// Register in CKFinder factory // config/ckfinder.php 'plugins' => [ 'customLogger' => [ 'class' => App\Plugins\CKFinderLogger::class, 'setup' => function($plugin) $plugin->on('ckfinder.fileUpload', function($event) Log::info('File uploaded: ' . $event->file->getFilename()); ); ] ] 6.3 Custom Thumbnail Generator Implement ThumbnailGeneratorInterface and bind in service provider. 7. Frontend Integration Examples 7.1 Livewire + CKFinder // Livewire component public $selectedImage; public function openFileManager()
window.addEventListener('open-ckfinder', () => CKFinder.modal( chooseFiles: true, onInit: (finder) => finder.on('files:choose', (e) => Livewire.emit('imageSelected', e.data.files.first().getUrl()); ); ); ); Wrap CKFinder in a custom component that emits file URL to parent state. 8. Performance Tuning | Setting | Recommendation | |---------|----------------| | Thumbnail cache | Use separate fast backend (Redis + S3) | | Lazy load | "lazyLoad": true in config | | Predefined folders | Set 'automaticFolderCreation' => false | | Max file size | Enforce at PHP (post_max_size) + CKFinder maxSize | 9. Common Issues & Solutions | Problem | Solution | |---------|----------| | 403 on connector | Check authentication callback + CSRF | | Wrong baseUrl | Use Storage::disk('public')->url() in config | | Image resize fails | GD/Imagick extension missing | | ZIP download empty | PHP zip extension required | | Session conflicts | Stateless auth via JWT? Use 'sessionWriteClose' => true | 10. Advanced Use Cases 10.1 Multi-tenancy 'authentication' => function() $tenant = request()->get('tenant_id'); return auth()->user()->tenant_id === $tenant; , 'backends' => [ 'name' => 'tenant_storage', 'root' => storage_path("app/tenants/$tenant"), ] 10.2 Dynamic ACL based on Model 'accessControl' => function($resourceType, $folderPath) $user = auth()->user(); if ($folderPath === "/users/$user->id") return ['FILE_UPLOAD' => true]; return [];
