Image uploading in FCKeditor?

[tmdrake]

Is it just me or does that seem to be a regular problem here?

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but from what I've found during the last half hour of attempting to get this image upload working, it's not a phpList issue, but a FCKEditor issue.

I've searched the Durpal forums and tried a number of suggested fixes, which didn't fix anything, though in the end I did, apparently, get a successful Image Uploaded! Message, but I can't find it on my server!

There's also one at Bin-Blog though again, it won't work on my server. Also this one gives a suggestion on how to secure the folder via htaccess

I also eventually found this one, why oh why didn't I just check the phpList Docs?
However, have to report it still does not work for me, you may have better luck?

Well, I got it working. Not the best way but I created a better variable in FCKEditor config.php file to find the phplist config file. Then turns out someone left a several test files for the FCKEditor connectors, which were useful in finding a bug in the io.php file. I also modified several of the upload scripts to add the image link in the FCKEditor as a solid absolute URL, which is needed if its embedded in an HTML e-mail. To bad phplist can't detect the URL linked images, download them, attached them and convert to attached images (though that could make the e-mail extremely large)

Again this is not the best way to "hack" the issue, but it seems to be working at the moment...lol, but what do i know, I just started back in to linux/php about 2 weeks ago.

Oh yea, if its hosted on a server the "upload root" directly should be web accessible and have write permissions from the script.

[tmdrake]

lol, after tweaking the code, yes I got it working....

Well done Drake!

Don't suppose you'd be willing to share what you did so it may help someone else out?

You said:

Here is what I have found.

[basedir] = to wherever you files are. ie /opt/phplist

#1 Turn on the uploadimages in [basedir]/conf/config.php * This is a relative directory so no "/" at the beginning

Code: Select all

define("FCKIMAGES_DIR","uploadimages");

#2 Add option to the [basedir]/conf/config.php

Code: Select all

define ("EMBEDUPLOADIMAGES",1);

#3 Fix the connector to import the correct config in [basedir]/admin/FCKeditor/editor/filemanager/connectors/phplist

Code: Select all

/* original
} elseif (is_file('../../../../../../../../config/config.php')) {
  include "../../../../../../../../config/config.php";
*/
/* correct */
} elseif (is_file('../../../../../../config/config.php')) {
  include "../../../../../../config/config.php";


#4 change the connector [basedir]/admin/FCKeditor/editor/filemanager/connectors/phplist/config.php

Code: Select all

$Config['UserFilesAbsolutePath'] = '[basedir]/uploadimages' ;

You could fix this without hardcoding the [basedir] here but I was lazy and did not want to figure out why it was not picking it up in the first place.

After these items the image upload seems to work.
