How to include CKeditor which is outside of your document root

Question

Hi,

Is it possible to use CKeditor which resides outside of your document root inside document root application?

For e.g. I am having directory structure like:

    My Documentroot

    C://xampp/htdocs/example.com

    My CKeditor is outside and parallel to document root say

    C://xampp/lib/ckeditor

How can I call ckeditor.js which is in C://xampp/lib/ckeditor/ckeditor in my application page in C://xampp/htdocs/example.com/editor.php

Answer 1

../../lib/ckeditor/ckeditor

../ is the parent directory.

Answer 2

Since CKEditor is Javascript it HAS to reside somewhere in your document root, otherwise you won't be able to include it.

Answer 3

If you're on Apache, you could set up an Alias in your site's VirtualHost section in httpd.conf (or httpd-vhosts.conf):

Alias /ckeditor C:/xampp/lib/ckeditor

as @wimvds says, the file must be accessible to the browser somehow.
