I solved this, here is the solution. Codeigniter does not use native php sessions.

I thought that I could just do this in my auth login method:

Code:
//session_start(); 

//$_SESSION['isLoggedIn']  = TRUE;

But sadly it did not work. Chances are someone will solve this, as it would be a much easier quick solution.

But anyway this si how I did it below.

I adopted this from someone else who wrote something for CakePHP here:

http://www.webbedit.co.uk/blog_posts/vie...ilemanager

location: application/config/config.php

Code:
$config['uri_protocol']    = "PATH_INFO"; // so that it allows url string

location: imagemanager/cofig.php

Code:
$mcImageManagerConfig['ExternalAuthenticator.external_auth_url'] = "/admi/auth/tinymce_auth"; // location of auth method below

$mcImageManagerConfig['ExternalAuthenticator.secret_key'] = "codeigniter";

location: you/auth/controller

Code:
// I use an auth lib I derived from tank_auth this method below could be called anything

function tinymce_auth() {

        $secretKey = "codeigniter";

    $data['return_url'] = $_REQUEST['return_url'];

        if (!$this->auth_lib->is_logged_in()) die("You are not logged in.");

        $user_id = $this->auth_lib->get_user_id();

        $doc_root = $this->config->item('document_root');

        $data['config'] = array(

        'filesystem.path' => $doc_root.'images/pages/',

        'filesystem.rootpath' => $doc_root.'images/pages/'

          );

      $data['key'] = md5(implode('', array_values($data['config'])) . $secretKey);

      $this->load->view('tinymce_imagemanager_login', $data);

    }

The view:

Code:
&lt;html&gt;

&lt;body&gt;

&lt;form method="post" action="&lt;?php echo $return_url; ?&gt;"&gt;

  &lt;input type="hidden" name="key" value="&lt;?php echo htmlentities($key); ?&gt;" /&gt;

  &lt;?php

    foreach ($config as $key => $value) {

     echo '&lt;input type="hidden" name="' . htmlentities(str_replace('.', '__', $key)) . '" value="' . htmlentities($value) . '" /&gt;';

        }

    ?&gt;

&lt;/form&gt;

&lt;/body&gt;

&lt;/html&gt;

I hope this helps others.

*****

just noticed its not letting me add the needed javascript to the body tag in the view.

You need to add:

onLoad="document.forms[0].submit();"
