Custom File Manager integration?

All you need to do is A) set the url prefix in the fckconfig.js and then B) be sure you are returning text/xml to the filebrowser, with the elements that it requires. The serverSideIntegration doc will be real helpful here as it has samples and links to more samples.
You might want to look at the PHP connector that someone has written already. There's a whole thread or two about it. You should be able to rip that pretty easy, as it's already working. It has added func. as well (delete, thumbnail, rename). Yay!

Ah, see, I think that that is old. You could look at the dialog html files for a couple of functions to insert the <img src='blahblah'>. But far better is to use the html filemanager, as you have to do less work, theoretically.

The really nifty thing about the browser 'default' is that you can use it with any type of connector, be it php, asp, java, etc. All it needs is valid XML (use sample responses(under _documentation) as examples).

So the line would look something like this in fckconfig.js

FCKConfig.ImageBrowserURL = FCKConfig.BasePath + "filemanager/browser/default/browser.html?Type=Image&Connector=connectors/cfm/connector.cfm" ;

Only reploace cfm with php. And browse where connector is, but connector would be more to specs. And move your browse.php to filemanager/browser/default/connectors.

It's late, that's pro'lly not clear. The idea is that:

editor/filemanager/browser/default/browser.html

sends something like this to your connector:

connector.php?Command=GetFoldersAndFiles&Type=File&CurrentFolder=/Samples/Docs/

And your PHP resource browser connector would return the below, setting the right headers and such so it really comes across as XML.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<Connector command="GetFoldersAndFiles" resourceType="File">
<CurrentFolder path="/Samples/Docs/" url="/UserFiles/File/Samples/Docs/" />
<Folders>
<Folder name="Documents" />
<Folder name="Files" />
<Folder name="Other Files" />
<Folder name="Related" />
</Folders>
<Files>
<File name="XML Definition.doc" size="14" />
<File name="Samples.txt" size="5" />
<File name="Definition.txt" size="125" />
<File name="External Resources.drw" size="840" />
<File name="Todo.txt" size="2" />
</Files>
</Connector>


So long and short is that you use the default browser and make a custom connector. The browser.html sends request, gets response, and presents it to the user.
I'm stoked on the docs with this latest release, they are quite helpful. Yay Documentation!

I'll try to explain it better if this doesn't make sense yet. I'm not too adept at explaining sometimes. I'm more apt to confuse. =)

You don't HAVE to use the FCKedit filemanager, if that was all you were wondering... *nodding off* well, what a great project. Check out the demo php connector from Grant. It implements some nice stuff, and reverse engine-earing it might give you some clues...

Good luck, and I'll help if I can!

There is a brief explaination of the filemanager <-> connector concept along with complete developer documentation for writing a connector, for the standard
filemanager and also my extensions to it on my website. ( http://www.mcpuk.net/fbxp ) As xenden said looking through pre existing connectors is quite usefull for getting to grips with writing a connector, on the site you will find a Classic ASP and PHP version.

For such cordial requests, it's a pleasure. =)

What you need is the command to just paste into the editor window then. This stuff:

"document.getElementById("txtURL") has no properties"

is for using the window that comes up by default, with width, hight, and a preview and the 'browse server' button. As you have replaced this (I assume as well as the default browser) you don't have a text box named "txtURL", which is what that function is trying to set to the URL of the text.

Seems like what you are tring to do is have the "<img src='/blah/blah.gif'>" inserted into the browser window. If I was a little more with it, I'd paste the insert-HTML code, but you can find this in various places throughout the JavaScript. Like I said, take a look at the javascript that is in the "dialog" windows (like the smiley dialog, which has some javascript that pastes any contents in a <TD></TD> into the textarea.

Also, mcukstorm, I love the addtions you've made, but there was one weird thing that was happening, and that was with the thumbnail function. I was trying to make a crappy little thumbnail thing in ColdFusion but besides the trouble I'm having presenting the images (don't know why... If I send the connector the commands it sends me a picture, theoretically with the right image/whatnot content header... but nothing comes up in the filemanager) it seems it is encoding the & as html (&amp;) insead of passing it the way it should. It meaning the js that sends the connector the filename, type, etc.. Probably just a oversight on my end, and I kludged it to re-encode for my stuff, but just wanted you to know.

At any rate, filippl, you may consider storing the files in a database (that's what *I* like, mostly cuz it's fun to try to get it going, but partly to controll things like descriptions, who edited what & when, etc.) as you can do what I just said in parens. And you get away from maintaining dual systems. (file and db).

Eh. Prolly not much more clear-er. But you were so polite I thought I'd try.

May the Force be Wit'Cha, and this project!

Well, the textbox on the page is called txtURL and the .js func looks for txtUrl, or vice-versa, I don't recall... but it doesn't seem to effect IE, only mozilla types.

You can use the function: GetE('txtURL') = url;
I'll take a look at the source... yeah, that's under editor/dialog/js/fck_image.js.

To use some of the nifty js functions you need to include where they are defined, as in <script language='javascript' src='fileWithFunctionDef.js'></script>. That might be what is really causing you problems, if you are using the image dialog.

Have you tried it in IE?

If all else fails, you can use standard js and do something like window.opener.txtURL.value = 'yourImageURL'; and that should populate the txtURL textbox with your URL. Just be sure the case matches and everything. That eliminates the need to include js files... I think.

Yay, Monday!

Heh, and my f-ed up cf code? =]

Yeah, I spent 4 hours re-installing cf on a server just because I was trying to go to CFIDE and not cfide. Go figure, neh? Guess I shoulda posted that somewhere appropriate in case someone was a stupid as me and had bookmarks or some such, neh? Bah.

Glad you got it going. Are you gonna post the connector or am I gonna have to mode my crap for the filesystem lusers? ;]

And are you useing xmlElemNew and such or are you going the cheap way out like I did? I'm telling you... objects rock...

But I'm preat-chin to tha chior here, neh?

GOod Job Filip(or is that F Illippl or maybe L Fillipp?;)!

Ummm... yeah. Sorry about that. Got my threads crossed. little too much wine *glug* and not enough sleep.

Thanks for posting the code!
