image upload module for tinymce (IMCE)
i want to share a module that i use for uploading images with tinymce. it's a very lightweight module working with 4.7.x.
Features:
- doesnt require any other image related modules since image handling is minimal. no image nodes. no thumbnail creation.
- allows only .jpg, .png, and .gif formats.
- upload, list, view and delete images.
- uploads images to personal directories. (system_file_directory/u.userid)
- configurable upload limits: Filesize per upload(default:100kb), image dimensions(default:500x500), total quota per user(default:500kb).
- upload and administer permissions for user roles. administer permission removes upload limits.
- detects tinymce action and automatically throws necessary .js to activate image browser. it uses tinymce's "file_browser_callback" setting to be activated in tinymce's image popup window. By this method, nothing needs to be done in order to use the module except enabling the module in modules page.
Installation:
- download imce.module
- extract to modules directory.(files should be in modules/imce)
- go to admin/modules page and activate imce.
- to change default settings go to admin/settings/imce
after activating the module you should see the browse icon in tinymce's image popup window. Click it and upload images. you can view images in the list by clicking rows. you can add path and dimension information to tinymce's popup by clicking the add link or the image in preview area. here's a screenshot of working module from my local site.
Excellent!
Great stuff! Simple and useful, I love it. Just one thing: Would it be hard to use the username for the directory, instead of u<userid>?
Edit: Actually, I just hacked it to just use a static directory, which works better for my purposes anyway. It would be nice to be able to configure the path, e.g., like pathauto, where you could enter a static path, or one with placeholders like [user], [uid], etc.
imce better than img_assist
I think that imce works a lot easier than img_assist for the main reason that imce is easier to get up and running. Thanks ufku. Any plans to get this into the contributed modules section on this website?
I too figured out the hack that eagereyes applied. This allows you to have all users (in my case, it's just the "editors" that I'm allowing to add images anyway) work out of a static directory (in this case it's files/images).
<?php//old line (lines 46 and 66 in imce.module):
$dir = file_directory_path().'/u'.$user->uid;
?>
<?php//new line (lines 46 and 66 in imce.module):
$dir = file_directory_path().'/images';
?>
Thanks again!

thanks for the
thanks for the comments.
eagereyes; i think username is not very reliable for personal folder names since users may be allowed to change their names. some flexibility can be added for the "u" part. but ID is indispensible for differentiating the folders.
and the static folder issue; at first sight, making it optional doesnt seem to be a big deal. I didnt think about this thoroughly, but using a shared folder will probably require a delete permission to prevent misusage.
ok, i'll look into these issues.
blalond; about drupal module conribution. first i should have enough free time and then learn how to contribute and then i can do it :)
Good points
I didn't really think this through. I guess if you choose one (global) folder, nobody (except user 1) would be allowed to delete or overwrite anything, otherwise you could do all kinds of code insertion by just replacing an image with some php code or something similar (not sure if that would really work, but I recently read something about cross-site scripting, and now I'm getting paranoid). My site only has one editor for the time being, so I was really only thinking of myself. This might not be practical for a true multi-user environment.
But don't get me wrong, I've been using your module since I found it, and can't imagine living without it anymore. ;)
File type restrictions
I'm no security expert, but I think the XSS issue is addressed by the restrictions on which file types can be uploaded.
Leave the "Non-image file support" field blank, and only image files are supported by the module. If you add other extensions, just make sure .php isn't one of them.
Can anybody back up my assumptions on this?
Is the site temporarily
Is the site temporarily down, or has this "module" been undownloadable for awhile? I really really hope not.

Works for me
I just tried it, and had no problems downloading the file. Send me a message and I'll email it to you if you can't get through to the server.
I just tried it again... it
I just tried it again... it was temporarily down. I should of been more patient :-)
~John
Awesome
This module is exactly what I was looking for. I've been struggling most of this morning trying to get image && image_assist to work. They worked, but the UI was just horrible. Plus creating an image as a node just doesn't seem right.
What would be really cool is if you made a clone of this module for file uploading and selection. I quickly looked through imce.module to see if there was a way to make it hook into the Insert/Edit Link dialogue, but I'm a drupal newbie and haven't yet dived into the world of creating modules.
Absolute awesome job!
~John
should contribute
i have some hosting problems nowadays. the file may not be avaliable time to time. sorry for that.
anyway i decided to contribute to drupal modules. as soon as i finish reading the contributers guide i'll apply for a cvs account. than the module will probably be avaliable at project pages.
jbjaaz; if you want to enable link browser. just delete the line
if (type!='image') return;//work for only imagesin imce_set.js file. imce can work as a file browser too. but not supporting files other than images. Extending imce as a file uploader... ummm... lets say simple is better for now :)
I agree it would make imce
I agree it would make imce rather complicated. Thats why I suggested making a second module which was strictly for file uploading.

I am also not able to download this file. Please email it to me at jeff@fireball3d.com.
I can also re-host it if you want.
100%
100% pure awesome in a nice little package. This module is true to the way modules should be. Simple, efficient, compatible!

Good module
It works, it's quite simple.
I'm not sure about the storage in different user folders though. It could be an option, in case you need several people to be editors of the website, and have a common image repository.
finally
fnally in projects!
http://drupal.org/project/imce
differences from this unofficial release:
- added configurable prefix for personal directory names. default is "u".
- added support for a common(shared) directory( to be used instead of personal directories) for all users. it can be activated in the configuration page.
- user permissions changed: view files, upload files, delete files, limitless upload.
- added non-image file uploading/browsing support that can be activated by defining allowed extensions in configuration page.
if you upgrade you'll only need to assign new permissions to user roles. no other configuration chages required.
Excellent module. This will
Excellent module. This will allow my users to maintain their own sites easier than before.
Imce --- Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in imce.module
Hello All,
Ufku, thank u for the imce module. Got everything installed including tinymce which can be a bit tricky. However, when going to image icon, in tinymce, then clicking "browse" button, I get the below error messg, instead of being redirected to say, my local directory where an image may be selected for upload:
======
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/bfnnetwo/public_html/drupal/modules/imce/imce.module on line 73
======
Has anyone experienced this????? -- thank u in advance for your help.
check directory
most probably the directory of your choice (personal or shared) is not accessible(not exists or not readable). try changing the directory name(if you use a shared folder) or prefix(if you use personal folders) in settings page. check(by ftp) if drupal creates the directory you want. (note: the directory is created after you run imce.)
My directory settings @ files/images
Ukfu,
Thank u for your time and reply. As a news site whereby there are multiple contributors and syndicated content, I thought it more appropriate for us to utilize a shared directory as opposed to each contributor having a personal directory.
As such, I utilized the "files/images" directory format (files permission 777-files/images permission 777) in my imce settings which is similar to the format utilized by Drupal/ftp ---- I just thought that since Drupal (image.module) already recognized this format, that I would continue to utilize even though at the same time, I discontinued the utilization of the image.module. Imce seemed to provide users with some leeway to establish personal/shared directory, so it was my thinking that the files/images setting would be ok.
"the directory is created after u run imce" ----- I do not really understand this process, could u expound a bit? If the directory is created after imce is run, does this mean that the field in imce settings, can be left blank???
Please advise and again thank u for your time and reply,
? -- Maybe I made a simple module complicated
Ukfu,
I was jus thinking that maybe I have acted to make a simple module complicated. Maybe instead of utilizing a imce directory setting of files/images, I should of maybe just used files or images, singularly.
Would this make a diffence in terms of the invalid argument ???
Thanking u in advance for your time and reply,
imce first gets the shared
imce first gets the shared folder. if it is not declared it uses personal folders. these folders are relative to your files directory(to use "files/images", just enter "images").
"the directory is created after u run imce" ; when you click the browse button, imce creates the directory if it isnt there.
in your case, a folder with permission 777 wouldnt be a problem. what about the chmod of image files in that folder? are they accessible by php?
Ahhh! I see, I follow U!
Ufku,
In my case, I had entered files/images in imce @ "use a shared folder" and images @ personal folder.
have updated my settings to: personal folders = blank; use shared folders= images
I WILL ATTEMPTED TO UPLOAD AN IMAGE WITH NEW SETTINGS AND CHECK RESULT. I am sooooooooo anxious to use this most wonderful module.
chmod? is this the same as changing permissions? permissions for image files, within, file folder is also set @ 777. Should I be looking in another area for chmod settings? -- please advise.
Really appreciate your assistance -- thank U!!!.
chmod=permissions
chmod=permissions. permissions can be set for every single file. previously created files may not be accessible even if your folder is 777. drupal and imce set chmod 664 for uploaded files to make them accessible for everyone.
Thank U!
ufku ---Mucho, Mucho Gracious (thank u very, very much!!!! :)
Imce image upload worked like a charm!
Hello All,
Just wanted to report back. Image upload with imce module worked like a charm once I set "shared directory to "images", instead of, files/images. Since the shared directory is already set relative to the files directory, only the input of "images" was necessary.
Ufku really did a nice job with this module(thank u Ufku!!!!). It was as if he really designed it with the user in mind --- simple and straight forward----. Perhaps IMCE module, in conjunction with Tinymce as an editor, could/should be made part of Drupal core as the core package really should be accompanied by an image tool to really complete it as a basic CMS. The Drupal core install beginning with 4.7,IMHO, is really smooth and becoming better all the time.
Only one word of note: While the imce module is simple, it works in conjunction with and requires the tinymce module, which itself requires installation of the tinymce engine(not included with contributed Drupal, tinymce module). The installation of the tinymce module, in conjunction with the tinymce engine is detailed oriented and the install instructions should be followed closely and carefully ---- it is not hard!!!! you just should follow instructions closely and carefully as depositing the right files/file folders into the right directories is important, and makes the difference(I installed twice before I got it right--I had placed the engine too deep into the module/tinymce directory).
Hint: Generally, when I extract a zip, I extract to my desktop instead of directly to modules for instance. In this process, I will generally create a new folder on my desk top to extract the zip to. Well, this really creates an extra folder for which the extracted folder is actually extracted to. Just make sure when you upload (ftp is best) the folder to your modules that u upload the actual and whole tinymce folder and/or tinymce engine folder's respectively, into the correct directories.
Nice Work (Keep it UP!)
It's really a nice work. Very Helpful module
For the Basic Users It is really helpful to give them interface instead of physical work.
This is beautiful!
When we are developing a site for a community of users, you want to keep it simple so that they can upload/edit their post with a minimum of complexity or fuss.
I think this module accomplishes that.
Thank you for such a great module.
button missing
Hi there,
I just installed IMCE but I don't get the "browse" button in the TINYMCE image pop-up window.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks!!
Did you remember...
Did you remember to turn access control for your chosen user on for the imce module?

where do we go from here?
Just wanted to discuss the future direction of IMCE. My 2 cents
http://drupal.org/node/79932
I am also pasting it here, so that the whole discussion here is in context.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It will be really useful if users are given the facility to create/delete/organize their files using folders. Just imagine, over a period of time, each user may have hundreds of images, all in one folder. That would be difficult to navigate eventually. So I think, folder management will be great.
Updates
#1 submitted by ufku on August 22, 2006 - 15:15
These kind of features will lead imce to be a comlete file manager. Actually i think that imce shouldnt be a fat full-featured file browser. or should it?
#2 submitted by syedasad on August 23, 2006 - 00:28
I am just thinking from the perspective of an end user. It doesn't matter how one implements it, but as far as the user is concerned, he/she is just able to maintain his own files in a folder hierarchy, navigate using a file manager interface and then insert the image.
This simplifies things for him/her.
Secondly, I am thinking of a point in time, when each user has hundreds if not thousands of images. He/She will need a way to organize all those. This module will be a victim of its own success if it does not scale up and provide a method to organize huge amount of files.
File manager features allows it to scale to handle any number of files.
#3 submitted by syedasad on August 23, 2006 - 21:09 updated
I had been thinking about this a lot. Finally, what you said in your first comment made sense. It's better to create a completely new module which only does file management.
Does drupal have one? At least not that I am aware of and if yes, could it be seamlessly integrated with IMCE for browsing folders of images?
In fact, the TinyMCE project has 2 such plugins
1. MCFileManager (http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/paypal/item_filemanager.php)
2. MCImageManager (http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/paypal/item_imagemanager.php)
We seem to have a McDrupalImageManager now. :)
What we need now.....
1. We need a generic file manager module and
2. Integrated with IMCE
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is not possible now, is
This is not possible now, is it? That's unfortunate, as it seems to be a necessity right now. How difficult would this type of feature be?
thats what i need
have they come up with a user folder creation module yet so that users can organize there own files? if so please let me know what it is
I have the same problem.
I have the same problem. I've installed, activated and configured the module, and set the access control, but no browse button appears in the image popup in tinymce. Is anyone else having this problem? I've tried it on different browsers, and tried clearing the cache. Pretty sure I have the most recent version of imce, and am running tinymce for 4.7. Can't figure out what else to try.
any other image browser?
make sure you dont have any other image browser plugins like ibrowser. make sure you dont have plugin names as "imagemanager" or "filemanager". these are tinymces default browsers. and imce doesnt replace them if they are active in order to prevent conflicts.
Same problem - No browse icon
I can't see the browse icon in image or link popup of tinymce. I followed the steps in install.txt. Tried earlier versions of TinyMCE. Tried FF and IE browsers. I've tried a new install of drupal 4.7.3, without any other plugins or modules, the icon just won't show up.. What to do?
xtemplate?
are you using xtemplate?
Problem with the theme
Okay i found the problem. With bluemarine theme it's working, but with the ADC theme its not.. its the same engine: phptemplate. There are two .js files in adc theme, maybe it has conflict with the theme's js?
any js error?
do you see any javascript error with the other theme? if not, do you see imce_set.js is present in the source code?
why i asked about xtemplate is that imce_set.js is never added to the page becouse xtemplate calls header/footer functions in different order. i fixed this in cvs version.
no errors, but imce_set.js is missing
No JS errors, but imce_set.js is missing from the source. I've installed the CVS version, same problem.
closure
make sure you have the $closure variable in your page.tpl.php file. it contains the html that footer hook returns.
My java console shows a
My java console shows a variety of "Unknown property" errors pertaining to the editor_content.css in my tinymce/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/themes/advanced/css folder. I have no idea what this means. I'm a bit lost. My theme is chameleon. Anyone come up with any solutions for this?
This worked for me...
I use a modified version of Aqua-soft. Sure enough, the closure statement wasn't in the page.tpl.php file. Once I added it, the browse button appeared.
Thanks.
For us newbies
Can you copy the exact code we should put in that file, and where we should put it?
Thanks,
Andrea
Not working for me either
I've been using the ADC theme and I also don't see the IMCE browse button. Has anyone identified the problem? It looks like the template has the call to closure. . .
Thx,
-Bob
Images not showing
Images do not show in Image Preview window and on page, only image frame. Path is correct and I have checked the restrictions, they should be adequate: upload and imce: image size 2000x2000 pixels etc...
I do not have any other image modules.
Experienced the same
Check to see that the input format for the node allows images or does it
strip them away,
Filtered HTML for example by default does not allow img tags
Full HTML on the other hand does
(FYI: Its a generic setting it has nothing to do with tinyMCE or IMCE)

Image Browser not required
This is an excellent module - does exactly what i need - except for one issue.
My site takes in articles from anonymous users - and they need to upload images accordingly. Now - i dont want them to see all the images. Is it possible to change the module a bit so that there is no image browser - just an "Upload" Button instead of the browse button on the default tinyMCE image pop up.
Inline module?
If you users always upload new images, and never use existing ones, you could have a look at inline module.
They upload images like any other atached file, but you can choose to display images automatically in the content.
I've already posted this in
I've already posted this in development thread but one more time :)
When the dimensions of an image are larger than allowed values and Scale if necessary is checked, it gives me an error Error scaling image. Do you know where would be a problem ?
Even though, I think this module really rocks ! Img_assist was quite complicated for lame user, this is simple, robust, useful, ... Thanks buddy
Just agreeing with everyone
Just agreeing with everyone else! This is a better module than img_assist. (I've been having trouble with img_assist not cooperating with tinymce so finding this was a bonus)
And it's brilliant. Cheers for writing+releasing it!
No Browser Button on certain themes
I just installed this program to my drupal and couldn't find the browser button in tiny mce.
Based on a comment above, I changed the theme to bluemarine and it showed up!
But it wouldn't show up in chameleon or marvin. I really wish to use the marvin theme. Is there anything that I can do?
Thank you.
theme closure
you should have closure in your theme. it is inserted in different ways. some themes use theme_closure() function directly, and some use $closure varible. almost all themes including marvin and chameleon have the closure by default. if it's not there add 'theme_closure()' just before the body closing tag.
Thank you for your reply. I
Thank you for your reply. I looked for a page.tpl.php but it didn't exist. I did find default.tpl.php and added the closure line that you recommended.
Unfortunately, it didn't fix the problem. Do you have any other suggestions?
chameleon.theme
theme file for chameleon is chameleon.theme
Don't know how much use this
Don't know how much use this will be, or if it just goes without saying, but run try running update.php if the browse button isn't showing up. I'm using chameleon too, and nothing else would get imce working. Maybe the system thinks it's an update for tinymce. I've since installed it on three sites, with the same result each time. It doesn't work at all until I run the update, and then it works perfectly. Sorry again if this is obvious stuff. Just didn't see it mentioned above so I thought I'd throw it out there.
btw, i didn't need to do anything with the theme file or the closure line.
I tried adding the closure
I tried adding the closure line to chameleon.theme as well as running update.php
Neither are working for me under chameleon or marvin themes.
use cvs
strange! my chameleon works fine. if you are not using latest version download it from project page. otherwise, if including imce_set.js in every single page doesnt bother you, include it manually in your theme using the correct path.
Just to be certain, is the IMCE/CVS version correct?
ufku, first off, thank u for your interest, time, effort and the 'can do spirit' in putting together the imce module. It is an absolute blessing for many.
Just to be certain as to the correct version of imce, is the 4.7 version or the cvs version dated 8/30/06 the correct and most updated version of the imce module which users should be using at this time?
Please advise
Thanks again,
Please put this on your chest: (SH) --- You are our SuperHero!
cvs is 4.7.x
cvs is 4.7.x + some extra features (file sorting, higlighting of new files, scaling of big images) + a fix for xtemplate + a fix for view permission. i'm using the old 4.7 version and had none of the problems that users reported. It's about user's server, themes, etc. I'm trying to make imce work with as many configurations as possible. Therefore, your feedbacks are valuable. If you have problems with 4.7 you can safely try cvs version which has a few fixes for some configuration differences.
thanks.
Thanks!
I was a little confused by the odd timestamps on the project page, but I downloaded and installed the CVS version anyway. The browse button is back. Thanks!

do you experience the same problem with other admin/settings/module pages?
Imce error messg
ufku, I have not experienced any problems currently, but yes, along the way, I have seen a similar issue with a few other modules. While not always the same, it is usually the result of a specific issue with scripts and/or settings which cause a conflict, and thus the error messg. The issues are not always the same. However, I have found that the specific issues are generally experience by multiple users. Thus, I have reached out to ascertain if any have had the same problem.
Everything else re the imce module and its installation seems to have gone smoothly. Have this issue sort of keeps u from confirming the initial settings for the module. For instance, when u go to save the imce settings, the below error messg is returned:
=====

Some upgrades require you to run update.php
No idea if that is the cause of your errors, but here's a Documentation link for you.
http://drupal.org/upgrade/do-i-upgrade-the-db
Thank U for the Link!
Ash, Thank u for the link. I actually did/have run the update.php script, yet the error still displays. I will have a look at the link as a chance to really get clear on the whole update.php process. I am 8 months deep into the Drupal process, starting as a new, and I have come a long, long, long way.
Again, thank u for your time, interest and reply.
Duplicate Entry Error --- found solution! -- fixed
First off, while the duplicate error could be caused by the imce module, it is an error which can and does involve any module in relationship with its database table, in conjunction with the specific module's id sequence # located in the sequences table in the database.
The explaination of the problem is straight forward and the solution to adjust is fairly simple. Both can be found at: drupal.org/node/69722.
How this helps someone get over a small speed bump, smoothly and quickly.
Drupal ver came with CivicSpace: What do I upgrade for imce?
Civicspace 0.8.5
----------------------------
- Includes Drupal patches from 4.6.8
I downloaded CivicSpace as a package. My understanding was it is the basic Drupal program with the recommended modules for a community web site. What do I need to upgrade to keep all the current modules working and use imce?
U need tinymce module-- IMCE module only for 4.7 or higher
Ash,
Just to add Imce to your base 4.6.8 install, you will need to install tinymce.module which is a contributed module. Also, you will need to install the tinymce engine (this is a separate product from the tinymce.module) which u can/will find information as to location in the tinymce install/readme file.
regarding installing the tinymce engine, please pay careful attention to the install of the, tinymce engine plugin, "Drupalimage directory", as it was initially installed in the wrong folder ---- don't be intimidated with this, just follow the instructions. it is just a matter of uploading the "Drupalimage" directory to the correct folder.
Also, FYI, the Imce module on ly works with Drupal 4.7 or higher. I would recommend if you are only doing a basic Drupal install, with not many contributed modules to load, that u consider a fresh 4.7 install. If not, you will have to make use of some of the other image modules, which I have personally found very difficult to get functioning properly.
imce without drupal
hey guys,
this sounds like that what i am lookin for ;-)
is there a way to integrate the module in the TinyMCE without using Drupal? i use the editor for my own CMS and need this file browsing module very irgent!
thanks in advance to all of u

If it is this module, please share your lines in plugin_reg.php to get this working (and any other steps necessary), if it's a different module/steps, please share.
no need for a plugin
you dont need advanced image plugin.
in your tinymce profile page, there should be an image button under "buttons and plugins" section.
note: tinymce simple theme does not show this button.
man, i knew i was missing
man, i knew i was missing something that everyone else has with no problem. a clean re-install of tincymce/tinymce module gave me the image icon plus fixed A LOT of other little issues I've been having with TinyMCE for months.
So, now that I've used imce module, I can add to the chorus - bravo to ufku - it's perfect in it's usage and simplicity - it just works. i've finally found my drupal image solution i've been looking for.

imce safe themes
hi
i was hoping someone could tell me what themes are "imce safe themes"
i know bluemarine is, but what else?
Perfect
A small but perfect imageuploader.
Great!
Thanks
important!
recently, imce has been announced to have some security vulnerabilities. especially if you give delete permission to someone who you may not trust, you should download the 4.7 version from project page
CVS versions before $Id: imce.module,v 1.6 2006/09/29 13:50:57 ufku Exp $ are vulnerable.

Imce error
I get the following error on clicking the browse/insert icon in IMCE
warning: getimagesize(): Read error! in /home/parry/public_html/drupal/modules/imce/imce.module on line 243.
Could anyone advise why I might be getting this error, please.
Thanks
permissions
If accessing the image is impossible, or if it isn't a valid picture, getimagesize() will return NULL and generate a warning.
if the image is uploaded by drupal/imce there wouldnt be any problem regarding access permissions.

Hi Ukfu
I can access the image even though i get the error message and indeed it appears in the tinymce text area but it doesn't appear in the published page/story. I'd really like to sort this out as I think the imce module is ideal for what I need (good work ufku).
Look forward to your reply. Thanx.
input format
this is generally due to input formats. check yours if it allows img tags.

How can I use this module in
How can I use this module in additon to setting up user galleries on my website?
I want each user to be able to organize photos in their own personal galllery and also be able to easily insert those images into blog posts/forums topics. This module seems to do the latter but is there a way to get it to share images that are in their gallery?
Please help, im so confused.

Quick ? imce image capabilities
Hello ufku,
I have the imce module in place and operating and have recently installed the video module which states that the image module must be installed as well in order for the video module to function.
My ? is: are u aware if the image capabilities of imce can work in the place of the image module for this function. My past experience with the image.module was not very successful. In fact, I aborted the install in favor of the much efficient and less time consumer imce module.
Please advise when u get a chance. Thanks again for imce module, it is so sweet.
imce has minimal image
imce has minimal image capabilities(resizing and image info) and this is not enough for video module. You can enable image.module and prefer not to use it. you may let only the video module or other image dependent modules use it.

Enable, Not use it!
Enable it and not use it! Makes sense, I didn't think of this.
Thanks Ufku!
Thanks
Thanks. After I posted, I learned that this was a bug fix, apparently within 24 hours of my download.
Are there any plans to attach a version number to imce for easier reference?
Thanks,
Philip

there is a new project
there is a new project release module going to be incorporated into drupal.org which will open up and benefit the entire community. it may roll out with 5.0 from what i've read in the dev areas
Recurrence
Ack! This error is recurring, same line number.
Now, I had the then-latest imce working and was testing it fairly heavily. I had missed the "limitless upload" access control setting, so the last thing I did before seeing this error recur was to UNCHECK that setting for a certain profile. Then, still logged in as admin (but I think with that same profile), I started getting a recurrence of this error. RECHECKING the setting doesn't appear to be fixing it either, nor does logging in as a user that I know has this profile I'm changing.
For all I know the setting could have nothing to do with it and something else salient changed in my configuration, but at any rate the access control / limitless upload was the last thing to have changed.
I'll hack away and see what I can find, but meanwhile any background info on drupal_get_token would be helpful. TIA.
http://philipreedtech.com
To state shortly,
To state shortly, drupal_get_token is a security related function to make sure the user views a form before submitting it. it comes with 4.7.4 and wont work with previous releases. current version of imce doesnt use this function and works with all 4.7.x.

My browse button is fixed now
Well thanks to this thread I am straight.
My image browse button was not working in the Bluemarine theme...hehe (everything should work in that theme). It was not a theme problem.
Here's what I did:
1) added images folder to my files folder: /files/images (chmodded both to 777)
2) In IMCE settings, I left "personal folder names" blank; and set "use a shared folder" to: images
3) In TinyMCE settings - Buttons & Plugins section, I unchecked "Advanced Image". (For me everything else is checked)
Thanks again :)
Thank you!
I've been using Drupal quite some time now, but one of the reasons why one of my installations is still running an ancient version (plus security updates) is that I had not found an alternative to the version of HTMLArea (plus some ImageManager extension) that I was using and hacked up to do something similar to the one-directory-per-user thing like this module does. Alas, my "hack" happened not to work with newer HTMLArea versions anymore (and lacking time I didn't update), and other solutions like image.module etc. were not to the taste of my users.
So thank you very much for providing me with an upgrade path. :)
imce api
the next version will introduce a small api like feature that will allow custom imce calls. if you open imce in any pop-up that has a name (window.open('imce/browse', 'popupName')), imce will search for your custom finishing function named as popupNameImceFinish and call it with parameters of image path, image width, image height, and imce window when the user clicks the add link. You will be able to do anything with these parameters in your custom function. This will make imce work with any wysiwyg editor or even with plain textareas(inline img or link insertion). tinymce, fckeditor and plain textarea support will be included as default.

More on resizing / size limits
From the above discussion about IMCE versus image module, I got the impression that IMCE doesn't really support resizing. If I'm misunderstanding, please correct my understanding.
I need to be able to upload an image and have it resized to some max. size while scaling. I have Gallery2 installed and I'm pretty sure if I dig around the code enough, I'll find a library that is of use -- any suggestions, Gallery users?
Also, it doesn't look like the settings for max height and width are being observed. I have only one profile and I logged in as the user with the profile assigned, so I don't think that's the issue. Should I expect it to complain and not let me do the upload? The settings are right there in plain view (I made them 20x20 to cause an obvious conflict) but the upload goes on without a hitch.
Thanks.

imce will only resize an image to allowed dimensions if the dimensions exceed the limits. and also "enable resizing" option should be checked. next version will support both thumbnail creation and custom resizing of any image. i plan to make new features avaliable for 4.7 version before releasing 5.0

File Path Settings
Is there any way to insert an image with the full site URL? Reason for this is when I use TinyMCE and IMCE to create a newsletter the images will not show up unless it is an absolute URL.
Let me know when you get a chance.
Thanks,
txcrew
there should be something
there should be something about url conversion in tinymce documentation. since the default settings in tinymce doesnt convert relative urls to absolute ones, i think you'll need to hack it if you want to change the configuration.

quota bug?
i set a quota of 500k for a user. it turns out this user is the biggest contributor to my site. suddenly pictures from the earlier articles he posted have begun disappearing.
when i checked his directory on the server, i did not find the earlier pictures. in fact his directory had pictures that had a total disk usage of 488k.
i believe imce deletes older files when the quota is reached. i did not know this would happen. i made the quota for this user 5mb. i need to know how to remove quota for this particular user.
i would also like to know whenever a user approaches his client. this default action of deleting older pictures is disastrous. the administrator should be able to set the default action or pick an action depending on his preference per user.
thanks
IMCE has no automatic file
IMCE has no automatic file deletion feature. The user himself probably deleted the files.
IMCE 5 supports role based settings. You can define a role for a particular user or a user group and set quota etc. for it. You can also disable deleting.
For 4.7 users there is a special edition of IMCE having latest added features. You can try it at http://drupal.ufku.com.

IMCE & templates
Hi I like IMCE very much ... and after the security patch I cannot solve one small problem ... its not possible to upload images thru it using my template (means that the button to show directory with uploaded pictures doesn't appear) ... is there some kind of solution? I've tryed to switch template to bluemarine and there it works. if someone know where is problem with template or other modules used it will be great
closure
make sure your template contains $closure variable in it. you can see it in bluemarine at the end of the page.tpl.php

Browser generating error message
Loaded IMCE and can see browser button but when I click on the button I get this error:
"The requested URL /sites/default/index.php was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request."
Any thoughts ?
