Resource Browser Not Inputting Correct Path

I am having a problem with the resource browser (in TinyMCE) where it is not respecting the rb_base_url or rb_base_dir paths in system settings. No matter what values I put in these settings, nothing seems to have any impact on the TinyMCE browser. I am having this same problem locally and on production.

Local: WAMP 2.0 / W7 / All Browsers 2.1.0 Traditional /
Production: Bluehost / Linux Server / all browsers 2.1.0 Traditional

I had the same problem with 2.08pl - I was hoping it would be fixed with 2.1.0.

I’ve manually emptied my cache numerous times and have tried all different kinds of variations on settings but nothing seems to have any impact.

See screencast here.

The resourcebrowser works fine when using it with a static resource - although I still can’t figure out how to get the static-resource-browser to insert an opening slash (i.e. /assets instead of assets) - I hate using base href in my html markup.

Anyone have any suggestions? Am I missing a setting somewhere or is this a bug?

From the official docs:

rb_base_dir

This setting is deprecated in MODx Revolution. Please use filemanager_path instead.

You should be using the filemanager_* settings.

I deleted my rb_* settings (set to empty string) and tried numerous options to try and get the resource browser to display the right path using filemanager_* settings but nothing seems to work. If my understanding is correct the relevant settings are: filemanager_path and filemanager_url (both _relative options are set to "Yes").

I have filemanager_path set to /assets/media (also tried /assets/media/) and that works fine for defining the start point for RB and File manager. However, the filemanager_url seems to have no effect on the TinyMCE RB (as mentioned above, RB works fine for Static Resources). Instead of inputting the path /assets/media/images/someimage.jpg it will only input images/someimage.jpg into the path field.

Any other suggestions? Is this working for everyone else (with file path set to relative path /somedir/somedir)?

Here are a couple of things to try:

{base_url}assets/media/images/

http://yoursite.com/assets/media/images/

I tried inputting both of these into filemanager_url but it seems like the TinyMCE Resource Browser is completely ignoring this field. I also tried toggling filemanager_url_relative, but it seems to ignore this also. Perhaps I’ll try a clean installation of ModX and see if that works.

Try:

filemanager_path: assets/media/images/
filemanager_path_relative: Yes
filemanager_url: assets/media/images/
filemanager_url_relative: Yes

Also ensure your base_path is correct in your core/config/config.inc.php file.

splittingred - still no luck. Here’s a link to an updated screencast showing my latest attempt. Perhaps I missed something?

Questions:

1) Are you using the latest TinyMCE?
2) Is your Path Options set to "docrelative"?

I just did a test with 2.1 and TinyMCE using your specific scenario, and it worked as expected. I’m not sure what to tell you.

Just curious if the files have the right permissions and ownership. In other words is Windows blocking access?

Given that the Resource Browser works fine for Static Resources, I don’t think think this is a permissions issue.
