PARTICIPATE: ColdFusion developer wanted!

Well... I have the skils sufficient to write this if you want the help. Skilled in custom tags and CFCs. Let me know.

Integratinf FCK with a CFMX project right now... Keen to help.

Integrating FCK with a CFMX project right now... Keen to help if required.

Thanks for the kind introduction, Fred.

As you said, I'm very excited about participating in this project, and I will do my best to provide the community with high quality support.

Once I have worked my way through all the code, to really get into it, I will first be developing the file uploader for ColdFusion, since that seems to be a much requested feature.

After that, I will update the Wiki, so that it provides a clear checklist of all steps required to get FCKeditor working with ColdFusion.

I will post my progress to the forum.

Best regards,
Wim.

Wow. I go away for awhile and big changes have gone down.

Thanks very much, Wim! I've been praying for docs on the new CF connector. My chief need is to be able to move the editor to a location other than the web root, and also be able to specify whatever folder I please for the upload location (That is sort of done now with the ability to specify the /userfiles/ folder in the connector's config file... I can jerry-rig the rest by removing the hard-coded subfolder names and applying a cfset to the url.type variable).

I realize that Frederico has imposed a requirement that the file system works as it does, and of course you have to stick to that, but please try and make it so it can be tweaked. In an ideal world you'd document the tweaking part too. The way my CMS product works, each content page has its own upload folder so I need to be able to feed in the folder location (I use a session variable).

Thanks again! If I can help let me know.

Hi Matt,

You are going to love this!

I updated the Wike page at http://fckeditor.wikiwikiweb.de/Develop ... ColdFusion .
There's now a step by step guide on how to:
- Install on ColdFusion
- Change the default userfiles directory
- Have multiple userfiles directories, e.g. 1 per user

I also developed the file uploader for the dialog windows. It will be included in the next release, along with some bug fixes.

Sweet!

I'm liking the new layout of SourceForge as well!

Evolution ROCKS!

Woohoo to all. Props * 10
:XD

Does the existing file upload work under CFMX7? The comments here and the wiki seem to conflict.

I keep getting "XML request error: Not found (404)" when I try and browse the folder.

Thoughts?

Dick

Do you mean the upload in the filebrowser, or the upload tab in the dialog windows (link, image, ...).

For the filebrowser, I'm sure it works in CF6 & CF7.
For the dialog, it's not implemented in the current version (2.1.1).
If you use the fileupload in the dialog, it's using the asp version by default, so if your server doesn't support asp it won't work.

Thanks for your prompt reply!

In the "Image Info" tab, when I click the "Browse Server" button a window opens but the error dialogue "XML request error: Not found (404)" is displayed. Also if I try to upload a file from this window nothing happens.

The same window/error is displayed when try the "Browse Server" button in the "Link" tab.

The "Send it to the Server" button works in the "Upload" tab only if I enable ASP, which you said in your reply but isn't documented I think.

So, I can upload an image via the "Upload" tab but I can't upload or select an image via the "Image Info" tab.

Hopefully that has given you an idea of my prob and will help you to advise me of the config required at my end.

TIA.

Dick

Indeed, the upload tab doesn't work in ColdFusion in this release. I included it in the next release, so you have to wait for that.

I think you have your settings wrong. Not found (404) means actually exactly what it says: the file cannot be found.
I suggest you check your settings again.

OK... could you give a release date? (This is one I have certainly been waiting to be standard. Thought about rolling my own... but then updates could fail due to other issues. Thought best to wait for standard implementation.)

I'm sorry, but I'm not in charge of spreading new releases. FredCK is the person to speak to.

I followed the Coldfusion example outlined at...

http://fckeditor.wikiwikiweb.de/Develop ... ColdFusion

and I have been unable to view the sample page on my production server at /FCKeditor_2.0/_samples/cfm/sample01.cfm

Part of the page loads but I receive a The page cannot be found error...

The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

I am anxious to get this working. Please provide any advise you might consider helpful.

Thank you for your time.

Hi,

Since your main folder is FCKeditor_2.0, it seems to me that you are using version 2.0 of the editor.
The steps I wrote are for version 2.1.1 and up, so I suggest you upgrade.
Also, you shouldn't use any dots (.) in your folder names, as it screws up the location for the cfc. Use underscores instead.

Let me know if you have any more problems after upgrading.

Welcome to the jungle, Wim!

In case you're interested, I've got a coldfusion file manager that I've been using instead of the built in connector (more powerful, more features) and I've been unable to get it working because of some url parameters as part of the ImageBrowserURL.

I've got the issue detailed in the following thread:

http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php? ... _id=379487

Thanks

Hey Rick. What file manager are you using, out of curiousity?

I once had a DB connector pretty much working, I had the same problem you had, with the amps, but I don't remember how I fixed it. Maybe removed a toHTML() call on the url within the filemanager frameset? Or encode it with &amps; instead of &? Something like that.

I'm resurrecting the db filebrowser/connector, so I'll see what I run into again. I figure it's better to start from scratch than use my old one, but I should probably see what has really changed in the related code since then.

It will be cf at first, php later, probably. Last time I did it the other way around, but never got all the bugs out nor released it. Actually I think it worked fine but the lack of security bothered me and I couldn't think of a way to work it backinto the core code. And it was a mod of mcpuk's connector. Then authentication got added to mcpuk's but I never went back and retrofitted my code, so it wallowed in purgatory.

It shall live again, and this time I'll share it, so sayeth the den who is xen'n.

Not that many people really want to store images and files in databases, but I think it's cool, and have a setup where it seems to be "fast enough for government work", as they say, which was my main concern.

Eh. wish me luck.

Guess now would be a goot time to +1 the idea of making "file,image,flash" etc. configureable in the fckconfig.js or some such, vs. being hard coded. If it hasn't been changed already. It would make it easier to get contributions in this area, I feel.

Thanks for your efforts Wim! Very much appreciated. A few weeks ago I hacked together a way to force FCKEditor to a)have the upload folder change call-by-call (so you can have one upload folder per page) and also force it to hold all media types. Ran thru it here.

Sure would be nice if that sort of flexibility was built in and not kludged in after the fact.
