FCKeditor and Images....

Dawg · Posted: Sat Dec 06, 2008 7:58 am

Greetings All,
I have an editor that I just can not seem to get to work...

I have trouble shot this for a couple days....
It is not premissions...Have tried 777 on both the uploads and images folder.

No errors in the log files....

When I hit Image in the editor I get....Image properites...In image properties I click browse server....and I think this is a clue....Even if I have images in the folder....it does not show anything. If I hit Browse - pick a file - Upload.....I get Upload in progress...then nothing.

If I X out of that and go back to the image properties window and hit the upload tab....browse....pick a file....send it to the server....IT says "Your Upload was successful....kicks me back the image properites window with a broken image icon. If I select the image...and hit properties....I get the correct path.

My guess is something is not loading....becasue it is not reading the images in the DIR then If I FTP images in the folder.

I have reuploaded the editor DIR a couple of times. I am pretty sure that it is not the server....I have over 100 sites on this server and 20 or so use various flavors of RN.

I am stumped. Where can I look to trouble shot this?

Everything else about the editor seems to work just fine.

Thanks for the help!

We've seen this problem on some systems - mainly those that use FreeBSD as the operating system. The solution is to override the upload directory in includes/fckeditor/fckconfig.js

Kguske,
This is on FedoraCore 2 Linux 2.6.14

I have tried setting the upload dir in RN. I even tried moving the upload back to the former location.

I will try in the js file and report back.

Do you mean this?

Code:

//FCKConfig.ImageUpload = true ;
FCKConfig.ImageUpload = false ;
FCKConfig.ImageUploadURL = FCKConfig.BasePath + 'filemanager/connectors/' + _QuickUploadLanguage + '/upload.' + _QuickUploadExtension + '?Type=Image' ;
FCKConfig.ImageUploadAllowedExtensions = ".(jpg|gif|jpeg|png|bmp)$" ; // empty for all
FCKConfig.ImageUploadDeniedExtensions = "" ; // empty for no one

Kevin,
I was just messing with this somemore.....I deleted the default install and uploaded the files from the last version of the editor from my old code base. It is known to work on this server. Got the same results....Is there something that needs to be called in the theme for this to work?

I am running on a 100% custom theme....

I will go upload one of the RN themes and try that....

Do you think it could be the changes we made to the header for Gallery to work correctly?...HMmmmm....I will have to try that in a little while....

wait, wait.......
I think you found your own answer.
It should be images not Images - double check the cases. I had a problem a few months ago and found that although I was ftp'ing lowercase directory names because I already had directories that were the same name but with the first letter capitolised they were still reading wrong on the server.
I had to delete the direcotries completely and create them manually.
I'm not saying you may have the same issue but it might we worth a stab.

No....The folder name is images....

Under Resource Type it says Images....with Cap I....

Well.....At least I am not asking simple questions anyway...LOL!

I got it........

Here is the deal....

I went into RN config and set it to....
$uploadpath = '/uploads/image/';

Then created the folder image so the real path is /uploads/image/image/whatever.jpeg

I went...well I guess I screwed up....so I went back and set the path to /uploads/.....nope that did not work. It had to be $uploadpath = '/uploads/image/'; and then add an extra image to it.

Why does this work? Hell if I know! but it does....

Correction....
I set it to
$uploadpath = '/uploads/image/';

and I had to let it create it's own image folder.

It turns out to be a premission sissue I believe. Owner and group were both apache

I have sent you a PM about something too....check that if you would...

You shouldn't need to set the upload path to /uploads/image/, but I think the permissions issue may have been the problem.

If your uploads folder is in the nuke root folder, you shouldn't need to override in rnconfig.
