Hello,

Does the image editor with FCK in CiviCRM editor allow image/file uploading?  If not, what is the best way to I attach images to - for example - event description pages.

Thanks a lot,
Michael

PS.  Can switch to Tiny MCE if that offers a solution.
PPS.  I had a look at this blog post (http://civicrm.org/node/556) and it isn't quite what I need - I don't want to connect Drupal and Civi's image editors - just get the CiviCRM one working.

indeed it doesn't - in case it helps any of your clients - you can check this video - from memory it explains how we use IMCE to upload images and then adding url for them to civimail - http://vimeo.com/5848425 (v low volume warning)

I am using a standalone version of 3.0 (actually I am integrating it with an alternative CMS to Drupal or Joomla) and found it very easy to enable the FCKEditor image upload capabilities by modifying the /packages/fckeditor/fckconfig.js and /packages/fckeditor/editor/filemanager/php/config.php files.

In /packages/fckeditor/fckconfig.js file the following lines were modified:

@line 285: FCKConfig.ImageBrowser = false ; change to FCKConfig.ImageBrowser = true ;
@line 300: FCKConfig.ImageUpload = false ; change to FCKConfig.ImageUpload = true ;

In /packages/fckeditor/editor/filemanager/php/config.php file, the following lines were modified:

@line 30: $Config['Enabled'] = false ; change to $Config['Enabled'] = true ;
note: make sure you set permissions on this file to be 755 or more restrictive when you enable config file.
@line 34: $Config['UserFilesPath'] = '/userfiles/' ; change to $Config['UserFilesPath'] = '/[relative file path to image directory where you want uploads stored]/' ;
@line 40: $Config['UserFilesAbsolutePath'] = '' ; change to $Config['UserFilesAbsolutePath'] = '/[absolute file path to image directory where you want uploads stored]' ;
@line 65: $Config['ChmodOnUpload'] = 0777 ; change to $Config['ChmodOnUpload'] = 0755 ;
@line 69: $Config['ChmodOnFolderCreate'] = 0777 ; change to $Config['ChmodOnFolderCreate'] = 0755 ;

Pay heed to the commented notes and warnings associated with the lines to be modified in the files.

FWIW, there are a host of image editor tools in the FCKeditor once you get it enabled, more stuff to configure, oh yeah!

It started working several hours later.  It must have been a cache issue.  Great tip!
