FCKEditor in Coldfusion
I began using FCKEditor long before it was included with Coldfusion. I've continued to use my own implemenation even after the release of Coldfusion 8.
There was a vulnerability found in the included FCKEditor: http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb09-09.html
I applied the patch to my server and it also broke my own FCKEditor instance. I received "403 Access Denied" errors when using the FCKEditor file browser. After much time and effort the solution is pretty simple:
Add this to your JVM args in jvm.config: -Dcoldfusion.fckupload=true
***CAREFUL about copying and pasting the text above. Hidden carriage returns will cause CF to fail on startup.***
Even if you are not using the Coldfusion FCKEditor you still need to enable FCKEditor uploads. The updated JAR must have a built-in request filter for "filemanager".
Your fix worked beautifully. Thanks!
Is there any way you could email me a coply of your
fckeditor folder so I can see what you've changed to
get the file manager to work. I do not allow uploading
period within FCKeditor, but do want to allow browsing
of a predefined IMAGE directory to view/insert images.
I have tried all sorts of fixes but still cannot get it to
work. I am good with Coldfusion, just not to swift with
Java and Jaqvascript.
Not sure I still have an instance of FCKEditor sitting around. I've upgraded all my instances to CKEditor (http://ckeditor.com/). I'd be happy to pass along the CF based file browser I made to operate with CKEditor.
Thank You
