Extending FCK Buttons

Hi everyone. First off FCK is great. Secondly, I'm using it as a .NET control in case that matters. The organization I'm developing for wants to use a seperate flash based image editor which also works as a .NET control.

My question is where in the FCK code could I modify the onclick event for a button (the image button) so that I can pop my own window instead of the default FCK image window. Thanks.

--------------

Correction:
I would like to replace the "Browse Server" button on the image insertion manager with an onclick event for .NET so we can manage uploads and allow image cropping, in hindsight though I should be able to do this easily but I am still curious about changing the functionality of the editor buttons and if anyone wants to tell me where the files are for the default image window that would be helpful.

Re: Extending FCK Buttons

If you want to modify the existing toolbar buttons, take a look at the files $FCKeditor/editor/_source/internal/fckcommands.js and $FCKeditor/editor/_source/internal/fcktoolbaritems.js. Basically, you'll need to define a new FCKCommand object for your new logic, and associate the toolbar button with your FCKCommand object. You can't use the release code package for this - you'll need to download the code package (of the same version, don't use the SVN trunk for production sites (; ) from our SVN server, do your modifications, and compile the package into a "release package" which you can put into a production site. You can find a file called buildrelease.bat in the _dev directory if you have our SVN code package, which you can use to build the release package from your modified code.

If you want to modify the "Browser Server" button in the Image dialog, look into $FCKeditor/editor/dialog/fck_image/fck_image.js. You don't need to use the SVN code package for modifying dialog code.

Re: Extending FCK Buttons

Great thanks! I have disabled the 'Advanced' and 'Upload' tabs in the 'Image Properties' panel using the .js file you specified.

For future reference though for anyone who may google across this post I was actually looking for:
$fckeditor/editor/dialog/fck_image.html

So that I could alter the form and override the functionality of the button.
