files)
For other things such as Controller , Models and Views , you can't put any where but put in their related area.
That will be
CI app
-application
--controllers
--models
--views
