Moxiecode ImageManager config problem (should this post be moved to extensions?)

Unfortunately I have no experience with any of Moxicode’s addons. Since this not a first party offering, however, let me move it to the appropriate sub forum.

Brittany, first suggestion: put the word Moxiecode in the title of this thread so it can be that much more easily found later. The word “config” wouldn’t hurt, either.

Here are the lines I have in place for an EE install that successfully has MD Markitup and Moxiecode image manager working together:

$mcImageManagerConfig['filesystem.path'] = '../../images/';
$mcImageManagerConfig['filesystem.rootpath'] = 'images=../../images';

Ths is assuming that I have a ‘tools’ folder at the root of my site, and that the imagemanager folder is in it, and that the images I want to access are stored in the default EE images folder.

You can also set up multiple location for Image Manager to look. You’d have to check the Image Manager docs for full details, but I think you just use a semicolon (and I think it’s only necessary on the second variable:

$mcImageManagerConfig['filesystem.path'] = '../../images/';
$mcImageManagerConfig['filesystem.rootpath'] = 'images=../../images;otherimages=../../uploads/images2/';

The first one will be the default directory into which you’ll go. The second variable will make a small list at the upper left with different directories that the users can go to.

Yeah, thanks to help on the Moxiecode forum, I realized I was putting in the url, not the file path.

It’s all working correctly now. Thanks for your help (and the tip about multiple upload locations, which will be so helpful)! I am IMPRESSED with Markitup so far.

Hope i am allowed to post a related question about integration of moxiecode imagemanager and md-markitup here:

I sucessfully upgraded ee from 1.6.4 to 1.6.7 and installed md markitup which seems also working without problems. then i installed the moxiecode imagemanager folder in my (MD Markitup) tools-folder with the name “mcinmagemanager”. I also installed the moxiecode authenticator from ryan. Entered the right path-settings in several places and I successfully could open the mc imagemanager if i enter the url “…./tools/mcimagemanager/” then the examples page shows.

I also configured path like shown here, so this seems to work also.

My main-problem is: If i click the picture-icon on md-markitup, the imagemanager doesn’t pop up, there’s not even a sign that md-markitup tries to load mc-imagemanager, so it seems that there is no valid connection between md-markitup and mc imagemanager.

Could someone lend me a hand with this? TIA

Bernd

Huh, got it!

To answer my own question: One has to enable the moxie-button in the css of the regarding markitup-set, i thought that the normal “image”-button automatically loads moxi if installed (Ryan: maybe you should make this clear in the documentation (i know you are working on tutorials for the integration of moxiecode-imagemanager)).

I think the combination of md-markitup together with mc-file- and/or imagemanager and a bunch of custom css is unbeatable!

The only problem i have now is that mc-imagemanager wants authentication (which he shouldn’t because i have installed and enabled Moxiecode Authenticator), hmmm, still digging…

Bernd

Now, got this worked out too!

I had to use the “BaseAuthenticator” instead of “SessionAuthenticator” in the config.php of mc_imagemanager. No i got the imagemanager popping up withourt asking for password etc.

Could someone confirm that this is the right way to do it?

Really cool, now on to further customizing md-markitup!

Bernd: I was just coming here to answer your questions and it looks like you got them worked out. Sounds like you cleared the hurdles you needed to for this to work, and I agree:

Ryan,

thanks for the reply, Yes, worked absolutely beutiful now. I’m struggling a bit with the css (switching on and of various settings and making my own).

Is there any chance to add this input-manager to the wiki-module? I can choose to have textile but not md-markitp, it looks like the wiki-module only looks after plugins, not extensions, so md-markitup would be overlooked. Eventually it must be easy to have the md-markitup-fieldtype for the wiki too, maybe its just a fake-plugin needed which fetches md-markitup for the textarea, loading jquery in the header of the wiki and some custom code in the wiki-theme?

any chance? Oops, i see i’m a bit off-topic here, so i post this to the md-markitup-thread too…

Thanks for this great plugin!

Bernd
