JCK Editor and Image Manager plugin

Joe Miller / November 14, 2011 / No comments

Just spent ages fiddling around with image manager trying to get it to work. I got various problems; thumbnails not showing, unable to upload files, couldn’t edit images blah blah blah.

Finally realised that my .htaccess was interfering with it. You need to allow full access to the folder plugins/editors/jckeditor/plugins/ImageManager/ for it to work. Seems a bit insecure, but there you go!

JCK Editor and the Media Embed plugin

Joe Miller / November 14, 2011 / 2 comments

Just spent all day trying to solve the mystery of why the Media Embed editor button which comes shipped with the JCK Editor works fine in an article, but not when I’m using the same editor for an event. BTW, this is nothing to do with HTML filtering in Joomla; the code never even gets entered into the page!

Long story short.. it turns out that this version doesn’t cope with having two instances of a JCK editor on the same page. One is fine, two is overload.

I found the author of the plugin has corrected this and uploaded a revised version to Github. I just replaced the code in /plugins/editors/jckeditor/plugins/MediaEmbed/plugin.js with the new code from Github, and hey presto, it works!

On to the next website bug…
