On behalf on every other person on the earth but Blaine, I beg you Blaine to explain the file manager part better.

Right now, I feel I have a better change of building a nuclear bomb than finding out how to upload a file in this editor. Is this a test? Are you supposed to be a nobel prize winner to be able to upload a file?

So fine, I've pressed full screen. Fine, I've pressed "link". But now what? The "Browse" button doesn't do a thing! Nada! Nothing!
I should mention it insists on being in Hebrew, although I've set my browser on "en-us".

Now let's supposed it worked. Is this even a browser or an upload button? If the former, how am I supposed to upload through a browse button?

The same of course goes to the image too. But nevertheless, shouldn't it select, say, pdf.gif automatically...?

Please, Blaine, please - just write a manual on how to upload a file!

Hey, LWC, I know you are almost as smart as a noble prize winner, but I am having no problem with uploading files or images. So you might not be speaking on behalf of everyone.

Did you set the images/library/* folders to writeable? Have you tried with different browsers?

With IE you have to allow popup for the upload to work.

After pressing the "Browse Server" button, a new window pops up, which shows the current files in the server, and at the bottom there are links and buttons for you to create new folders, browse your computer, and, yes, there is an upload button for you to upload.

Hi

Maybe different setting on the cvs to the release ? - I changed line 176 of fckconfig.js from cvs to true for uploads to work.

FCKConfig.LinkUpload = true ;

Another trick for young (maybe older in this case) players is to click the link in the correct toolbar (sigh)

thanks Blaine for this work and the article - fantastic

That part is actually commented out. But nevertheless, do you remember I can't even click the browse button?

I've done a lot of tests and came up with this:

demo.geeklog.net - out of 4 supposedly identical XP systems (in all of which I've enabled popups for demo.geeklog.net - I usually expect a prompt) only in 1 could I press the browse button and a window has actually opened (although it didn't let me upload - invalid XML whatever - I guess you blocked it).

To make sure they're identical in their IE settings, I've even put demo.geeklog.net in the Trusted sites...it made no difference.

My own site - out of the same 4 systems, none of them opened up a window when I clicked the browse button!

I've tried chmodding 777 to images/, images/library/, everything inside the latter - still nothing (although I don't think 777 has anything to do with actually opening up the window).

Samstone, I now know how you felt when you couldn't work the multilingual hack!

I'd like to add that I have no problem doing all of this in the official FCKeditor's demo - I don't even have to enable popups! So it must be something about Geeklog.

My only system in which it Geeklog's FCKeditor works (and only in the demo site) has Java Virtual Machine. Can it be related? Please don't tell me that's a requirement...

The FCKeditor demo site is most likey not using the mcpuk Image Browser. When I first started the integration of the FCKeditor, the default image browser had major issues and I only had success with integrating the mcpuk version. This was about 6 months ago and since then I understand the integrated version has improved. I was not about to then back track and remove/replace and re-test as we were well ahead in the Release Plan for 1.4 and was not seeing any issues.

I don't know if that's why your seeing a difference with the FCKeditor demo site vs our GL Demo site or if both versions may have an issue with using a proxy.

No it doesn't because I use the proxy over there without a scratch.

The tone of your posts sure don't encourage me to want to respond and help ;)

Anyway it would appear most users are not having an issue as I have not seen many questions on this and either it's not being used or there are few questions.

That aside, I have installed and tested the integrated FCKEditor on several clean GL 1.4 installations including hosted environments. I just tested the demo site and had no issues with the 'browse button' appearing but was not able to upload a file/image because of directory permissions. I've updated the perms on the demo site now and was able to complete without issue - editing a story and uploading a file which was then referenced via an icon like my example article shows above.

You may want to try enabling the extra debugging for the Image Library Plugin PHP Connector. Edit the public_html\fckeditor\editor\filemanager\browser\mcpuk\connectors\php\config.php file. Around Line 190 is a section for the Debugging Options. Set all the Debug options to true. Once you get an error, look a the debug trace file under your GL logs directory.

Sorry, didn't mean to upset you. It just drives me crazy - especially since I have no problem in the official FCKEditor demo.

Here goes: I've told IE to bypass my proxy for my site and suddenly it works even without enabling IE's popups.

But what bothers it about my proxy I can't tell because the debug file is only created with the proxy bypassed (when it's less needed...)!

However, my server's own error log shows interesting things:
[error] Directory index forbidden by rule: /var/www/html/fckeditor/editor/dialog/
[error] [client 84.110.23.58] File does not exist: /var/www/html/403.shtml

And here's what I get when when the proxy is bypassed:

After loading the form.
[error] Directory index forbidden by rule: /var/www/html/fckeditor/editor/
[error] File does not exist: /var/www/html/403.shtml

After going full screen:
[error] Directory index forbidden by rule: /var/www/html/fckeditor/editor/dialog/
[error] File does not exist: /var/www/html/403.shtml

After clicking "browse":
[error] PHP Warning: file(/var/www/geeklog/logs/fck.dbg) [<a href='function.file'>function.file</a>]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/html/fckeditor/editor/filemanager/browser/mcpuk/connectors/php/connector.php on line 30
[error] PHP Warning: implode() [<a href='function.implode'>function.implode</a>]: Bad arguments. in /var/www/html/fckeditor/editor/filemanager/browser/mcpuk/connectors/php/connector.php on line 30

Do you see those borbidden errors? When my proxy isn't bypassed, it also reports those errors, so maybe that's the problem. But why does it happen when the proxy isn't bypassed? And why does it semi-happen when it is bypassed and everything is seemingly ok?

fck.dbg (again, when the proxy is bypassed) takes up 20K so I won't paste it here.

Now the issue appears to be isolated. I don't do any development with a proxy nor have any clients using such as setup. Unless anyone else that can shed more light on the proxy issue,I'd suggest you post this on the FCKeditor support forums.

What about the all those errors in the error log that was without proxy?

Besides, I can't report it here because it works there without a scratch. I'm limited to Geeklog lovers.
