Hello everyone. Since I''ve found very poor documentation about the rails FCKEditor plug-in and Easy-FCKEditor (which is a fork of the very same plug-in), I decided to bother you with my noobish questions. I have this weird sensation that the image-uploading feature of FCKEditor isn''t supposed to work magically, without some sort of server side preparation, but I have no idea about what to do to make it work. Weirdly, when I try to upload an image it gives a message saying that the upload was successful, but fails to show the image (and the path that it inserts in the editor''s ''text area'' points to an unexistent uploads/images/ directory. I created this directory inside public, and I still can''t make it upload the image). Also, when I try to open the file browser it shows this message: "unknown error creating folder". I''m kind of used to the abstraction level provided by rails and other upload plug-ins such as attachment_fu, so i know very little about how to deal with this. Any help will be apreciated. Thanks (I''m trying it on my development enviroment, which uses rails 2.2.2, but I intent to use it in my mor.ph account when in production.) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

It works. The error messages it spits back can be a little vague.
I found that I needed to change the following (my version is first)
due to the new changes in Rails/rack/etc.
155c142,143
< unless [''ActionController::UploadedStringIO'',
''ActionController::UploadedTempfile'',
''Tempfile'', ''TempFile'',
''StringIO''].include?(file.class.to_s)
---
> # RAILS_DEFAULT_LOGGER.info "CLASS OF UPLOAD OBJECT:
#{file.class}"

"StringIO"

I used fckeditor for some projects but I find that TinyMCE editor and
rails plugin is better, for all my new rails projects now I''m using
this
plugin:
script/plugin install git://github.com/kete/tiny_mce.git
The upload mechanism does''nt exist but if you prepare a simple
controller/view for your upload system, the integration is really simple...
For example with this simple javascript included into your page you can
control image / link / multimedia upload, in my case I have:
<script type=''text/javascript''>
var returnURL = "";
var browserWindow;
var browserFieldName;
function fileBrowserCallBack( field_name, url, type, win ){
if (type == "file") {
browserUrl = "/admin/files";
else if (type == "media") {
browserUrl = "/admin/medias";
} else {
browserUrl = "/admin/images";
}
window.open(browserUrl, '''',
''width=800,height=400,scrollbars=yes'');
browserWindow = win;
browserFieldName = field_name;
}
function browserReturn(url) {
browserWindow.document.forms[0].elements[browserFieldName].value
= url;
}
</script>> Hello everyone.

Thank you for the feedback. I''ll certainly try tinymce in a future project. It turn''s out someone on the net has figured out how to make easy- fckeditor work properly with rails 2.2.2, and with his advice, now it works in my project too. if anyone is having the same problems I was, just check this page: http://davidebenini.it/2009/03/23/patches-for-the-easy-fckeditor-rails-plugin/ On 3 abr, 04:06, Gianluca Tessarolo <tessarolo.gianl...-6ZZdBs7hMehZp5Udy/Obhg@public.gmane.org> wrote:> I usedfckeditorfor some projects but I find that TinyMCE editor and > rails plugin is better, for all my new rails projects now I''m using this > plugin: > > script/plugin install git://github.com/kete/tiny_mce.git > > The upload mechanism does''nt exist but if you prepare a simple > controller/view for your upload system, the integration is really simple... > > For example with this simple javascript included into your page you can > control image / link / multimedia upload, in my case I have: > > <script type=''text/javascript''> > var returnURL = ""; > var browserWindow; > var browserFieldName; > function fileBrowserCallBack( field_name, url, type, win ){ > if (type == "file") { > browserUrl = "/admin/files"; > else if (type == "media") { > browserUrl = "/admin/medias"; > } else { > browserUrl = "/admin/images"; > } > window.open(browserUrl, '''', ''width=800,height=400,scrollbars=yes''); > browserWindow = win; > browserFieldName = field_name; > } > > function browserReturn(url) { > browserWindow.document.forms[0].elements[browserFieldName].value > = url; > } > </script> > > > > > Hello everyone. > > > Since I''ve found very poor documentation about the railsFCKEditor > > plug-in and Easy-FCKEditor(which is a fork of the very same plug-in), > > I decided to bother you with my noobish questions. > > > I have this weird sensation that the image-uploading feature of > >FCKEditorisn''t supposed to work magically, without some sort of > > server side preparation, but I have no idea about what to do to make > > it work. > > > Weirdly, when I try to upload an image it gives a message saying that > > the upload was successful, but fails to show the image (and the path > > that it inserts in the editor''s ''text area'' points to an unexistent > > uploads/images/ directory.
