hi,

Installed the FCKeditor in connection with IMCE.
So far so good.

It worked!

Now-rather suddenly users can't upload pictures any more, getting the error message

this file uploader is disabled. Please check the "editor/filemanager/connectors/php/config.php" file

I have the newest version of the FCKeditor, and all installed modules are up to date.

When I look at the file structure, I see directory sites/default/users has owner Apache, and permission is set to 775.
Users that already are in that directory (yes, it worked before) have directories also owner Apache, permission set to 775.

Please help - users (also existing) are not able any more to upload their pictures.

Thanks a loT :-)

Hi! I faces the exactly same error "this file uploader is disabled. Please check the "editor/filemanager/connectors/php/config.php" file

Now it is fixed :-) Here is what I did:-

1) Open the file fckeditor/fckeditor/filemanager/connectors/php/config.php
2) Look for $Config['Enabled'] = false ;
3) Change it to true. i.e. $Config['Enabled'] = true ;
4) Overwrite the old file on server

In the file there is a warning
WARNING: don't just set "$Config['Enabled'] = true ;", you must be sure that only
authenticated users can access this file or use some kind of session checking.

I think making sure that only the authenticate user has access to upload files is sufficient, but I am not sure :-) Anyway it is working fine on my side.

Cheers!

The README.TXT has a lot of useful information that I missed in my hurry to clone a site.

1. To enable file browsing you need to edit the connector configuration file
in your fckeditor module directory, the file should be in:

sites/all/modules/fckeditor/fckeditor/editor/filemanager/connectors/php/config.php
(FCKeditor 2.5+)

or

sites/all/modules/fckeditor/fckeditor/editor/filemanager/browser/default/connectors/php/config.php
and
sites/all/modules/fckeditor/fckeditor/editor/filemanager/upload/php/config.php
(FCKeditor 2.3.x - 2.4.x)

In this file(s) you will need to enable the file browser by adding one
line that includes file with the special authentication function for
Drupal (filemanager.config.php). Add this code:

require_once "../../../../../filemanager.config.php";
(FCKeditor 2.5+)

or

require_once "D:\\xampp\\htdocs\\drupal\\sites\\all\\modules\\fckeditor\\filemanager.config.php"
(FCKeditor 2.3.x - 2.4.x)

straight below this line:

$Config['UserFilesAbsolutePath'] = '' ;

This is more secure than directly changing

$Config['Enabled'] = true ;

Best regards,
Alan
