Thread: Editor - Image Manager

Is the admin editor "image manager" supposed to work out of the box? It doesn't appear to and we can't find any doco on the subject. There doesn't seem to be a way to browse for images or upload new images.

In fact it appears many of the editor features don't work:

spellcheck
flash manager
media manager
document manager
no custom colors

Thanks!

Version: ML 8.0.1.2

If you are using IE8 you might try the compatibility mode.

Thanks for the tip but compatibility mode doesn't change the behavior. It's not that the dialog is not functioning -- it's that there are no files to browse in the list, the upload image tab is greyed out, it's not possible to create a new folder etc.

On the {root}/RadControls/Editor/ConfigFile.xml, make sure that these lines are present:

Code:

<property name="ImagesPaths">		
    <item>~/images</item>
</property>

<property name="UploadImagesPaths">
   <item>~/images</item>
</property>

<property name="DeleteImagesPaths">
   <item>~/images</item>
</property>

Thank you - that was the issue! There are no path values specified in the ConfigFile.xml. So in theory, setting paths for flash, media, documents etc. will allow these to work correctly too. What's very nice is you can specify multiple paths (not just limited to one path).

I too am having this issue. The above mentioned paths in configfile.xml were also blank but after specifying paths, I am still having the issue.

Any further suggestions?

You'll have to specify paths for whatever element you're trying to add - images, media, flash, documents, etc. There are sections for each in that file. Once they're in there properly that's all you should need.

Media Manager and Image Manager are what I'm immediately concerned about.

Configfile has the following:

<property name="MediaPaths">
<item>/images/upload</item>
</property>

<property name="UploadMediaPaths">
<item>/images/upload</item>
</property>

<property name="DeleteMediaPaths">
<item>/images/upload</item>

<property name="ImagesPaths">
<item>/images/upload</item>
</property>

<property name="UploadImagesPaths">
<item>/images/upload</item>
</property>

<property name="DeleteImagesPaths">
<item>/images/upload</item>
</property>

If you can just send this to support, and we'll going to send you the proper ConfigFile.xml. Thanks

I'm encountering the same problem with the Image Editor. I've edited the ConfigFile.xml as suggested:

<property name="ImagesPaths">
<item>~/images</item>
</property>
<property name="UploadImagesPaths">
<item>~/images</item>
</property>
<property name="DeleteImagesPaths">
<item>~/images</item>
</property>

The image editor still isn't functioning. Any suggestion would be appreciated?

Thanks.

So to browse your local hardrive for images and upload them to the "topic" section" we have to go and modify the code in the configfile?

I have this now:

<property name="ImagesPaths">
<item></item>
</property>
<property name="UploadImagesPaths">
<item></item>
</property>
<property name="DeleteImagesPaths">
<item></item>
</property>

Just follow this:
