File Browsernot Opening

I have uploaded FCK and had a look at the editor - but the file browser isn't there. Does it have to be added in the config file - or should it open with the editor. Yes I'm new to this - and love it - but need a leg up here. Anyone?

...as well - is there any documentation out there aimed at the end user. The development process is awesome - but isn't there the 'if you build it they will come' factor? User will come - but they may need help. I read another thread where an end user was basically dismissed - put down - because they asked a basic question. Not sure why anyone would do that. I'd love to use this - but I need help to get it to work.

Re: File Browsernot Opening

I too am a newbie but I did get the file browser kind of working:
I am using FC6 server with php.

In fckconfig.js I changed
var _FileBrowserLanguage = 'php' ; // asp | aspx | cfm | lasso | perl | php | py
var _QuickUploadLanguage = 'php' ; // asp | aspx | cfm | lasso | php

in config.php I changed
$Config['Enabled'] = true ;
and
$Config['UserFilesPath'] = '/userfiles/' ;
and
$Config['UserFilesAbsolutePath'] = '/home/userfiles/' ;

Then I made a dir /home/userfiles/ chown apache.apache chmod 777

Then it seems to work but I have not fully tested it.

Hope that gets you up and running.

P.S. Most of these forums have been incredibly unhelpful. For some reason they always want you to "figure it out for yourself". They don't seem to realize that these things are only hammers to get the job done. I don't know and don't care how they make hammers! Have fun. :roll:

alfonsoml - if you find this so frustrating - why are you involved - why answer questions at all.
If the questions we are asking are documented anywhere - why not just tell us where.
I've read and read - I did so for two days before I asked a question on here.

This is a great product. Yes it is in development - but I say again - development for what - for whom?

If there is ever to be an end user - should current end users not have an opportunity for input - or is this development like a lego structure - fun to build - but not actually meant to be useful.

I get that the documentation is weak because it woud have to be changed almost daily during the development. However - I dont see why basic install documentaion for the end user could not be included so this product could be tested - on all levels - as it goes along.

My biggest problem is with the condescending rude reply you provided to the other user. Would it not have been simpler to just say - it's in the documentation here and send them off with some help rather than with a superior sneer.
