passing custom arguments to the filemanager

Hello,

I'm trying to record into a database the name of any files that are uploaded via the filemanager, in this case just images. The user will be editing a particular article, with a unique article ID. I want to pass the article ID to the filemanager so that it can add what it needs to the database. I would like to just do something like &faqid=blah, but I cannot find anywhere to put that. Does anybody know of a way to do this? Thank you,

RE: passing custom arguments to the filemanager

I wanted something similar so i could have secure documents using an ID rather than the actual file name, it would be a handy feature.

To get round it though i had my documents as a seperate icon using the FCK editor API and wrote my own plugin.

Have you tried this? It can be quite tricky as there is no documentation for the API. I had to copy the plugins that came with FCK editor to try and work out how it worked.

RE: passing custom arguments to the filemanag

I figured it out. I just had the php script i opened run a javascript bit to create a cookie with the faqid, then read it in the php connector for when the file is uploaded. Thanks,

I need this solution also. Any I would be interested in any code you could share on setting the cookie from within js, etc.

Thanks so much!
