Inserting uploaded images and documents into EE posts through TinyMCE editor

We’ve recently set up certain EE posting forms to use the TinyMCE WYSIWYG editor. However, one then encounters problems accessing and posting images and documents through this editor.

The page

http://expressionengine.com/wiki/TinyMCE_and_ExpressionEngine_Integrated_File_Upload_Management/

discusses a method of using additional templates and a reference to external_image_list_url to allow the TinyMCE editor to see a list of previously uploaded files in EE. However, I’ve been having significant difficulties in making this method work - there’s little detail in how things fit together (the calls to nested queries, the set up of the new templates) and the templates I’ve created don’t render the PHP within them to produce the list of images as a javascript array. Has anybody made this work correctly? I’m working locally on a WAMP server on my desktop machine at the moment - not sure if that makes any difference?

I’ve also seen the article http://www.wil-linssen.com/tinymce-wysiwyg-editor-with-tinybrowser-file-browser-in-expression-engine/ about using Tiny Browser, and am tempted to try that out, in preference to the above solution: would people recommend that as a solution?

Thanks,

Anthony.
