How to Upload an Image with img_assist
Icenrye - October 14, 2006 - 19:56
Ok, silly question .....
How do you upload an image with img-assist? When I click the image button, it opens a box with an "upload button". When i click it, I get this: http://icenrye.com/upload.jpg
How do i get to an image on my desktop?
Thanks.
Hope Image/Image Assist works for U, but give this a try also!
Hello,
I hope Image and Image Assist work for you in terms of getting the modules uploaded and working as they should. This was not the case for many (per all of the forum postings), including myself.
As such, may I recommend the IMCE module located below:
http://drupal.org/node/78033
(this tread has been updated. The updated thread may be found at tread the bottome of #78033. However, I would recommend that u perview both treads for your own edification)
It seems that all who have used it, including myself, testify of its greater ease of use and simplicity.
Much Success to U!
img_assist will only allow
img_assist will only allow you to insert images that have already been uploaded as nodes (administer > create content > images). The imce module for Tinymce will allow you to directly insert images from your dektop (or from any other directory on your computer)

The img_assist module allows
The img_assist module allows you to upload images. IMCE is simpler, but img_assist is better in some instances since it creates images as nodes (which can be included on multiple pages, linked to full size version, etc) and it allows resizing of the images.
Thanks.
Thanks for your reconmendations. I uploaded imice, however my biggest problem, other than images is that I am totally lost getting tinyMCE to work, but that's another issue.
follow tinymce install instructions closely!!
follow tinymce instructions closely as it pertains to the correct directories in which all the components should be installed(i.e. tinymce engine, spellcheck, etc...).
There is no margin for error here, you must install everything in the correct directories or imce will not work.
A typical problems that I found and was confirmed by tracking probs others had on the forum, is installing tinymce, one level, too deep in the directories. Installing by way of FTP upload allows u to drop an entire module(tinymce engine, spellcheck, etc....), and its components, into the correct directory.
Just take your time! Installing everything where it should go is the biggest issue -- insure this first and u will be rolling. imce will not work correctly without the tinymce engine (not the tinymce module) being installed in the correct location.
Hope this assist u at some level.
One level too deep?
Hello publishing,
I have uploaded tinymce via FTP to a directory in the modules directory to a sub-directory entitled "tinymce". I then enable the module. I then went to administer/settings to set up roles. I get this:
This was in response to the directive found in the install instructions:
So figuring that I had placed it one too deep, I moved the tinymce sub-directory into the modules directory, where I disabled and then re-enabled the module. I then went to administer/settings to set up the roles again, and got this error:
I then found your post, and so I repeated everything with a Zen calm, paying close attention to every detail. The error persists. I have repeatedly changed the directory depth, with no success.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

tinymce module & tinymce engine install are separate
Ben, continue to be patient, it works.
As I mentioned in earlier post u most really be careful, even map you course. Even with Zen like calm u still make sure u are installing in correct directory paths.
"Could not find the TinyMCE engine installed at modules/tinymce/tinymce/tinymce/. Please download TinyMCE, uncompress it and copy the folder into modules/tinymce/tinymce."
For instance, the above error messg tells me that u are "1" level too deep in your files setup. You have modules/tinymce/tinymce/tinymce --- and it should be: modules/tinymce/tinymce.
I think u must be careful in creating the folder: tinymce, then dropping the install files into the "newly" created folder. The install file is already set @ tinymce and you are installing @ module/tinymce, this then gives u path: modules/tinymce/tinymce, instead of: modules/tinymce/tinymce/tinymce/
To cut down on confusion, I would just start afresh with the tinymce install so that u can follow a clear trial from start to finish and u can back track your steps, in case, u need to re,re,re,re do it. Also insure that you under stand that the tinymce.module and the tinymce engine are separate and both must be installed. The tinymce engine is obtained from an third party, non drupal source.
Hope it helps a bit!
Ben, there are 2 parts to
Ben, there are 2 parts to the TinyMCE install. There is the module and there is the engine. Sounds like you didn't install the engine itself from http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/ and extract it into the tinymce/tinymce folder properly.
It really works well once you get it going. good luck.
tinymce install, lessons learned
I got TinyMCE installed on Drupal 5.1. So far so good. I learned two things which might help.
1) the install instructions on Drupal seem incomplete, and the download links seem reversed.
"Users must download and copy the TinyMCE folder into the module directory "
That download actually is the TinyMCE editor itself from MoxieCode. It's not the module.
I uninstalled TinyMCE & started again, and reversed the nesting. It now looks like this:
tinymce/
-----plugins/
-----po/
-----tinymce.install
-----tinymce.install
-----tinymce/ { docs/, examples/, jscripts/ }
That is, there is a tinymce directory within the tinymce module directory.
2) Not all TinyMCE functions worked the first time through, such as subscripts, underlining, tables. I thought Drupal's own filtering functions might be in conflict. A post (I forget where) suggested creating an input filter:
Home » Administer » Site configuration » Input Formats » Add Input Format
with no filters enabled (all unchecked). I made this the default, and now the other functions seem to work.
I note I've used the words "seem" and "might" a lot. Who knows what tomorrow will bring.
Meles has it
Thank you meles. The instructions on the tinyMCE module page are awful, and you are right that they have their links reversed. A newbie like myself could spend a lifetime looking at that page and not make any progress.
"INSTALLATION: Installing the TinyMCE module is a TWO STEP PROCESS"
yet it only gives 1 step, and even that is a jumbled mess of the two.
Centering image in tinyMCE
Could somebody point me who to center image in tyniMCE?
Img_assist provides only possibility to have images floating left or right, and no chance to make it centered.

center would be useful
I agee. cener would be useful.
Centering image in tinyMCE
Check that you have enabled the various icons/buttons.
You get to them this way:
Administer > Modules > TinyMCE > Configure > Icons & Buttons
(click on it and the Icon section expands)
How it behaves exactly may depend on your browser & OS.
I get different behaviors in (Firefox, Opera, Explorer, Safari).
MoxieCode has a table somewhere showing which functions work in which browser.

Added images with TinyMCE not showing on website
Hi,
I have TinyMCE working and also the module to add images directly from my pc. Everything works fine. When I create a page with text and an inmage, the added image shows in the editing window, but when I save the page the image doesn't show, only tekst. Editing the page again the image is still visible in the TinyMCE editing window. Apparently the user-interface does not show images at all. What did I do wrong? Do I miss something on the settings page or the site configuration?
