I'm using TinyMCE and IMCE to insert images into body text. On my "Insert/Edit Image" popup window, there is a field for "Image URL" but no option to browse for a file and upload it. Is this an option that can be configured? I can't find a setting (or it is staring right at me, and I just don't see it).

Any help? Thanks.

I am using Drupal 6.9, have FCKeditor installed and working, have IMCE configured, but when I go to insert Image, I only get the URL field, not an option to upload an image from my PC.

What am I missing?

And I did search, and found this unanswered post...

...perhaps this may be of some use to someone with a similar problem in the future. The suggested installation configuration for this group of modules changed a bit around early-mid 2009.

The best way to install and integrate IMCE with your text editor and to get the browse button to show is as follows:

Download the WYSIWIG API from http://drupal.org/project/wysiwyg and install it
Download the WYSIWIG IMCE Bridge http://drupal.org/project/imce_wysiwyg and install it (this will supply the missing Browse button)

After these two items have been installed and configured appropriately, WYSIWIG will provide a list of different text editors that you can upload. It even provides links to download the most current version as well as easy to follow instructions for how to set up their directory paths . The set up here is a little bit different than a standard Drupal install because you have to create a sites/all/libraries directory and then install your text editor(s) into there (the instructions for each editor vary a bit from editor to editor, but any editor should go into this libraries directory).

From there you just tell WYSIWIG what editor to use and then go in and configure the editor's display and functionality to your liking.

It seems like a little bit of a hassle from the outset, but the nice thing is that you can switch from editor to editor very easily once the architecture is set up. You can even assign different editors to different Input formats if you wanted to.

Hope this helps,
