After playing around by creating an API class for document manager, I see that we use FCK Resources browser for image TV, but it’s not being implemented for File TV. Is there any reason why we’re not using the same resources manager/browser for both file and image?
Another thought as well, is there any plan to use a different resource browsers? It seems that there has been a few suggesiton in using iManager and etc, but I’m still not satisfied with it, in fact, I like the resources browser that we have right now, what do you guys think about this matter? Any explanation of why this is not an appropriate solution and we need to look for a new resources browser will be awesome, considering I want to use this resource browser extensively with MODx.
Sincerely,
Ok...first, in regards to TinyMCE, I’ve played a bit with the PHP compressor script and...well...I don’t really think it does a whole lot in terms of making TinyMCE load that much faster. Plus, integrating it makes it a bit more difficult to retain full control over the setting from within the plugin code so...I just left it out.
As far as making the Resource Browser the file picker for File TVs...that’s a pretty good idea! I’m all for the idea myself.
And, yes, I’m exploring options for replacing the current Resource Browser with something else that’s more stable, robust and offers better integration with MODx. However, it’s starting to look like a rather daunting task and one that will require a significant amount of time to deliver. I’ve looked at iManager and it looks pretty cool for the most part. The problem with iManager though is that it looks like it’s strictly for images and doesn’t allow for file uploads as well. I’ve chatted with Marco, the guy who developed iManager, and he’s currently working on something that will work for both files and images. However, I’m not sure what the licensing will be for it. Because I really want to have a very tight fit with MODx, I’m almost to the point of just developing a simple, easy to use resource browser on my own using some Ajax code. I really want to have a permissions system in place that would allow users to have their own folders to drop things into and allow for setting permissions on a file/folder level for different users. I have alot of ideas...but the trick is finding a good place to start. More to come on this topic once I’ve knocked out some other pressing things.
