Image and file upload with default actions
Step 1

Let's assume we are using Post model and PostController.

Create "uploads" folder to application root, add write permissions to it and add actions to PostController with default values.

class PostController extends Controller
{
	public function actions()
	{
		return array(
			'fileUpload'=>'ext.redactor.actions.FileUpload',
			'imageUpload'=>'ext.redactor.actions.ImageUpload',
			'imageList'=>'ext.redactor.actions.ImageList',
		);
	}
	...
}

Or let actions create "uploads" folder automatically to application root folder.

class PostController extends Controller
{
	public function actions()
	{
		return array(
			'fileUpload'=>array(
				'class'=>'ext.redactor.actions.FileUpload',
				'uploadCreate'=>true,
			),
			'imageUpload'=>array(
				'class'=>'ext.redactor.actions.ImageUpload',
				'uploadCreate'=>true,
			),
			'imageList'=>array(
				'class'=>'ext.redactor.actions.ImageList',
			),
		);
	}
	...
}

Or add actions to PostController with other custom values.

class PostController extends Controller
{
	public function actions()
	{
		return array(
			'fileUpload'=>array(
				'class'=>'ext.redactor.actions.FileUpload',
				'uploadPath'=>'/path/to/uploads/folder',
				'uploadUrl'=>'/url/to/uploads/folder',
				'uploadCreate'=>true,
				'permissions'=>0755,
			),
			'imageUpload'=>array(
				'class'=>'ext.redactor.actions.ImageUpload',
				'uploadPath'=>'/path/to/uploads/folder',
				'uploadUrl'=>'/url/to/uploads/folder',
				'uploadCreate'=>true,
				'permissions'=>0755,
			),
			'imageList'=>array(
				'class'=>'ext.redactor.actions.ImageList',
				'uploadPath'=>'/path/to/uploads/folder',
				'uploadUrl'=>'/url/to/uploads/folder',
			),
		);
	}
	...
}
Step 2

Add widget to the form view.

$attribute='content';
$this->widget('ext.redactor.ERedactorWidget',array(
	'model'=>$model,
	'attribute'=>$attribute,
	'options'=>array(
		'fileUpload'=>Yii::app()->createUrl('post/fileUpload',array(
			'attr'=>$attribute
		)),
		'fileUploadErrorCallback'=>new CJavaScriptExpression(
			'function(obj,json) { alert(json.error); }'
		),
		'imageUpload'=>Yii::app()->createUrl('post/imageUpload',array(
			'attr'=>$attribute
		)),
		'imageGetJson'=>Yii::app()->createUrl('post/imageList',array(
			'attr'=>$attribute
		)),
		'imageUploadErrorCallback'=>new CJavaScriptExpression(
			'function(obj,json) { alert(json.error); }'
		),
	),
));
