only images showwing in 'links' dialog box

Post by scotch33 »

Hi,

I have a site with a number of files that are downloadable.  We had a crash on the site and I had to rebuild.  Since the rebuild I am having an issue with the files system - in the file manager I can see all files that had been uploaded.  However, when I try to link to them in a page using the links dialog box, the file manager window that comes up if you click 'server' is only showing images, even though there are many other file types there.

Can anyone advise if there are settings I can change or files I can re-upload to reopair this issue and get all files showing in that dialog box again.

Thanks

Versions of CMSMS, tinyMCE, etc. etc. etc. would help...

Are you hiliting a word and hitting "which links button", or is it an image you are trying to link from?...

I have also noticed the same issue in the Havana version of software. Can upload various file types via image manager and file manager but when I try to link to the files from within a page (anything other than jpgs) files are not listed in folders. So customer won't be able to create links in pages to pdfs for downloads for example. I hope this isn't something that has changed officially within the newest release?

Hey scotch,

I had this issue as well.  You can find my solution in this post:

Of course, getting the latest version of TinyMCE ( as suggested by mark) will probably work as well, but I haven't tried that.
