File or Image picker for new module

[Lucas]

Hello There,

I'm working on a new module, and would like to integrate a file/image picker in it. Preferably the one from the editor: the 'advimage' plugin. So basicalliy I need a standalone version of this plugin.

Has anyone allready made this for some module?

Thanks.

The CGExtensions module has methods to build a pulldown for files or images

Thanks.

I ended up using the 'simplebrowser' code, and modified the call to the callback function a bit. Works like a charm

You can also simply use KFM File Manager as file picker. Use the following code to implement:

Code: Select all

window.SetUrl=function(url,width,height,caption){
 element_you_want_to_set.value = url;
 if(caption) element_that_uses_caption.value=caption;
}
window.open("<?php echo $gCms->config['root_url'];?>/modules/kfm/kfm/index.php?environment=wysiwyg","kfm","modal,width=800,height=600");

And you're done.

The future version will have a plugin system which will make it really easy to add your own plugin to the file manager.

Maybe this is of use.

Yep this is the same idea. I personally prefer the use of the same layout as the editor. Makes it more recognisable for users.
