Still unable to browse resources in either RTE

I’ve mentioned this a few times before, but it is starting to become a showstopper with my project timeline so I have to inquire again. In either editor (CKEditor or TinyMCE), when I try to create a link using the link button, then hit the ’browse’ button to select a resource, I am shown the ’Files’ menu rather than the ’Resources’ menu. The only way to add a link to a resource is to know the id number and type it in with the link syntax ( [[~1]] ). While it would sometimes be useful to browse ’Files’ (to link to an image, for example), most of the time one wants to link to a resource.

Am I the only one having this problem? Is there a plugin setting I should be looking for somewhere?

Nope..

Seems to be how it is for now I can’t even get it working with [[~id]] though...

There is no browse Resources integration at this time. You can drag and drop Resources into both RTE’s to add a link tag, or wait for specific plugins to be developed for one and/or the other that will do this.

I’ve tried to do that - and if I can figure it out, that will be more than sufficient for my needs - but I haven’t been able to get it to work. Is there a certain method or trick to dragging-and-dropping a resource into the RTEs?

I think there may actually be a bug with Firefox that makes it foofy, but it’s working OK in Safari. Shaun will have the details.

My Firefox is also acting foofy (foofy ) with drag-and-drop. Safari works fine on the same pages where FF doesn’t.

Apparently there’s a security issue with drag/drop into iframes (which RTEs use) with Firefox/Chrome browsers. Safari/Webkit, however, work fine.

There is no apparent or available workaround for this (at least that I have found), so drag/drop just simply wont work in those browsers. Sorry. :/

Hate to be annoying about this, but can someone briefly describe the specific process for using drag/drop (in an agreeable browser) to add a link in an RTE?

I have been able to drag a resource into the content-editing-box of the RTE, and have it create a [[~id]] tag (right in the content, not in the href attribute of a link). ... is that what is being talked about here?

Yes.

If you’re wanting it to work in the add link windows - hopefully I or someone else will contribute a plugin for the CKEditor package that integrates that functionality in. It’s not currently available.
