Show current file name on editor.

The LFO plugin stores the filename of the last opened file in FCKConfig.CurrentWorkingFile. An idea is to set the filename to be the tooltip of the LFO 'open file' icon. To set a tooltip of toolbar icons, see my 'HOWTO - hide/show a toolbar button':http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1734452&forum_id=257179 . At the bottom of the second post it tells you how to reach the image of a toolbar button. When you have the image, you can set the tooltip like image.title = image.alt = 'new tooltip';

That doesn't look user friendly as they will see only the tooltip hovering the toolbar button.
And it's too complex to mess with the buttons when it's far easier to put a span before the editor or even change the whole document title. That's unobtrusive and would take just a pair of lines in the LFO plugin.

The code is described in my HOWTOs so that shouldn't be a problem, but it could be not that user friendly indeed. That depends on who's using it and how much you want the filename to be visible. Changing the webpage its title is a good idea though.

That would be document.title = FCKConfig.CurrentWorkingFile;

You can put that line below (really below) 'SetFileName( sFileName ) ;' in 'LFO_GetFile.html' which should be on line 212.

And toughman168 should you want to say thank you, try paypal You can use any button http://www.saulmade.nl/FCKeditor/FCKPlugins.php (just above the demo below on the page) or go to paypal.com and send something to mail a*t saulmade.nl .

You didn't read my last post correctly. The place where you should insert that single line is described too. Just use that single lin, you don't need any other code.

Or what is it you want to do now? Where do you want to filename to appear?

Just put the line below (really below) 'SetFileName( sFileName ) ;' in 'LFO_GetFile.html' which should be on line 212. This will show the filename in the window title bar when you open a file.

Woops, forgot that we're in a dialog, the line needs to be:

FCK.EditorWindow.top.document.title = FCKConfig.CurrentWorkingFile;

or when you only want the filename to appear, use:

FCK.EditorWindow.top.document.title = FCKConfig.CurrentWorkingFile.match(/[^\/]*$/)[0];



And as always, what about paypaul

I have tested it and I'm sure it works. You don't have to do anything else. Are you sure you're looking at the right place to find the pagename? You must look to the window title. Please describe where you look and what you see. Do you have your FCKeditor in a frame? Do you have a demo?

Goto http://www.saulmade.nl/FCKeditor/FCKPlugins.php click the open file button > Browse Server > select '_testForFCKeditor.html' > click OK and select any part of the file.

Now look at the browser's title, it should read '/FCKeditor/_testForFCKeditor.html'

If you don't see it, clear or disable your cache. If you still don't see it after that, you're looking at the wrong place. Just contact me back then.

I have a question realated to this topic. I'm using the jquery fckeditor, which loads fckeditor into a div.
I'm using AjaxSave and I want to stick the filename in a hidden form field so I can submit that information with the form it is in. I made it a text box just so I could see if it changes.
I can't get it to work after trying everything I could think of.
FCK is loaded in a div called 'content' and I am using the LFO plugin.

When I put
alert(FCKConfig.CurrentWorkingFile);
on line 212 after
SetFileName( sFileName ) ;
in file 'LFO_GetFile.html' the alert pops up with the filename no problem.

When I try to set the text box named 'filename' the same way, nothing happens?
I even tried you example of changing the document's title to the current filename
FCK.EditorWindow.top.document.title = FCKConfig.CurrentWorkingFile;
and that won't even work either.
Is there something special I have to do because the editor is in a div?

I've tried and tried and can't figure this out.
Any help would be really really really appreciated.

Thank you in advance.
