Hi There,
I am building a site for a small local school. I have FCKeditor installed and am happy with it.
In the module page for FCK it mentions the following

At the moment there are several options for using images in FCKeditor.
1. The built in filemanager, which needs some manual configuration.
2. The IMCE module which needs almost no configuration.
3. The Image Browser module
4. The Web File Manager module (available in FCKeditor dev release only at this moment)
5. The Image Assist module
6. The upload module - which allows file and image attachments to nodes. By copying the URL of the attachment you can use it in the FCKeditor dialog.

Im looking for recomendations from people for the best way to manage images with FCKeditor. What image module do you recomend from the list above.
I want it easy for the end user to edit page content and add or edit images to suit.
As we all know this can go quite wrong layout wise if people dont know what they are doing with images and text.

All help appreciated.

regards
Gecko

I'm upgrading my website from Drupal 5 to 6, and have been using FckEditor for about 1.5 years now.

Last year, I checked out some of the available Drupal image modules and wasn't happy with any of them, so I instead integrated "AjaxFileManager" from http://www.phpletter.com/Demo/Ajax-File--Manager/ By the way, I did some custom development in AjaxFileManager to change some of its behavior, so maintaining it was going to be an on-going problem.

Yesterday, since I didn't feel like re-integrating the AjaxFileManager, I decided to check out the latest version of IMCE and have to say that it has come a long way! It provides everything I need, and seems to be pretty stable.

So I would recommend giving IMCE a try.
