I want to just add images with fck

I would like to use the fck editor with oscommerce to add the product image path.

I have created a simplified menu with just the image button but the field underneath is still wysiwyg.

Ideally I want to use the great fck filemanager to find files on the server, select one (so the relative image path /image/car.jpg appears in the box) and then submit this path. At the moment the actual image appears!

Is there a way to start in source only mode?
As this already been done?

Regards,
Simon

Re: I want to just add images with fck

Does anyone have an answer for this? I want to do the same thing. I just want fck filemanager to load a directory I already have set for images. ie. public_html/images. But when I set the path to /images/ in the config file, it creates /images/images and i'm stuck in this empty directory again, so now users can't select images already uploaded on the ftp server. Is there a way to turn off that "directory autocreate" function?

Thanks,
Ben

File browser adds /image/ path when your are working with images, so you shouldn't specify /images/ at your path. Or rewrite the php connector (here I can't help you).

Thanks for the response! If i add just in the config path "/", is that going to delete and recreate my whole /images directory I currently have? I don't know if I want to find out by doing it as it is a live site.

No, it only will try to load images at yourPath + "/image/"...

That's good to hear. Do you know where I can change /image/ to /images/?

Re: I want to just add images with fck

You need to specifiy the next properties:

      paths.put(FILE, PropertiesLoader.getProperty("connector.resourceType.file.path"));
      paths.put(IMAGE, PropertiesLoader.getProperty("connector.resourceType.image.path"));
      paths.put(FLASH, PropertiesLoader.getProperty("connector.resourceType.flash.path"));
      paths.put(MEDIA, PropertiesLoader.getProperty("connector.resourceType.media.path"));

I haven't done, but I suppose you must do in fckeditor.properties file, which is a file that you have to create and publish on the classpath. I have created it for other properties, but I have no tried your issue.

This is on java connector, hopefully it can help you!
