My company uses Drupal with both TinyMCE and the MCImageManager (also from Moxiecode - http://www.moxiecode.com/products_imagemanager.php ). I noticed that when we switched from the basic TinyMCE to the TinyTinyMCE module, the "access tinymce imagemanager" permission was missing from the access control page.

To solve this, we added a new line below line 92 of tinytinymce.module as follows:

/**
* Implementation of hook_perm
*/
function tinytinymce_perm () {
    return array(
        'administer tinytinymce',
        'use tinytinymce advanced',
        'use tinytinymce simple',
        'use tinytinymce imagemanager'    // new line
    );
}

I realise that this is not completely failsafe, because the name of this permission might change in future releases of MCImageManager, but it does make this permission available and I couldn't think of a better way of achieving this.

Along with MCImageManager there exists an MCFileManager from Moxiecode, so this will probably need a similar permission adding, but since we don't use this, I couldn't tell you what it might be.

Oops, we changed the name of the permission internally, but since this is not advised, the code below uses the original, unmodified perm name.

/**
* Implementation of hook_perm
*/
function tinytinymce_perm () {
    return array(
        'administer tinytinymce',
        'use tinytinymce advanced',
        'use tinytinymce simple',
        'access tinymce imagemanager'    // new line
    );
}

The TinyTinyMCE module now supports the Drupal IMCE module, which offers an Open Source way of uploading and navigating image files.

For users that want to use MCImageManager, I have documented your patch in the INSTALL.txt file which will go into a future release.

Here is what I have written:

INTEGRATION WITH MCImageManager
===============================
(Support for the Drupal IMCE module is built in.  Alternatively, if you wish to use Moxiecode's MCImageManager, you will need to apply the following patch - thanks to chris.cohen.)

Modify tinytinymce.module as follows:
   /**
   * Implementation of hook_perm
   */
   function tinytinymce_perm () {
       return array(
           'administer tinytinymce',
           'use tinytinymce advanced',
           'use tinytinymce simple',
           'access tinymce imagemanager'    // new line
       );
   }

If you think there is anything else I should be adding (any other modules needed?) please let me know.
