External image uploader for CKEDitor in IPB 3.x.

Extends IP.Board 3.x visual editor by adding additional "upload" tab to "Image" dialogue. Images are being uploaded and inserted into posts as "img" tag with direct link to uploaded image file. No access control, simple limitations. Perfrect solution for uploading inline illustrations.

Check readme.txt for installation instructions.

Not a modificatoin, cause no file edits are needed, but a more functional replacemend for "image" CKEditor's plugin. Can easily be reverted back by uploading original one from distributive.

This doesn't work for 3.2.3? I press upload and browse the image, then click on Send to server and nothing happen?

I agree, not working for 3.2.3.

I do have a 3.3.0 Alpha 1 demo server and it works fine on that.

Anything we need to do to get it working on 3.2.3?

P.S: Nice hook by the way :laugh: All the other upload hooks dont work well with our server theme, but this one does. Nice job!

I'm also running 3.2.3, followed instructions, CHMOD to 777 the folder just in case, and nothing is being uploaded after clicking "send to server". It does take a while, and looks like it finished uploading but nothing in the folder when I check via FTP.

It's a good idea, I think something like this would be a good addition to the inbuilt features of the forum.

Same problem as Freeborne, hope it get look into because this is such a great ideas and features.

Works on one of my borads using 3.2.3, but not the other.

One is in swedish on my own server (don´t work) other in english (works) hosted here by IPS.

Weird...

Addition: I get a 404 error thats kind of hidden within the "popup" itself.

Well it looks like I will have to wait until 3.3.0 comes out

It is a shame this hook is not supported by the developer, it is such a great hook.

Yeah this is what happens on my 3.2.3

Yeah I have done the waiting game with this developer over here

So I expect the same will happen here with this mod - NO SUPPORT AT ALL!

There is so many broken image on my forum. It such a shame I been waiting for this mod all this time and now it does not work. I have send him pm but now he don't respond back anymore.

I have send him pm but now he don't respond back anymore.

This developer needs to be banned if they submit mods and never respond to hooks that do not work.

I am marking this mod as broken.

I just installed this on a test board and it worked fine for me. I'm removing the broken file flag.

What version is your IPBoard? Does this mod depend on the host too?

The issue with this modification is a few things.

First look at your error log for Apache, if you see the following error:

client denied by server configuration: /home/<user>/public_html/uploads/inline/upload.php[/CODE]

Then you have no execute access to the file (upload.php), this may have been caused by several different server security configurations, it also may have happened by the following. If you have been in the security center in the ACP and have clicked "IP.Board PHP/CGI .htaccess Protection" this will add a .htaccess file in the following folders:

[CODE] Written .htaccess to /cache/... Written .htaccess to /public/style_captcha... Written .htaccess to /public/style_css... Written .htaccess to /public/style_emoticons... Written .htaccess to /public/style_extra... Written .htaccess to /public/style_images... Written .htaccess to /hooks... Written .htaccess to /uploads..

After it has written the .htaccess file, it will restrict the "/uploads/inline/upload.php" file from executing.

A) To get this file to execute (and therefore getting this mod to work), delete the .htaccess file from the uploads folder.

I hope this helps the rest of the community.

EDIT: I truly apologize to the developer for the comments I made in this post :logik: - It is in the readme file to check permissions, which is not exactly black and white.

I delete the .htaccess from the upload folder and it still not working for me. Wonder what I'm doing wrong.

Do you have access to your server?

If not I suspect that your host will not allow this php file to execute.

I still have same problem, after trying your suggestion of deleting the .htaccess file (from cache and uploads).

Checked my root .htaccess and nothing in there that should be causing problems either.

I also check php.ini and tried a bare-bones version without any functions disabled.

Looking through the source code after the failed upload, this is what it shows.
An Error Has Occured:
[#10CCS2] We could not find the page you were looking for.

To quote bfarber "Basically it means the page requested could not be found".


This mod DOES work on another hosting server I use (for testing) but it is a basic IPS install, so I'm not sure if it's my hosting configuration or some setting I've changed in IPS, or that this mod only works in particular configurations.

Further investigation, a more detailed error:

http://www.mydomain.com/uploads/inline/upload.php?instance=editor_4f56cf8f3458f (replaced my site URL with mydomain.com obviously)

So, at a guess, I have some server restrictions that doesn't allow random strings in URL, or a mod_rewrite messing things up maybe? I have a very similar setup on my other server though.

P.S: Going into ACP > Security Center and running the PHP/CGI protection, which created the .htacess did indeed stop this mod working on my other server. Deleting just the .htaccess file from uploads fixed it. So my problem (possibly same with Kandice) is not caused by the Security Center generated .htaccess files.

Looking through the source code after the failed upload, this is what it shows.

What does your Apache error log file say? (cPanel > Logs > Error Log)

CPanel > Logs > Error Log:

[Wed Mar 07 16:26:41 2012] [error] [client 203.25.141.5] SoftException in Application.cpp:256: File "/home/censored/public_html/uploads/inline/upload.php" is writeable by group

YAY! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. CHMOD'ed my upload.php file, and then the Uploads folder to 755 instead of 777 and this mod now works!

Glad it now works.

Enjoy!

Same error as Freeborne, but finally got mine to work too. Thanks a lot! For anyone who want get this to work, do the following.

CMod Upload folder, Inline Folder, upload.php all to 755. Before I CMod to 777 and it does not work.

I just found something weird, if you edit the post image upload doesn't work.

I think I've confirmed same issue.

I can edit a post, and change the URL of the uploaded image, but I cannot upload another to replace it, or just upload more images.

So once you save, the Upload tab stops working basically.

I can confirm this issue.

I will look into it when I have some time.
