I found a new bug in beta6 version: if Joomla was installed in a subfoler, then on the Insert Image dialog, after click the Browse Server button, there will be error message.

It seems that this Uploader does not support Joomla in subfolder.

Another related bug is:

On the Insert Flash dialog, there is NO Browse Server button at all. I think there should be such a button, other wise, how can I upload my SWF file?

Thanks.

Thanks for the report. I will test under this configuration and see if I can determine the problem.

There is currently no Flash support, but I can extend the image browser to support this also.

Beta 7 (available now) should fix the subfolder issue. It also resolves a couple of other minor issues.

Incidentally, Flash support isn't a bug, it is simply unsupported. Several people have asked for this support, so I will look into adding this - though it will probably be after the first full release as that is what I am aiming for currently.

I just tested beta7, the problem still exists.

My Joomla was installed in E:\xampp\htdocs\1515

So I set the image path to E:\xampp\htdocs\1515\images, then I tried to insert image with your editor, after click the "browse server" button, I saw error message:



Next, I change that path to /1515/images, but the same thing happened.

I don't know what is the problem. but I still can't use the image uploader.

BTW, I also noticed another bug: if use your eidtor, those buttons under the editor area, such as "read-more", "pagination", all NOT show up. What's wrong?

Hope you will fix this soon.

Thanks.

The path should just be images (i.e. the default), as it is relative to the Joomla root. Absolute paths won't work. I'll check the issues you have raised and update as soon as I can.

Sorry, I've just set up a test site in a subfolder, and there is an issue. The change I made that should have resolved the issue doesn't appear to have taken. I'll check why and release a fix ASAP.

I've just uploaded Beta 8, which solves the subfolder issue. It also resolves a couple of security issues I discovered with regards to the file browsing (you could access folders outside the specified root). I have rewritten most of the folder access code to address all those issues I have found.

Today I tested beta 8 version.

The subfolder issue seems solved, now I can see the image uploader and use it to upload new image.

But, new bugs found:

If I upload a new image, then insert it into the article, now the image path in IMG tag will be WRONG, because it cut off the /images part.

BTW, I think you can add a "Up one level" button on the right panel of the Image Uploader dialog, just after the path.

Thanks.

This is fixed in Beta 10. I'd spent so much time testing and improving the actual functionality of ceditFinder that I completely forgot to test that it was still passing the required info back to CKFinder!

I also hadn't noticed this (or your comment until rereading this thread!). This is now fixed in Beta 11. An added advantage to the buttons now being present is that you can optionally use the built in Joomla image browser to insert images.

And thanks for your comments so far - they are helping to improve this plugin rapidly, as you are picking up things that I have missed. Hopefully this will be ready for it's first full release within a few weeks.

I had tested beta11. Now the image can be correctly inserted into article. But I found two new things to be improved:

1. When inserting image, your uploader will use absolute path (with domain.com). I think this is not good. Since some developers used to build website on localhost server, then transfer whole site to remote server. Using absolute path will make those images links broken after transfered.

2. I noticed that the uploader will automatically generate thumbnail for larger images. This is good. But it saves thumbnails inside /images folder, this is not good. How about move the /cfthumbs folder to inside /cache folder?

Point 1 has already been raised, and is something that will be changing for release. Note that if you insert an image using the Joomla image browser (using the editor button at the bottom), the link is relative.

I will look into implementing point 2 as well.

I have updated the plugin, and in Beta 12 it uses a cache folder within the plugin path (so no more subfolders in your image directory) and also returns relative links.

There are still a couple of issues remaining (mainly to do with image editing - for some reason, not all images can be edited), but we're yet another step closer to a stable version!

I tested beta12 today. The image path is now relative, that is good.

However, I still think the imagecache folder should be a subfolder to /cache (the system cache folder of Joomla) in the site root.

Thanks.

I will probably add this as an option to the parameters. One advantage of having the cache within the plugin folder is that it is deleted if/when the plugin is uninstalled.

When user want to upgrade your editor to new version, they will uninstall and re-install. Then this cache folder will be deleted. I think this is not good.

If place it in the system cache folder, then user still have the freedom to delete it manually.

There is no need to uninstall when upgrading. The plugin is written so that it is upgradeable. While for the beta offerings it is advisable to uninstall before reinstall (there have been huge changes between some of the versions), this will not be necessary once a stable version is released.

Ok, good news!

Thank you.

yeah, It's a good news
Thank you

Hi.
I've got a Joomla 1.5.23 in a subdirectory (<server root>/home/new/m) and I'm using ceditCKEditor beta 16.

When I click on the image button and then click on "Find on Server" I get an INTERNAL SERVER ERROR window and no image browser.
How can I solve this?

Thank you!
