MCPUK File browser in 2.0FC

Hello, I'm new to posting here, but have been reading and following along for a while.

I've been using the MCPUK file browser for a while in conjunction with thr RC versions the last couple of months. Everything works great, and I've had no problems with this browser. I was very happy to see it included with the final release.

In the Final Release version however, two noticable bugs turned up that were not there before.

1) Just as CouchMouse describes, in FF only, uploading a new image will not refresh the screen. You cannot tell that the image has uploaded until you manually refresh.

2) If you are browsing into a folder, and accidentally "DoubleClick" the folder icon, it duplicates everything you see on the screen. In the left folder list, all folders are listed twice. In the main area, there are two complete sets of thumbnails for every folder and image. This can be cleared by going up a level, and then clicking into the folder again, but making sure you only "SingleClick" it.

Both of these problems did not exist under RC2 & RC3, and they do not happen in IE from what I can tell, only in FF. Otherwise FCKeditor and MCPUK's browser are fantastic!

Two minor "wish list" items:
1) Display the filesize under the thumbnails
2) A button to "Refresh" the thumbnail images. ( I sometimes mass upload revised images via FTP into the images folder. The thumbnails then no longer represent the same picture. I manually delete the .thumb files and then they get recreated the next time I browse, but it would be handy to have a button to rebuild all the .thumbs at will.)

Thanks for the great work!!

Grant,

Just a followup from my earlier post regarding the bug where the screen doesn't refresh after an upload in FF.

I've been looking closer, and it appears that when the upload finishes, it DOES refresh the main screen, however it does not re-read the directory and just comes up with a blank screen (All thumbnails and folders dissapear).

I can recreate the problem, without even uploading, by being in any of the directories, and seeing it's contents, I can right-click, and choose to Reload that frame. I get the same results, that frame refreshes, but everything inside just goes blank.

Just a wild guess, but it seems that when the refresh occurs, it loses track of which folder it is in. So it has no filelist to display.

Thanks for the tip about the filesize in the Title attribute. I had just never hovered over an image long enough to see that pop up before.

regards-
Mark

Just seeing if this has been resolved at all and I overlooked it. Basically I'm working in FF and don't mind right clicking refreshing or F5'ing it but I have some clients who well, are quite forgetful. They are on Macs and use FF there -- haven't tested it with them yet but I'm assuming the same problem will happen. Any luck?

Grant,

Any idea when versions of this browser will be released for platforms other than PHP? I'm a CF developer.

Cheers,

I just don't get what I'm doing wrong... I can't get the filebrowser to work AT ALL....

The variables that I have set so far are:
fckconfig.js:

FCKConfig.BaseHref = 'http://127.0.0.1/blfaq/FCKEditor/' ;
I set this to where I keep FCKeditor, I don't know where to set FCKConfig.BasePath - so I dont BasePath is used throughout this file while BaseHref is not used anywhere... so mabye it's a typo? any way, moving on...

FCKConfig.LinkBrowser = true ; //Seems to be a good thing
FCKConfig.LinkBrowserURL = FCKConfig.BasePath + 'filemanager/browser/mcpuk/browser.html?Connector=connectors/php/connector.php' ; //This should do it I thought...
FCKConfig.ImageBrowserURL = FCKConfig.BasePath + 'filemanager/browser/mcpuk/browser.html?Type=Image&Connector=connectors/php/connector.php' ; //Not to forget!

and in FCKeditor\editor\filemanager\browser\mcpuk\connectors\php\config.php

$fckphp_config['basedir']=$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
I also tried
$fckphp_config['basedir'] = "C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\blfaq\FCKeditor\editor\filemanager\browser\mcpuk" ;
no luck...
$fckphp_config['UserFilesPath'] = "/blfaq/UserFiles" ; //Yes, the folder C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\blfaq\Userfiles exists...
I use $fckphp_config['auth']['Req']=false; however I only created the UserFiles directory. The readme says something about other folders but it is pretty vauge what I should do... so I didn't add them for now (so I need to?)

That's about it, the rest is left to it's default values...

I am running windows 2000, apache and php4

I suppose I am missing something REALY simple, but I have no idea what it could be...

Oh, and as you see, I'm new to FCKEditor

Well, I think you need to create Image, File, Media, Flash directories. Not sure if they are created automatically.

Also check that the user the webserver is running as has r/w access to those directories.

I haven't tested the latest incarnation of mcpuk connector, sorry no sample config to post or whatever.

I feel you are close to getting it working... =-)

MTFBWY!

This new version ROCKS!!!!

the MCPUK works great.. but... because of my implimentation (not my choice) of it I can not get the returned URL in the text box right..

Running IIS6
PHP5

all webpages are stored on the network ie:
\\filer\web$\editor\ ($ = hidden share)

\\filer\web$\UserFiles

Server name is
http://Intranet (local only)

Userfiles dir:
/UsersFiles

once the file is selected it comes back with this url in the text field:

http://Intranet\\filer\web$\UserFiles/Files/personal.doc

I tried ot change the values in the config.js file... but no matter what i do .. it either changes the locaion of the where the files are located (nothing is shown) or it just removes the server name from the displayed url..

can someone help please?

Here is the existing code....
If you dont mind....what changes do u recommend?

<CurrentFolder path="<?php echo $this->raw_cwd; ?>" url="<?php echo $this->fckphp_config['urlprefix'] . $this->actual_cwd; ?>" />

Thanks for your time MCukstorm!

HOwdy Mcukstorm.. Thanks so much for your reply... here is some of the contents of the config.php

The tools work fine, except the creation of thumbs.

what are the library required for generate the image on the fly?

It's possible order folder and file ascending mode?
It's possible find an image throught the image filename or part of it?

hi. having a problem with the directory where images are to be uploaded.

running php 4.3 on unix

added a files directory under the root which is
home/miker/fck/files

fckconfig.js contains:
FCKConfig.ImageBrowserURL = FCKConfig.BasePath + 'filemanager/browser/mcpuk/browser.html?Type=Image&Connector=connectors/php/connector.php' ;

config.php under connector contains:
$fckphp_config['UserFilesPath'] = "/files" ;

files directory is owned by the webserver and chmod 777:
drwxrwxrwx 2 www staff 512 May 14 14:58 files

when i try to create a directory it says i don't have permissions

when trying to upload says it can't read directory size.

i'm sure i must have one of the config setting wrong as the permissions are correct.

any help would be appreciated.

You will need to create the subdirs as well. File, Image, Media, Flash, and be sure they have the same permissions.

All those go under your aformentioned /files directory.

That could be part of it. We'll see if Grant see's something else. Good Luck!

-ps as yer unix, case is important!

thanks for the quick response. i just realized that and the perms problem is fixed now.

i now get an "invalid XML response from connector when uploading" and an "error creating folder - error code -1" when creatin folder.

thanks again

problem solved. i had somehow set authentication back to true which was causing this error.

the testme.php file helps a lot to debug, to find if your basedir is correct etc.

it helped me to see i need to the full path:

$fckphp_config['basedir'] = '/home2/bizbc2/public_dir/site_working/richedit' ;

as opposed to just the doc root, which misses the sub directories

when I try to upload a Image I get this Message

'Error, "Over disk quota,
unable to determine the Size of a Folder"

when I upload Images with FTP into the Folder the Thumbs are generated and I can see it all.

All Folder have CHMOD 777

any help ?

I also get "Unable to determine the size of a folder.".
$fckphp_config['auth']['Req']=false;
All folders exists, and are chmodded to 0777. Have tested with exact same paths on my laptop with winxp, and it works here..

has anyone tried using MCPUK File browser as a standalone app outside of FCKeditor.
it's a great file manager and users may want to manage files without starting up FCKeditor.

MCPUK File browser doesn't seem to convert special characters like germans "", "", "" or ""... I think there should be a little modification in "File Upload"-script. I did not yet take a look where to place this modification, so if someone already did, please let me/us know...
If not, I will take the time the next weekend to find a workaround and share it here...

Hi Grant,

that's right, currently MCPUK File browser works perfectly with special characters - that's not the problem. But have you ever tried e.g. to download a file with these characters? Doesn't work for example with Netscape 4.7x, if there is a "blank" in the file name... (unfotunately this browser still exists and is still in use... :-/ ).

That's why I included a conversation script in my own file tool of my own WYSIWYG-Editor. Before switching to FCKeditor and MCPUK File browser - and I really would like to...! - I immediatly need a script to convert special characters and "blanks" to "_".

At last it should be just a str_replace, shouldn't it? So before I start to go through the script and analyse it, maybe you can tell me where to include it...

Thx, Roland
