CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Are you using Drupal or joomla?

What I did (using Drupal 5.6 and civicrm 2.0) was following this patch to replace the html editor with tinymce and imce module for file integration. http://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-3002
But you need absolute paths !!! so make sure you configure that right. I also installed a module for absolute paths in images http://drupal.org/project/abssrc

I'm on CiviCRM 2.1 with D 6, and I'm trying to get IMCE integrated with CiviMail mailings. It's all working well on my Drupal side.

But in CiviMail I still don't get the image browse button. Any suggestions on how I can get imce to tap in here.....?

In drupal I am using WYSIWYG api w/ TinyMCE 3, IMCE.

In my attempt to get this working, I decided it would probably be easier to integrate on the fckeditor side than tinymce. I realized I can use the built-in fck image uploader (or that's what it looks like) as i was having trouble trying to get it to work with imce (which I would prefer, but oh well).

So here's what I ended up doing:

Opened fckconfig.js from /sites/all/modules/civicrm/packages/fckeditor/ and made
FCKConfig.LinkBrowser = true;

FCKConfig.ImageBrowser = true ;

FCKConfig.ImageUpload = true ;
FCKConfig.LinkUpload = true ;

(they were set to false)


That got me the 'browse server' button when i click the image on a civicrm html mailing page. however, that started giving me an error about a connector being disabled, so i opened /sites/all/modules/civicrm/packages/fckeditor/editor/filemanager/connectors/php/config.php (directed there by the error i was getting)

and changed
$Config['Enabled'] = false ;

to
$Config['Enabled'] = true ;
I am slightly concerned I was supposed to do something else here as in the comments it says:
"WARNING: don't just set "$Config['Enabled'] = true ;", you must be sure that only
authenticated users can access this file or use some kind of session checking."

However, I wasn't really sure what I should do to remedy it, so I guess I'll just keep my fingers crossed.

Then I had to do a few more things I figured out by trial and error. First, I found out it wants to create an 'image' folder inside whatever folder path you are going to give it. For me, I wanted it to put these inside the drupal files folder. So in /sites/default/files/ I created a folder called 'image' and gave it proper permissions so apache could write to it.

Then, you need to set the $Config['UserFilesPath'] to be the full http path this folder. The reason it needs to be full http path is because the point here is for these images to go out in email, and if you do a relative path like it asks for then your images will break. So I set:

$Config['UserFilesPath'] = 'http://mysite.org/sites/default/files/' ;
Note that you don't include the 'image' directory there -- it adds that automatically.

Next, you also need to set the $Config['UserFilesAbsolutePath'] variable. You need to put the non http absolute path on this one or it will generate other errors, meaning the absolute path on your server. So in my case it was:

$Config['UserFilesAbsolutePath'] = '/var/htdocs/sites/default/files/'
And then it is all working, and the pics are coming through in emails successfully.

You will have to modify packages/HTML/QuickForm/fckeditor.php. Search for "$Height", approx. line 31, i also think you might have to modify css, but not sure.

Yes thanks that worked great on the resize.
The image upload would work too but it is a shared install of civicrm.
I wonder if there is a shared way to do this in drupal.
Like make a folder path that matches and then copy just this fck folder into that path and edit it there.

did you create a folder called 'image' inside sites/default/files and give apache permission to write to it?
