Merl solution works for me FF3:
add var not where stated (see Merl post),
but here - editor_plugin.js:

// Internal image object like a flash placeholder
if (ed.dom.getAttrib(e, ‘class’).indexOf(’mceItem’) != -1)
return;
//fix for ff3
var ib = iBrowser_GetIb();

do not forget to change the common.js as above in Merl post.

if you need a full tiny_mce+ibrowser module for website baker, go to: http://forum.websitebaker2.org/index.php/topic,10183.0.html for download

OK, so here’s my issue:

I turn on ibrowser, and my XP/FF2 machine is fine. But my client’s machine (sometimes Vista, sometimes Mac, on FF, IE, whatever) can’t see the whole textarea TinyMCE WYSIWYG once I enable ibrowser. Using TinyMCE 3.0.8. Before I didn’t do the whole copy tinyMCE3.0_editor_plugin.js twice and call it editor_plugin.js and editor_plugin_src.js thing, BUT I just tried that and it still doesn’t work. Any ideas?

Can’t get the plugin to work in Safari. I tried Merl’s fix (see comment above), but Safari still won’t recognize the ib variable.

I’m guessing it’s a security issue in Safari. The common.js file, with the ib variable, is loaded and it DOES execute (I tried putting an alert in there), but editor_plugin.js can’t access any functions or variables from it. Strange.

If anyone has a fix for this, please leave a comment for the rest of us.

Hi there!

This is a neat plug-in, but I was having some problems with Firefox 3. Couldn’t open the dialog from tinyMCE 3.0.

The problem seems to be related to some firefox namespace, where the ib variable isn’t available back in the tinyMCE3.0_editor_plugin.js. The common.js file loads just fine, and everything is happening in the correct order, but I couldn’t seem to get a hold of the ib variable after the inclusion of the common.js file.

I made a temporary fix localy (Only tested with IE7 + FF3):

Added the following to interface/common.js directly after “var ib = new iBrowser;”:
function iBrowser_GetIb() { return ib; }

The following was added below: “tinymce.ScriptLoader.load(url + ‘/interface/common.js’);”:
var ib = iBrowser_GetIb();

Keep up the good work =)

These setup instructions worked a treat - took just 30 mins cos I had the “Error building image list!” — fixed by reading the instructions properly. On this page ( http://pascal.vanhecke.info/2005/08/25/image-upload-plugin-for-tinymce/ ) there is a picture in which the images are shown as filenames . In my installation the images are displayed as thumbnail so can anyone tell me how to show the images as filenames ?

I made a little snippet for those who don’t want to add the absolute path everywhere. This basically determines the absolute path of the site.

$pathArray = explode(”/”,$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']);
$pathFolderNumbers = count($pathArray)-1;
for($i = 0;$i<$pathFolderNumbers;$i++)
$pathToThis.= $pathArray[$i].”/”;
echo $pathToThis;

Then just work it out relative. Works for me, and it’s much easier to keep track. (basically no need to).

Looks pretty awesome. I just wish it was LGPL instead though. I can’t use something that’s been GPL’d because that would require my company to release the entire application. Guess I’ll have to find another solution.

Few questions:

1) tinyMCE.editor_plugin.js file, where is it?
2)what path do the image galleries take? are they the root of the ibrowser plugins or what? I have done ../../../../images (which i am assuming would take me to the folder in the same dir as the jscripts folder of TinyMCE.

TIA
