      It’s very much possible to do that. I’d have to rewrite the RTE plugins to look for a manager session but it’s certainly do-able. Now, regarding anything else outside of that, it’s definitely something we can’t easily remedy due to the way the resource browser is implemented. Without a check for an authenticated user you run the risk of allowing for script injection in the resource browser. The fixes we did for it keep that from happening but without a full overhaul of the scripts themselves. Not only that but there isn’t any separation between manager users and web users when it comes to having separate resource directories. We just really need to wipe out the current resource browser and replace it with something better. I just think that spending too much time on the current scripts is a waste of time.

        It would be a very appreciated short-term solution while we wait for a new and better resource browser. I don’t know how all you guys do, but I (as I said earlier) downgrades the editor in all new MODx installations to TinyMCE 2.0.0.8, which seem to work. Ugly I know, but I really need the resource broswer in the front-end, even if it’s a security risk.

                  So, what are you all using to upload rich media from the frontend in the meantime?

                      I’ve searched the last two days in the repository and the forum for a way to enable the upload button in Tiny MCE.
                      Someone can give the right way to do that?
