Hi,
I’m looking at writing a plugin for fckeditor but am a bit not 100% sure how i can get it to pull info from the modx database for example I have created a toobar button which opens a window in fckeditor but cant seem to get it to get any info from the modx database using commands like $modx->
Any help much appreciated,
The $modx object is only available if you are working through one of the index.php files, or have included document_parser.class.inc.php and set up the object. For independent external scripts, you have to access the database yourself.

In the resource browser, most of the time or so the Resource Browser does not make and show thumbnails. Sometimes however, suddenly, it does make a few and shows them correctly. If it does it makes them not for all pictures in the directory but only for 3 or so.
The picture editting often also tells me it could not find an image, although I started editing by clicking on the edit button below the picture in the first place.
assets/images directories (we have a few) are all on 777.
I’ve not been able to find a pattern why it does or does not yet. Is there anybody who has a clue?

Hi Forum!
I’m new to MODx so it’s a bit of a learning curve. I’m trying to set up users to edit my site via the external web interface. The problem is that I can’t get any toolbar to show up.
I’ve created a user, I think I got the roles and permissions right. Created a login page with [[WebLogin]] on, that seems to work. But there are no toolbars on any page after login.
I have tried Quickedit (changed [*content*] to [*#content] etc) but no luck. It seems that I have FCKedit enabled in the system settings but there is no QuickEdit in the dropdown list of editors to use - maybe that is the way it should be.
Can’t find any way to "enable" FCKEditor toolbars - is there a step-by-step somewhere? Does the [*#content*] work for FCKEditor as well or is there some other command to activate those toolbars?
From the QuickEdit documentation:
>If you still don’t see them then try to login as the admin user.
I can’t log on to the front-end by using the built-in admin account, it says wrong user/password - strange, but maybe the built-in admin can’t logon to the front end.
>Then check the users rights to the QuickEdit module and to any Template Variables on the page.
Haven’t found where to do this - do I need to "enable" each user for the QuickEdit module somewhere? Does that go for FCK as well?
Grateful for any clues...
@carlotto: FCKEditor and TinyMCE are Rich-Text Editors (RTE’s) that are used by the manager and by QuickEdit. QuickEdit is a front-end editing toolbar that only appears if you have the QuickEdit plugin installed and enabled, and if you are logged into a manager session. You cannot access QuickEdit with a web user session.

Thanks Jason!
Appreciate any help in cutting the learning curve short. I’m very impressed with MODx so far.
So - if I get it right then - you say there is there no way for a web user to login (on a normal web page) and edit the content etc? Do I have to let editors into the backend (maybe that isn’t a big issue, haven’t tested that enough yet)?

Thanks!
I’ll work around it, not a problem - and your reply saved me a lot of hours looking in the wrong place!
