                    'class' => 'ext.elFinder.ElFinderConnectorAction',
                    'settings' => array(
                        'root' => Yii::getPathOfAlias('webroot') . '/uploads/',
                        'URL' => Yii::app()->baseUrl . '/uploads/',
                        'rootAlias' => 'Home',
                        'mimeDetect' => 'none'
                    )
