Using KFM as a plugin for FCKeditor

  • Unzip KFM into FCKeditor's editor/plugins/ directory
  • rename the kfm-1.x directory to kfm
  • copy configuration.php.dist to configuration.php
  • edit configuration.php to your satisfaction.
    • most variables are already set to a good default.
    • you must configure a database. it can be a database you are already using for some other purpose.
    • to use a database you are already using for some other purpose, set the $kfm_db_prefix variable. that way, tables will be created with that prefix (helps you tell them apart from your other tables).
  • add this to the bottom of your fckconfig.js:
    FCKConfig.Plugins.Add('kfm');
  • important: clear the cache in your browser

That's it - now, when you click "Browse Server" in FCKeditor, KFM should set itself up.

If you get an error that 'error: no writable workpath is specified', then make sure that the directory mentioned in $kfm_userfiles is writable by the web server, as well as all files contained within it.
