integrate custom file uploader into FCKeditor

Hi, i've written my own file uploader that:

-uploads to a different directory according to user logged on
-limits total file size of all files in directory to 1MB.
-automatically resizes image dimensions proprotionally if it is over a certain size.

As i found it difficult to figure out how to implement this into the FCKEditor itself. I want to find out how to splice this into the FCKeditor UI.

Specifically, i want to know where the file uploader UI is located so i can replace it with my own. I also need to know how to "update" the file browser after upload, meaning the file just uploaded appears on the file browser list after upload without having to manually refresh it somehow.

Also, i have been unable to modify the root of the image browser to one determined by a session value.

I'm using PHP.

Any help will be much appreciated.

"Also, i have been unable to modify the root of the image browser to one determined by a session value."

Specifically, i use a database to store my session data. When i use a "require" statement to require sessions.php, which is a file used to define the parameters needed to store the session data into the database and start the session, and then start the FCKeditor and attempt to upload a file, the file doesn't upload and clicking on the upload button does nothing.

RE: integrate custom file uploader into FCKed

That wouldn't be very clean, as the old file browser and uploader would still be accessible. I need to be able to use my uploader to directly replace the uploader in the editor, as well as properly configure the browser to browse the appropriate directory according to the user.

Just wanted to chime in as I too am going to be attempting this. I have every confidence I'll be able to integrate FCK and my file manager, but if you find any solutions and can help save me time rolling my own, please let me know!

I've only barely been following this thread. Have any of you tried KFM yet? http://kfm.verens.com/ - it's a custom file manager originally built as a plugin for FCKeditor. check it out.

RE: integrate custom file uploader into FCKeditor

I've managed to configure my custom imagebrowser(i've just made one, after 2 days trying to integrate my uploader into the default browser) to get called up when the image button is clicked. However, i'm still facing a problem. The popup starts a new session. This is problematic because my system uses session data to determine the upload/browser directory. Any suggestions as to how to pass this data into the popup will be much appreciated.
