deleting uploaded files

You're not stupid nor missing something... or we both are :p
Removing files is not possible through the FCKeditor. I never saw the possibility anywhere and I just checked the screenshots of the filemanager: http://mcpuk.net/fbxp/?page=screenshots. No remove button on them neither. So I guess someone will have to write it. A context menu within the filebrowser would be nice (http://www.djwice.com/contextmenu.html and others via google probably)

I'll do it for PHP. I've been looking for something simpler than the Konqueror port to tackle

Deleting files within FCKeditor is not very usefull I think.
It can be usefull sure, but :
Be carefull as your users will probably delete picture already linked in their posts, and perhaps this will create deadlink ....

But it is nice to have the possibility to turn on this future option....

Best to warn them, then

here's a start - haven't tied in the Rename and Delete functions yet, but the contextmenu code is written for Firefox (will do IE later).

http://verens.com/demos/FCKeditor/_samples/default.html

My custom browser, available https://sourceforge.net/projects/lfobrowser has the ability to write and open files directly off the server that FCKeditor is running on. Adding a feature to delete would be trivial. I don't see a comprehensive solution for security in the editor itself so I decided not to add it when I first wrote the browser. I'm not talking about security from a "hacker" perspective as much as I am clients who delete things accidentally.

I can get it added in the next couple of days if you want but security would be up to you. Abd my browser only works with PHP on the backend.

I think the mcpuk connector has delete links. It's pretty easy to hack it up to use whatever backend you are using. At least a good example of how someone else did it.

okay - I have a working rename and delete contextmenu for Firefox and PHP. I will get it working in IE tomorrow morning (only Linux machines here!), and for non-PHP servers, just read the changes I made, and paraphrase them in your own connectors.

the example is here:
http://verens.com/demos/FCKeditor/_samples/default.html

and the zipped filemanager/browser/default directory is here:
http://verens.com/demos/FCKeditor/edito ... 060222.bz2

well! that was certainly easier than porting to Konqueror!

Hey,

That's great!!

One suggestion, maybe.
When changing the filename, it seems more logic to me that the original filename is by default provided in the dialog window.

In any case, great work!
Thanks!

good point Didgiman. Done.

now works in IE7 as well.

example:
http://verens.com/demos/FCKeditor/_samples/default.html

zipped directory:
http://verens.com/demos/FCKeditor/edito ... 060222.bz2

the important files are:
default/frmresourceslist.html
default/connectors/php/connector.php
default/connectors/php/commands.php

ignore all other files.

How do I get this integrated with the CVS version?

Kae

Great stuff.

I'll try to have a ColdFusion version of this available as soon as possible.

Kae, This is great.

Did you perhaps mean:
http://verens.com/demos/FCKeditor/edito ... 060223.bz2

Appears to work fine in IE6.

Maybe this could be added to frmfolders.html as well to allow folder deleting from the left pane.

Anyway, thanks and keep up the good work and post any updates.

my bad - I always leave out the .tar bit. try unzipping it with "tar xf blah.bz2"

Kae

Is this still available. I would love to use it. But the zip is nowhere to be found.

jp

yes, it is available. The latest blog entry and demo on it is here:
http://verens.com/archives/2006/05/26/f ... -captions/

the zip is here:
http://verens.com/demos/FCKeditor/editor.tbz2
(note: you should probably unzip this into a tmp directory in case it overwrites some important files of yours).

I am no longer supporting the hack, though. I started a plugin with a new file manager which I intend to enhance well beyond that.

have fun!

Hi Kae

I love your work, great job!
It is some interesting ideas you've got, and Im looking forward to see it. Havent got time atm. to help though

May I ask, will you be releasing new versions along with new versions of the editor or just as time goes by ?
Any choice are great

Cheers mate!

thanks, Janich. feels good to be appreciated!

i won't be putting any further work into hacking the official file manager, but I'm working on a plugin file manager which will do everything the current one does, plus more (built-in search, mini plain-text editor, javascript compressor, api hooks for developers, ...).

I have a week off work starting next wednesday, so will be putting some time into this. hopefully have a working 1.0 release by the week after. I'll announce it here.

Kae
