Can someone provide an admin interface to choose the file browser we want to use when you are trying to browse the folder in your server? It seems like there is no choice but to use IMCE for this purpose. IMCE is not bad for what it is but if I'm using CKFinder with my WYSIWYG, I want to be consistent in using the same file browser.

quicksketchThis is entirely possible, it just depends on the capabilities of the File Browser being used. The first one we're working on is working with the very pretty Image Browser module: #439212: Integration with Image Browser. I'm not sure if CKeditor's file browser is supported independently of CKeditor, since we need a mechanism to restrict files shown, rather than reading directly from the File System.
If you have a particular file browser in mind, please change the subject of this issue for that particular file browser. FileField Sources already has the "ability" to work with other browsers, it's just a matter of that browser being suitable for re-use and then writing the particular integration.

sainzu commented# Changed the title of the issue.
@quicksketch Yea, CKFinder is developed independently of CKEditor. http://ckfinder.com/
Can you point me in the direction to make the integration with CKFinder? Documentation/APIs anywhere? Or is it something you guys take on?
Comment #3
quicksketchI'd suggest looking at the imce.inc file and basing it off of that. Ultimately, you need to return the FID of the file that will be used on the field, that's the only thing that matters to FileField.
Comment #4
quicksketchI don't plan on adding additional module-dependent sources at this time. This can still theoretically be done with an add-on module, but 4 sources is already a lot to maintain. Considering I personally don't use CKFinder, it's unlikely that I'll be able to support such a feature.

deanflory commentedIs this still not a possibility a year+ later? Just wondering. Seems like there should be some consistency for users. From a visual standpoint, I prefer the look of CKFinder to IMCE as there is clearly about a decade+ difference visually. Thanks!
