When using IMCE + FCKeditor + fckeditor.module there is a well known issue which stops the IMCE dialogue window from sending the URL of a link to the correct field in the FCKeditor's dialogue window.

You can use the IMCE 'browse server' button within the FCKeditor to select an (inline) image for your content BUT if you want to link that inline image to, say, an original image using the FCKeditor's 'browse server' button from the "Link" tab, then the URL you select is appended to the URL for the inline image, rather than as the href value for the link.

This issue is well documented and there are 2 patches which work well to make IMCE and fckeditor.module work well together.

I'm trying to use WYSIWYG + FCKeditor + IMCE + IMCE WYSIWYG Bridge.
The original problem described above still exists but now the patch doesn't work because fckeditor.module is no longer part of the equation.

Can anyone help me with this?

I'm comning up blank on a solution to allow my users to edit content and add images from the server without using / understanding code and URLs.

I've tried image assist too but I'm getting other kinds of errors which may be attributable to the image or upload modules.

Thanks!

I don't really understand the issue. Providing links to those other two patches you mentioned (so I can take a quick peek at their code) might let me understand.

I've created a new issue for this at the following link
The old IMCE + FCKeditor (now with WYSIWYG + IMCE WYSIWYG Bridge) 'img src' versus 'href' problem

I'm probably not explaining the problem very well so it's probably best to have a look at
IMCE integration issue (url@txtUrl/txtLnkUrl)

the 2 patches I mentioned originally are included in the comment referenced above.

I just tried to go the WYSIWYG route again and have yet again been halted by this problem.

If I want to select an image for inline display in FCKeditor using the "Image Info" tab of the "Image Properties" Dialogue box.
That works fine.

If I want to link to an image in FCKeditor using the "Link Info" tab of the "Link" Dialogue box.
That works fine.

Using those 2 separate buttons / dialogue boxes can solve the desire to link a thumbnail to its enlargement / original.

But if you want to allow users to place a thumbnail inline and link to its enlargement using the "Image Info" and "Link" tabs of the "Image Properties" dialogue then there is the problem where the URL for the link is left blank while the URL for the image, the inline thumbnail, is replaced with the URL for the link (the enlargement). . .
