Full link instead of short cut link

Full link instead of short cut link

I was wondering if there is a way to have the editor show the full path to the file once it is uploaded to the server. Example: I upload a image of myself and when I insert it is creates the code to the image /elements/posts/image.jpeg

I was wondering if there is a way to make it insert the full link like: image.jpeg

If I could have it do this for internal links to files on the server that would be great too.

If you could let em know if this is possible that would be great. Also, please give me a path if it is possible. Thanks for any help.

no, this is not possible to do automatically, you would need to manually edit the link that is created to add the full URL.

Ok, is that something that can be submitted to help with future products/releases? It would help if you are putting together a newsletter or something.

I will add this feature request. It is more likely we would add it to universal email than to irite since it would only make sense for an emailed newsletter as you mention.

i set this up once for a newsletter app i built
this is from memory so forgive me if I forget anything
the folder i had setup for uploads was named uploadfiles and it was in my FCKeditor folder.
go to
FCKeditor->editor->filemanager->connectors->php->config.php
go all the way down to

global $Config ;

$Config['Enabled'] = true ;

i edited these to lines below to point at my FCKeditor/uploadfiles folder
((so if your folder is somewhere else you will need to edit this path))

$Config['UserFilesPath'] = 'http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].'/FCKeditor/uploadfiles/' ;

$Config['UserFilesAbsolutePath'] = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/FCKeditor/uploadfiles/' ;

the bit before adds the path tells fck to add the full path to the images when they are placed in the editor
worked like a charm for me

now i don't remember if i edited anything else...i dont think i did ...but if there was anything else it would have been at the very bottom of that same config script that i showed above..
i will just paste here what i have in mine and you can compare yours against it...
hope that helps


$Config['FileTypesPath']['File'] = $Config['UserFilesPath'] . 'file/' ;
$Config['FileTypesAbsolutePath']['File']= ($Config['UserFilesAbsolutePath'] == '') ? '' : $Config['UserFilesAbsolutePath'].'file/' ;
$Config['QuickUploadPath']['File'] = $Config['UserFilesPath'] ;
$Config['QuickUploadAbsolutePath']['File']= $Config['UserFilesAbsolutePath'] ;

$Config['AllowedExtensions']['Image'] = array('bmp','gif','jpeg','jpg','png') ;
$Config['DeniedExtensions']['Image'] = array() ;
$Config['FileTypesPath']['Image'] = $Config['UserFilesPath'] . 'image/' ;
$Config['FileTypesAbsolutePath']['Image']= ($Config['UserFilesAbsolutePath'] == '') ? '' : $Config['UserFilesAbsolutePath'].'image/' ;
$Config['QuickUploadPath']['Image'] = $Config['UserFilesPath'] ;
$Config['QuickUploadAbsolutePath']['Image']= $Config['UserFilesAbsolutePath'] ;

$Config['AllowedExtensions']['Flash'] = array('swf','flv') ;
$Config['DeniedExtensions']['Flash'] = array() ;
$Config['FileTypesPath']['Flash'] = $Config['UserFilesPath'] . 'flash/' ;
$Config['FileTypesAbsolutePath']['Flash']= ($Config['UserFilesAbsolutePath'] == '') ? '' : $Config['UserFilesAbsolutePath'].'flash/' ;
$Config['QuickUploadPath']['Flash'] = $Config['UserFilesPath'] ;
$Config['QuickUploadAbsolutePath']['Flash']= $Config['UserFilesAbsolutePath'] ;

$Config['AllowedExtensions']['Media'] = array('aiff', 'asf', 'avi', 'bmp', 'fla', 'flv', 'gif', 'jpeg', 'jpg', 'mid', 'mov', 'mp3', 'mp4', 'mpc', 'mpeg', 'mpg', 'png', 'qt', 'ram', 'rm', 'rmi', 'rmvb', 'swf', 'tif', 'tiff', 'wav', 'wma', 'wmv') ;

i guess i better point this out
the reason i have

.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].

in there instead of hard coding the address and "pre" path is because i built this as an app...meaning...for the masses and i wanted that to dynamically pick up the full paths so other people didn't have to manually change that file

and i have personally installed this on at least 20 sites...no problems that I know of
so in my newsletter...all the images would have the correct path of
www(dot)mysite(dot)com/FCKeditor/uploadfiles/picture1.jpg
and they displayed just dandy

Thanks for that fix gruant2000381341.

Just changing the first two lines you mention does it:

$Config['UserFilesPath'] = 'http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].'/FCKeditor/uploadfiles/' ;

$Config['UserFilesAbsolutePath'] = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/FCKeditor/uploadfiles/' ;

The lines below it don't need to change but you also need to make sure that your remote root is defined correctly, as nothing in the line above those two (around line 27):

$WA_EditorRemoteRoot = '';
