FCK Image Browser Url

Hi,

By deafult FCKeditor stores the path to the "browse server" feature in 3 different config keys, one for LinkBrowserURL, ImageBrowserURL, and FlashBrowserURL. In mojoPortal these have been commented out and they all seem use the same mojo key from web.config. The problem I'm having is that I'd like to customise the "browse sever" feature but only for Images. The current browse server allows you to upload files but it bypasses mojo's own file manager. I've added features to mojo's file manager to allow resizing of images and would like to place it in the "browse server" feature for Images.

What I've done so far is add another key to web.config pointing to:

<add key="ImageBrowserRelativePath" value="~/ClientScript/FCKeditor26/editor/filemanager/browser/default/ImageManager/browser.html" />

Instead of

<add key="FileBrowserRelativePath" value="~/ClientScript/FCKeditor26/editor/filemanager/browser/default/browser.html" />

And then picked it up in FCKeditorAdapter.cs and used it in the two references to "ImageBrowserURL". It seems to be working fine but I wanted to know if this is the correct way to do this as I don't want to affect any other featrures that use FCKeditor?

Thanks in advance for any help,

Reiss   << excellent, smilies are back lol

Re: FCK Image Browser Url

Hi Reiss,

Yes, it sounds right. I will make the same change here to allow configuring them separately.

Currently, by default the same browser.html page is used for all browsing of images, files, links, Flash, etc. But they pass a query string param "Connector=" which points to a service url that provides data for the browser. Images and files use the FileBrowseConnector.aspx and Links use the LinkBrowseConnector.aspx page to provide the data.

I would be very wary about giving users direct access to the server file system as in the mojoPortal File Manager. Someone using this feature can break the site (by deleting skins or search index). I think its better to limit what folders they see to only what is needed, perhaps a pre-difined folder where images go. But maybe you have added logic for this.

Best,

Joe
