Image insertion and editor questions
Hi, I've been searching the forums for answers but can’t find any and my eyes hurt from staring at the screen for so long !!!! So here are some questions, any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
OK, you can insert an image from a web address url if its already hosted online somewhere but what if you want to upload an image from your hard drive straight into the post or can the forum editor access the Joomla media folders for this purpose? So is it possible to enable the image insertion tool in the forum editor to ‘navigate’ to an image and choose it. It feels as though it should be a simple thing to do, am I missing something vital?
My second question concerns the editor again, is it possible to install another editor and use it like the JCE editor, the drop down menu in the back end configuration panel only displays one editor choice (Editor- JooBB!)??
Many thanks in advance .... Andy J

This is a very good idea. I will see if it will be possible to implement it in RC3. If not, next release (RC4) for sure.

We are talking about two kinds of editors. BB-Editors and WYSIWIG. BB-Editors are more secure in my eyes... Anyway, you can expect the possibility to use Joomla editors in Joo!BB (e.g. JCE). This takes some time because I need to restructure the code. But I'm already on this way.

Re: Image insertion and editor questions
Hi Robbie, OK Cool, I think these additional tools would be a great benifit to the JooBB forum and look forward to seeing how you get on with implimenting/intergrating them into the JooBB Forum.
I'm glad these questions raised some good points for you to consider.
yours andy J

Andy,
hope you are not disapointed with me, but I decided to release RC4 ASAP because of an annoying bug. Please have a look at Registered can not edit own post unless edit all - registered.
I just were able to rework the color picker. I'm now about to implement your idea to enable the image insertation tool.
Robbie
