Install file manager plugin for CKEditor 4
The CKEditor 4 file manager plugin lets you:
- Insert images
- Insert small interactive previews
- Insert image galleries
- Reference files in links or buttons
- Edit images
- Support your current storage
Enable
Find the place in your HTML/JavaScript code where you load CKEditor 4 and enable the file manager add-on in the initialization parameters:
In config.js
Initialization script
CKEDITOR.editorConfig = function(config) {
config.extraPlugins = "file-manager";
config.Flmngr = {
apiKey: "FLMN24RR1234123412341234", // Default free key
// Get free own API key to use with a visual configurator:
// https://flmngr.com/dashboard
};
config.versionCheck = false; // skip its upgrade notice of CKEditor itself
// Toolbar is configured automatically
}
Install the backend
Now you need to install the file manager server-side script somewhere on your server. There is a manual behind the link on how to do it and link the backend with the Flmngr CKEditor plugin.
Ready to use
Customize

We recommend you to register a free own API key to configure Flmngr visually using Dashboard. Or you can configure it by passing API parameters directly. There is also a short FAQ related to CKEditor 4 plugin.
