Images in HTML email

The default configuration in CKFinder points CKFinder to the relative path:

config.baseUrl = "/ckfinder/userfiles/";

however, you can change it to fully qualified URL:

config.baseUrl = "http://example.com/ckfinder/userfiles/";

The only thing that you have to remember about in such scenario is to set also the baseDir variable, e.g.:

config.baseDir = "D:/websites/ckfinder/userfiles/";

because the default value will not work out (config.baseDir = APPLICATION.CreateCFC("Utils.FileSystem").resolveUrl(config.baseUrl);).

config.thumbnails = structNew();
config.thumbnails.url = config.baseUrl & '_thumbs';
config.thumbnails.baseDir = config.baseDir & '_thumbs';
config.thumbnails.enabled = true;
config.thumbnails.directAccess = false;
config.thumbnails.maxWidth = 100;
config.thumbnails.maxHeight = 100;
config.thumbnails.quality = 80;

When it comes to newsmail its much better to embed all the pictures in teh mail so the user never gets those red crosses caus of security issues. I am using the editor for newsmails as well, but i embed the images in the mail. See code example below (In C#.Net):

public void SendHtml(string fromemail, string toemail, string subject, string html)
{
Regex regX = new Regex("src=(?:\"|\')?(?<imgSrc>[^>]*[^/].(?:jpg|bmp|gif|png))(?:\"|\')?", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
MatchCollection srcData = regX.Matches(html);

string[] fileNames = new string[srcData.Count];
string[] filePaths = new string[srcData.Count];

int index = 0;
string htmlFinal = html;
foreach (Match match in srcData)
{
string[] sTmp = match.Value.Split('/');
fileNames[index] = sTmp[sTmp.Length - 1];

string pathTmp = "/";
for (int i = 1; i < sTmp.Length-1; i++)
{
pathTmp += sTmp[i] + "/";
}
filePaths[index] = pathTmp;
pathTmp = "/";
index++;
}

string htmlTmp = html;
for (int i = 0; i < fileNames.Length; i++)
{
htmlFinal = htmlTmp.Replace(srcData[i].ToString(), "src=cid:" + fileNames[i].Substring(0, fileNames[i].IndexOf('.')));
htmlTmp = htmlFinal;
}

//htmlFinal += "<p align='left' style='font-size:12px;'><a href='http://adpnews/?rnmr=" + Server.UrlEncode(Encryption.Encrypt(toemail)) + "'>Click here to cancel newsmail subscription</a></p>";

AlternateView htmlView = AlternateView.CreateAlternateViewFromString(htmlFinal, null, "text/html");

for(int i=0;i<srcData.Count;i++)
{
string imgLoc = Server.MapPath(filePaths[i]);
LinkedResource logo = new LinkedResource(imgLoc + fileNames[i].Substring(0, fileNames[i].IndexOf('\'')));
logo.ContentId = fileNames[i].Substring(0, fileNames[i].IndexOf('.'));
htmlView.LinkedResources.Add(logo);
}

MailMessage msg = new MailMessage(fromemail, toemail);
msg.Subject = subject;
msg.AlternateViews.Add(htmlView);
msg.IsBodyHtml = true;
SmtpClient mySmtp = new System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient("localhost");
try
{

mySmtp.Send(msg);
}
catch
{
}
}

In Config.cfm I changed
Config.FileTypesPath["Image"] = Config.UserFilesPath & 'image/' ;
To
Config.FileTypesPath["Image"] = "http://www.mydomain.com" & Config.UserFilesPath & 'image/' ;

And seems to be working fine. Did the same for files and flash.
