Hello.
I'm having trouble uploading file images and browsing those images using Fckeditor.
If I try to upload a file, I can select one from my local computer and I notice that my browser tells me: -
/node/12/edit?destination=admin%2Fcontent%2Fnode.
Then I try to brows the image and I get the following error: -
The server didn't send back a proper XML response. Please contact your system administrator.
XML request error: OK (404)
Requested URL:
http://myslte.com/sites/all/modules/fckeditor/fckeditor/editor/filemanager/browser/default/../../connectors/php/connector.php?ServerPath=%2Fsites%2Fdefault%2Ffiles&Command=GetFoldersAndFiles&Type=Image&CurrentFolder=%2F&uuid=1207633832207

<title>Page not found | mysite.com</title>So I have looked at all of the docs about /filemanager/connectors/php/config.php and I think I've made the right changes.
I have also looked the File Browser setting for Fckeditor but I'm a bit lost.
The default setting look OK to me but perhaps they need to be customized.
I have left the Path to Upload files as is, viz: - %b%f/
And I have left the Absolute path to uploaded files: as is viz: - %d%b%f/
Any help offered would be greatly appreciated.

FckEditor 6.1 file upload and server config problems
Hi,
I ran into this one as well at first. If I remember correctly, you need to make sure that uploads are enabled in the sites/all/modules/fckeditor/fckeditor/editor/filemanager/connectors/php/config.php file _and_ make sure that in your Drupal site settings file, you have enabled the cookie domain and set it to something useful (like your domain). Oh, and make sure that users are allowed to use the upload feature under 'access permissions'. You may also find it useful to sacrifice a goat at midnight...

Heres what my config file looks like.

I'm not sure where to enable the cookie domain name. I remember seeing a mention of that.
I don't have any goat but the neighbours have cows? Do you think that they would OK?

FCKEditor 6.1
Hi,
Yeah it's that line in the config file: $Config['Enabled'] = true ; which over-rides whatever you may have enabled in the module settings via the Drupal interface. Now that you've set that, and assuming you have enabled file uploads for the FCKEditor profile you are using and set the access permissions for the user to do this, you should be set to go...
The cookie domain is set in the Drupal site settings file, e.g. sites/www.example.com/settings.php and you should find a line - probably commented out - that looks like this:
$cookie_domain = 'example.com';
You might need to clear out the cache to make sure that your browser is using the updated JS config files - Firefox in particular likes to hang onto previous versions.
I would think a cow would leave you with some extra credit in hand, so you might want to wait until you're having some problems with taxonomy and cck, and then do a sacrifice to cover everything!

FckEditor 6.1

Dear Mat,
Thanks very much. I finally got it working. I was delayed due to my updating to 6.2 with which I had some problems. But I've learnt a lot.
I had to create a /userfiles/image directory, which I remember seeing
$Config['UserFilesPath'] = '/userfiles/' ;but it took me a while to figure out.
Thanks again.
Greg.

FckEditor 6.1 & Drupal 6.2
Hi,
Glad you got it working - I forgot about that other step in the install-voodoo dance!
Have you got the latest version of FCKeditor (6.x-1.2-1) working with Drupal 6.2? I've done the 6.2 upgrade (haven't seen any problems there), but I'm hesitant to do the FCKeditor upgrade - seeing as it's all working at the moment!
Mat
FckEditor 6.1 with Drupal 6.2
cloudmaker
Yes I've installed Drupal 6.2 and FckEditor 6.1.2-1 works fine, well except for one thing.
When I try to upload images, it appears that they have been uploaded but I can't find them on my sever anywhere if I brows using FCK or ftp client.
I ended up uploading images manually and that works fine.
Any clues?
Additional I have problem with the Garland Theme after upgrading to 6.2.
I ran into a problem, the Garland theme and so put a virginal copy of the them in the Theme directory, which broke it even more.
After thinking about it I decided to look at the various tables via phpmyadmin.
I found that there is a Variables table where in garland had the garland files as something like sites/default/files/color/garland-91832b9d.
So I changed the name of my garland-xxx directory to reflect that and all seemed OK. But then I made some admin change and that change changed the garland-xx number and I had to change it back again. What do you think makes the change and is there any way to change it so that the change that is being made does to break my theme?
Greg.

FCKeditor losing files
Hi,
Yeah, I also had that disappearing images thing at one point, but in fact the upload was working, but the image was being dropped into a different folder that FCKeditor had created at the site root ('/filesimages') as I'd messed up the Userfiles settings in the module settings. So, currently the $Config['UserFilesPath'] setting in the connector config files is commented out, and all the file paths are set through the Drupal interface - just be careful about them slashes between the path elements!
I also ran into the Garland theme problem when trying to sync the local and distant versions of a site. The only workaround I found that worked was to regenerate the color files in the theme settings page, as even symlinking the color files to eachother didn't work.
Mat
Regeneration?
cloudmaker
How did you regenerate the color files? By adjusting the colors?
Greg.
cloudmaker
Regeneration?
Hi,
Well, I just hit 'save' in the theme color settings without modifying anything - that generated a new set of color files (identical to the previous ones) and everything worked OK. Not sure why that was necessary, but modifying the values directly in the system table (via phpMyAdmin), or trying to symlink to a previous set didn't seem to work.
[Update]
Actually, scratch that - it's all coming back to me now! I think I found that the theme would basically refuse to recognise the existing color files until I tweaked the settings to create new ones - at which point the system table was updated with the path to the new ones. Then I opened the old ones (with my correct color settings) and resaved over the new files. Not a very elegant solution, but it worked!

Can't get Imce browser/Fck to Upload to correct directory
Hi,
Thanks for the information above. I have a similar problem that I have not been able to rectify. I have Imce 6x-1.3 and FCK 6x-1.4, running in Drupal 6.14.
First, I cannot get the imce browser to upload images through the file browser in My Account.
Second, I can upload images into nodes from either the server or my local drive, but the uploaded images are always stored in userfiles, and they are not visible in the file browser. When I tried to set up userfiles as a directory for the file browser, imce made a userfiles directory under sites/default/files, which did no good at all.
I have gone over the fck editor profiles, which are set at
Path to uploaded files: %b%f/
Absolute path to uploaded files:%d%b%f/
I went into the config.php file under fck/fck/editor/filemanager/connectors/php, and noted line 33 named the destination folder for uploads as '/userfiles/' :
$Config['UserFilesPath'] = '/userfiles/' ;
I changed this to the path of the fck default folder: sites/default/files.
This did not work. I then began to mess with line 39, which names an absolute path to the fck default folder:
$Config['UserFilesAbsolutePath'] = '' ;
I think I had all the elements pointing to store uploaded images in sites/default/files, including lines 33 and 39 in the config.php file, and in the FCK editor profiles.
I have looked for the cookie to modify, but have not found the specified folder.
This is driving me crazy. I have been pouring over the forums for a day, as you can see from the above. Any direction you can provide would be appreciated,
Alex
I'm having the same sort of
I'm having the same sort of issue where I believe I've changed all the settings so that all the images will be uploaded to "sites/default/files/" but when I navigate to a node, click edit and then choose the add image icon in the editor, I browse to the server and no images are found...just an empty folder "image" to look through. I discovered a "sites" folder at the root and clearly this is the place where new uploads are going, but I didn't create this and so I'm assuming this was generated automatically. How do I get FCKEditor pointed back at the correct folder in my sites folder (not at the root): "sites/default/files/"??? Take a peek:
$Config['UserFilesPath'] = 'drupalinstallfoldername/sites/default/files/' ;
$Config['UserFilesAbsolutePath'] = 'home/myloginname/public_html/drupalinstallfoldername/sites/default/files/' ;
require_once "../../../../../filemanager.config.php";
Isn't this correct? I ran update.php thinking that is was necessary for the change in the config.php file to be recognized. No dice. Please help!
