How to enable file browser?

I followed this instruction http://docs.fckeditor.net/FCKeditor_2.x/Developers_Guide/Configuration/Built_in_File_Browser to get the file browser workin, but it does not appear in my image dialog. How can I find out what goes wrong?

Re: How to enable file browser?

You have to enable the server-side implementation!

Re: How to enable file browser?

Thanks for that hint. Can you tell me, how to do this? I enabled the connector and set the path for the images/files. Nothing happened.

Re: How to enable file browser?

You have to be more elaborate on your connector and the shown up problem.

Re: How to enable file browser?

I'm using the php-connector. I expect the file browser to show up in the "insert image" dialog, but it doesn't.

I saw a "browse server" button on another site, but this does not apper on my website.

Re: How to enable file browser?

The file browser should show up regardless of the connector. If this does not work, probably your installation maybe corrupt or your browser's cache has to be flushed.

Re: How to enable file browser?

This is a new installation. I get the following image, but there is the "upload"-tab missing as well as the "browse server" button.

As I'm using FCKeditor together with drupal, I'll check, if there are known problems with this combination.

Thanks.

Re: How to enable file browser?

I found the problem in the configuration of the connector between drupal and FCKeditor. They override my FCKeditor settings. Thanks for your support.

Re: How to enable file browser?

Doncha just LOVE people that say "oh, never mind, I figured out how to fix my problem" and never reveal HOW they did it? I've searched for hours going through threads like this with no solutions.

I've copied the ckeditor folder to my website and have tried running the samples. No browse button was on the image properties dialog. I haven't modified anything in the configuration files, mainly because I don't know what to modify. I've looked at the listing of items in the developers guide for the config.js file and there are hundreds of them. I don't want to mess with them unless I know what I'm doing. I would THINK that the browse button would be there, or at least there'd be some docs explaining how to get it.

BTW: Install.html in the zip says "The full editor documentation is available online at the following address:
http://docs.cksource.com/ckeditor ". Too bad there's nothing there.

[EDIT:] Whew! After a LOT of searching, I found some answers but it warn't (informal conjunction) easy. Turns out, I missed the fact that the demo had ckFinder installed in it, which isn't exactly cheap. Anyway, I'm on my way to figuring out more but I found some docs at http://docs.cksource.com/CKEditor_3.x/D ... ploader%29 that explain a bit more.

What I'd actually like, would be a file browser that would browse my local machine, insert the graphic, and FTP the file to the server at the same time, changing the URL appropriately in the html. The users I plan on using the editor have no idea how to get their images to the website.

Re: How to enable file browser?

For those of you running into this same problem I foudn this article which saved my life. It explains it all.

http://www.caeus.com/articles/how-to-add-and-upload-an-image-using-ckeditor/

I just had to add the alter config.js (one line added) and create a page called ckupload.php and insert his code. I tweaked the path to the upload folder (which I also created).

Now it's working!

Yes. Thanks, Milauskas for pointing us to the article.
I found the part about validating the upload of images important too.
