Integrate elFinder and CKEdit for offline use
Project detail
Our nonprofit organization seeks someone with serious Javascript skills to develop an offline Web editor and advise us on best practices..
Basically, this task involves downloading the elFinder and CKEdit, installing then in adjacent folders, linking them using the existing hooks, and making a handful of changes in how the file details are displayed to the end user.
Please note: since this is an offline app, all the linked scripts and CSS files need to be downloaded and included in the offline package. Our patrons do not have Internet access.
Customizations include altering and reformatting the file details view (ditch FileType and shorten the file Date format.) I’d like to see View and Edit icons for each file in the list.
I’d also like to investigate how we might use more colorful icons to express file type in elFinder and to populate the CKEditor toolbar.
Most importantly, documenting the whole process so that others can update their installations in the future. (Sure, some steps may change over time, but we want start with good documentation that can itself be updated…)
We use Uniform Server, our choice for a WAMP platform, to test out the code.
