imagebrowser is a CKEditor plugin that allows images on the server to be browsed and picked for inclusion into the editor's contents.
This plugin integrates with the image plugin (part of CKEditor), by making it provide a Browse Server button in the Image dialog window (screenshot here).
The way you use it is very similar to imageGetJson in Redactor - you only need to provide a list of images in a JSON format, and the image browser will take care of the rest.
In fact, it uses the same data format as Redactor, allowing for an easy transition between the two editors.
Copy the whole contents of this repository into a new plugins/imagebrowser directory in your CKEditor install.
Enable the plugin by adding it to extraPlugins and specify the imageBrowser_listUrl parameter:
CKEditor.replace('textareaId', {
"extraPlugins": "imagebrowser",
"imageBrowser_listUrl": "/path/to/images_list.json"
});
The imageBrowser_listUrl configuration parameter points to a URL that lists the server's images in a JSON format.
Example:
[
{
"thumb": "/image1_thumb.jpg",
"image": "/image1_200x150.jpg",
"folder": "Small"
},
{
"thumb": "/image2_thumb.jpg",
"image": "/image2_200x150.jpg",
"folder": "Small"
},
{
"thumb": "/image1_thumb.jpg",
"image": "/image1_full.jpg",
"folder": "Large"
},
{
"thumb": "/image2_thumb.jpg",
"image": "/image2_full.jpg",
"folder": "Large"
}
]
The above says that there are 2 image directories ("Small" and "Large") with 2 files in each of them.
The thumb field specifies the relative/absolute path to the image's thumbnail (for preview purposes).
The image field is the relative/absolute path being used when the image gets put into the editor's contents.
The folder field is optional. If omitted, the image list will not be split into categories.
