News and Images

[halm]

Funny, I've been using TinyMCE for adding pictures to posts. Works quite well, too!

Hello, I have installed your patch to have Images in my News but i have this message :
Fatal error: Call to a member function GetFriendlyName() on a non-object in C:\Program Files\wamp\www\cmsmadesimple\admin\moduleinterface.php on line 120
I use 1.1.2 CSM MADE SIMPLE version
Thanks for your help

I used your patch to add images to news articles and it worked quite well!!  But i  made some improvements to let it look only in the images directory because the dropdown was very large because it contains all files from my uploads directory if you want to get only the files from your image directory change the following lines in the patched files

action.article.php line 165:
old
$image_input .= $this->directoryToSelect($gCms->config['uploads_path'], true, $gCms->config['uploads_path'], $image);
change
$image_input .= $this->directoryToSelect($gCms->config['image_uploads_path'], true, $gCms->config['image_uploads_path'], $image);

action.editarticle.php line 200
old
$image_input .= $this->directoryToSelect($gCms->config['uploads_path'], true, $gCms->config['uploads_path'], $image);
if (FALSE == empty($image))
{
$image_preview = "\n".'
'.$this->lang('current_image').':
config['root_url'].'/'.$image.'" alt="" />';
change
$image_input .= $this->directoryToSelect($gCms->config['image_uploads_path'], true, $gCms->config['image_uploads_path'], $image);
if (FALSE == empty($image))
{
$image_preview = "\n".'
'.$this->lang('current_image').':
config['image_uploads_url'].'/../'.$image.'" alt="" />';

Maybe this is usefull for someone...

I would love to see this patch for the latest CMSMS release.

Actually, why isn't this default and included as standard? All other CMS systems I've worked with have a summary image witch is not in the summary text. Besides this, CMSMS is the best and easiest CMS out there!

Does this patch and subsequent tweak for the Images folder work for News 2.6 on CMSMS 1.2?

I have that version and it doesn't work for me. The whole news module doesn't load up after files are modified.

The News 2.6.1 doesn't require this patch it supports image fields natively

I'm still unclear about how to do this. Basically when posting a news article I'd like to be able to choose a small image that would be shown next to the summary.  I had achieved this by using the patch with previous versions of News...
