Thumbnails in image browser - how?

I would like to see thumbnails also? I heared it was in MCPUK only i have never gotten it to work

I did not know this was possible but I would like to enable this as well, does anyone know how to do this?

This is vital to what I am doing..

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks

I am using version FCKeditor_2.3.1

Thanks

anyone?

(I am using asp)

Thanks

bump

try this plugin:

http://kfm.verens.com/

Isnt that just for PHP..

I am using ASP

It looks awesome.. but i dont see how I can use it....

Dan, thanks (Kae here - author of KFM).

yes, it's for PHP. It would be interesting to have an ASP port for it, but there's quite a bit of work involved in it, so I would be wary of that!

Sorry you can't use it yourself. Maybe there will be a port at some time in the future.

Ok Thanks Kae.

So back to the orignal question of does anyone have a way I can use the FCKeditor to view thumbnails...

Thanks..

In order to view the create the thumbnails you need an image library (DLL). If you don't have one then I suggest

"GFL SDK is a free library (used by XnView) for developers who would like to support graphics image formats easily."

http://perso.orange.fr/pierre.g/xnview/engfl.html

It works great with ASP and that library even has it's own forums.

Once you have the code to create thumbnails then you will need to edit the following files:
\fckeditor\editor\filemanager\browser\default\frmresourceslist.html
\fckeditor\editor\filemanager\browser\default\connectors\asp\connector.asp
\fckeditor\editor\filemanager\browser\default\connectors\asp\commands.asp

What exactly you do I'm not too sure. I have not do this yet, however I did add the ability to rename and delete files and folders by editing the above using this page http://www.bram.us/2006/10/18/my-tinymc ... te-option/ as a referance.

i have found this site...

http://mcpuk.net/fbxp/

and have tried to see if i can get the thumbnail part to work for ASP.

I can not get this to work still, maybe I am doing something wrong. please if anyone else is looking to do this in asp see if you can make it work...

If memory serves me...mcpuk used to be supported in FCK a while back... for some reason it was dumped out of the distro...

mcpuk is an add on someone made...

I guess it used to work but i cant get it on now..

i dont think it was part of the distribution..

But to use this add on one needs to install a piece of software, would people have to do the first tie they use the image viewer, ie if they are using this online?

Does anyone know what code has to be added to the exact pages...

I am finding it hard to believe that everyone who has used this fck editor has never had a got around this thumbnail problem

"But to use this add on one needs to install a piece of software" - As far as I know classic ASP/ASP 3 does not come with an image library, so YES you'll need to install something on the server if you want thumbnails generated on the fly. That is unless you want to change the width/height for the HTML image tag.

However ASP.NET does have an image library, so you don't need to install any other software.

Thumbnail creation is not that big of a deal, I have ASP code that uses the GFL SDK library to generate thumbnails on the fly, the trick is adding that to the File Browser. I know that you will defiantly need to change this file \fckeditor\editor\filemanager\browser\default\frmresourceslist.html. Change "oListManager.GetFileRowHtml" in frmresourceslist.html to change the way the Fire Browser displays the file names.

I'm sure that the GFL SDK forums has sample code that you could use to create thumbnails on the fly.

Have you noticed that the file browser does not have any delete or rename capabilities? Using http://www.bram.us/2006/10/18/my-tinymc ... te-option/ as a reference you should be able to add these functions.

Thumbnails integration is nice and all however I'd put priority on allowing people to rename files/folders and delete files/folders.

i agree to an extent on the priority, but that link is to do it in php..

i am using asp..

You can use the PHP page as a reference to see which files need to be edited. There is a commands.php file, so you should edit the commands.asp, there is a connector.php file so you will have to edit the connector.asp file. frmresourceslist.html is HTML and JavaScript which draws the folder/file listing so you will need to add the buttons to rename and delete files here. The buttons that you add will have JavaScript functions attached to them that send querystring parameters to commands.asp

frmresourceslist.html is also the page that you need to edit to change the way the files are displayed. You will need to change oListManager.GetFolderRowHtml to change how the folders are displayed. You will need to edit oListManager.GetFileRowHtml to change how the files get displayed.

I suggest that before you try to do the thumbnail thing that you create a simple asp file that accepts a file name via the querystring and resizing it. This sort of thing could be used for other sites/pages as well that do use FCK.
