Hi there,

I'm just compiling instructions for my first client, who I have set up as an Editor, as all she wants to do is to add and edit text, and possibly add photos. However, I've just discovered that in Editor mode 'Image Manager' doesn't seem to be available.

Can you tell me please the easiest way for a client who is not at all web-savvy to upload an image so that she has it available to add to a page using the wysiwyg editor?

I'm using 1.10.3 Hyacinth.

Thank you!

Probably she needs the 'modify files' permission (Users & Groups -> Group Permissions -> Editor -> Modify Files).

Furthermore, make sure to set:

Extensions -> Microtiny WYSIWYG editor -> Settings -> Allow images

The Microtiny Editor does not allow uploading from within the page-editor itself. So your user has to upload images first via Image Manager.

It appears that you can optionally install the previously used editor via Module Manager which allows you to upload images from the 'Add Image' dialog in the editor itself.

Perfect!

I did have Allow Images, but had not ticked Modify Files. Now the Editor does have access to Image Manager.

Thanks so much.

Ah, having said that, I now have an error message in the Image Manager page:

"A file permissions error has occurred. Please check the permissions on the script and the directory it is in and try again."

So I'm not quite there yet?

I suppose that has to do with directory permissions on your hosting environment.

CHMOD these directories to 777:

tmp
tmp/templates_c
tmp/cache
uploads
uploads/images
modules

Most of the times I use a FTP-client to set those permissions (FileZilla)

Ah, yes of course! That makes sense.

Thanks very much.
