I came across this problem while fixing another, here's how I fixed it:
remove the & (by reference) from the $params variable from the afterLoad function in the following files:
JOOMLA_PATH\plugins\editors\jckeditor\includes\ckeditor\plugins\editor\client.php
JOOMLA_PATH\plugins\editors\jckeditor\includes\ckeditor\plugins\editor\sigparameters.php
JOOMLA_PATH\plugins\editors\jckeditor\includes\ckeditor\plugins\editor\parameters.php
JOOMLA_PATH\plugins\editors\jckeditor\includes\ckeditor\plugins\editor\allvideosparameters.php

Ensure
display_errors = Off
in php.ini

It doesn't work for me either.

File permissions are good :
1. Joomla's index.php file - 644
2. Joomla's configuration.php file - 644
3. Joomla's plugins folder - 775
4. jckeditor plugins folder - 775
5. Folder with the files - 777

I tried the connector.php file too. Doesn't work :

I see the folders when I load the File Manager (for images or files), but when I navigate through folders, I can't see any files and I can't upload either...



Does the folder need to be called "Files" because, at the moment, my "files" folder is named "documents".

Any other idea ?

Hi T.Wii

Thanks for your investigative work and hotfix. However, there are case where you do want to pass the parameter object by reference rather than by value.

I have attached a patch file for you to try

Changed parameters back to by reference, installed patch and it works. This also fixes the original issues I was having with the AllVideos plug-in not removing the path from the file name, and the file browser authentication saying it was disabled when it shouldn't. Thank you..

Installed the hotfix and connector.php. Nothing showing in the File Manager. No errors

Joomla recommended chmod settings are 755 for folders and 644 for files

Please make sure all your files and folders are set to those settings and try again

tried that. still no dice. This is rather bothersome.

I am having the same problem. I have used this editor on several other sites with no issues, but this last install is so frustrating.

Is there not an easier way to do this? I even tried back installing an older version and it won't open as editor at all.

Hello, I have this same error.

This is on a live server with my webhost. As such I don't have access to php.ini
I'm using Joomla 1.5.20 and JCK 3.3.1. My webhost is a fairly standard shared setup and I have had no other permission issues or problems installing any other plugins.


I have tried changing the error reporting to both 'simple' and 'none' - neither worked.
Therefore I will now be using the JCE editor for the current site I am working on. I'm sorry that I have to do this. I have been a long time supporter of and advocate for the Joomla FCK and now CK editors, however until a suitable and simple resolution is provided to this problem I won't be able to use this editor. IT SHOULD WORK OUT OF THE BOX.

The recommended chmod as docs.joomla.org/What_are_the_recommended...ctory_permissions%3F will allow the file manager to work out of the box. but unfortunatley we are not responsible for the set up off file pemissions on your web hosts server. And in some cases you have to set them as 777 for directores and 666 for files!

I had same problem with Joomla 1.5.20 & 3.3.1 and it was a stupid problem, i have a lot of PDFs inside files/PDF/2010 folder, if one of them has local (regional) caracters in its name, the filebrowser fails and shows a empty windows, example, a folder with this files will be showed ok:

uno.pdf
dos.pdf

if you change for:

úno.pdf
dos.pdf

filebrowser shows a empty windows (no files).
