I’m sure you can answer my question, I have not found a similar question by now.

I used my Website with FCKeditor before and told my users to use one Directory for Media and Files  (/assets/media/).
FCKeditors dialoge had let me choose the Directory (Dropdown Field upper left corner) with Images / Media / Files and Flash I believe.

TinyMCE’s MCpuck does not allow any other than ’Files’ in the dropdown (when using the link-button).
OK, lets see what I tried:

Option 1: setting  type = ’media’;  in /var/www/assets/plugins/tinymce303/tinymce.functions.php in the switch-thing:
switch (type) {
                        case "image":
                                type = 'images';
                                break;
                        case "media":
                                break;
                        case "flash":
                                break;
                        case "file":
                          type = 'files';
                                break;
                        default:
                                return false;
                }


RESULT: MCpuck shows empty fields for all types (even images) -> probably an error somewhere (?)

Option 2:   remove (and backup) the files-folder (/var/www/assets/files/)  and make a symbolic Link to media called files via 
ln - s media/ files
 

RESULT: Working sometimes.
I figured out, when not working, doing a  apache2ctl graceful and a restart of Firefox makes it working.

But what can be the reason why? What can be the reason that it sometimes works and sometimes not?
A linux symblic Link is - i thought so - always working like the original folder (?)

The file permissions (or better the folder permissions) are set correctly, all of them (root:www-data, 664)
The webserver is a Debian maschine.

Thanks for your replies.
