FCK Editor file browser configuration

Posted by john keohane on April 23, 2010 at 11:12am

Hi guys
I have upgraded to the latest version of WYSIWYG module and loaded the FCK editor code into the libraries folder as required. The editor works fine apart from file browsing and image uploading.
In the previous module I had image uploading abilities. Is there a change I need to make to the editor code to get image uploads working with the new WYSIWYG module? How can I enable the built in file borwser.
I can't use other modules to facilitate the image uploading, it has to be the built in file browser.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
John

Have you got the IMCE WYSIWYG Module installed and then added the IMCE button to your toolbar?

Built in filebrowsers are not

Built in filebrowsers are not directly supported by Wysiwyg module as they often don't work well with how uploaded files are handled in Drupal/contrib modules, and they may require more advanced configuration which is not yet possible via Wysiwyg module's GUI.
Why it has to be the built in filebrowser is a bit puzzling to me as I have yet to find an actual use for them together with Drupal, at least not when contrib modules do it pretty good. It should however be possible to enable and use most of them by implementing hook_wysiwyg_editor_settings_alter() in a small custom module to override the editor's settings, or via hook_wysiwyg_plugin(). There may already be a "bridging module" out there doing just that for you though.
