TinyMCE on the frontend with MODx 0.9.6.2+

I see with the latest versions of MODx there is a new option in the site ’Configuration’ -> ’Interface & Features’ page.

Web Users?
Which enables the resource browser for the frontend website. This works as expected and allows files to be linked and images to be selected when using TinyMCE embedded in a page on the frontend, which is exactly what I was after. However there is no ’linklist’ available.

Would it make sense to have the ’Web Users?’ option cover this too? If a user has been grated access to select and add files to the file system from the frontend then surely linklist should be available?

I think line 208 in assets/plugins/tinymce3201/tinymce.functions.php would just need changing from:

to

Definitely will look into this and will follow up with you on this very shortly.

I need just the ability to upload images into a blog post from the frontend and found this post. I have upgraded to .9.6.2 but don’t see the options discussed here... any help would be appreciated!

Thanks

You should see an option on the tools tab. Go to ’Configuration’ and then select the ’Interface & Features’ sub-tab. It is the 10th entry down the list.


On a slightly different note: I don’t think the linklist will work on the frontend as it is. The mod I suggested in the first post will allow the linklist to display and be selected, but when saving the system wipes the link.

Forgive me for being a dope, but what is the title of the option I should be looking for? My number 10 option on the page in question is "Resource path:" and the only thing close I see is "Enable Resource Browser:" which is option number 8. I have tried enabling and disabling that one multiple times to no avail. Is there something that i could have missed during the upgrade to 0.9.6.2?

btw: thanks again for you help!

Are you sure your upgrade to 0.9.6.2 ran ok?... it is not available for versions earlier than this.

It seemed to run without error and my version in the manager says so, but it’s certianly sounding sketchy. Thoughts on the best way to figure out if it didn’t? I could certainly try rerunning it... maybe i missed a permission or something prior to the upgrade? What i am unsure of is, if i ftp the install folder back up and re-run, if there are flags set anywhere that would keep the process from executing correctly etc. thoughts?

thanks again!!

You need to upload more than just the install folder when you upgrade. You need to upload all files and folders as many of the upgraded files are contained within the manager and assets folders.

Yes, understood... guess what i meant was that I will ftp up everything again over the top of the last update and try again.

Thanks
