Image Uploader without File Browser for CKEditor

This is a simple plugin that replaces the built-in image function in CKEditor. This plugin tries to build CKEditor's image function in Microsoft Word style. You can save the image directly to your server without CKFinder or other file browser.

Installation and Configuration

Front-end configuration

Clone the folder into the plugin folder in CKEditor. Then, activate the plugins by adding extraPlugins either in the following way.

In-Page

CKEDITOR.replace( 'editor1', {
  extraPlugins: 'imageUploader'
});

In config.js

CKEDITOR.editorConfig(function(config) {
  config.extraPlugins = 'imageUploader';
};

After activating the plugin, you need to specify the URL to your server for handling the upload request.

CKEDITOR.editorConfig(function(config) {
  config.uploadUrl = 'TO/YOUR/PATH';
};

The plugins will automatically replace the built-in image function.

Back-end configuration

You need to handle the request in server and send back the typical upload response.

Here is the sample code for NodeJS server.

var multer = require('multer');
upload = multer({ storage: destination });

router.post('TO/YOUR/PATH', upload.any(), function(req, res) {
	// Some operation
	res.send({
		"uploaded": 1,
    	"fileName": "IMAGE.PNG",
    	"url": "PATH/TO/IMAGE"
	})
})

Issue Reported

Uncaught TypeError: fileTools.bindNotifications is not a function (line 16)

This error is due to the absence in fileTools plugin. It can be solved by importing the fileTools back. Please be reminded all the request and response to the server should follow the structure as same as the typical CKEDITOR image upload process.
