Jena,

Web development always has a component of frustration.  I’ve had mine.

Did you try following this post?

Also, login_session_auth.php should be left alone.  EE’s authentication does not integrate with that of FileManager.

And make sure that if your LG FileManager settings start with this line:
/tiny_mce/j_scripts/tiny_mce/plugins/

That this is indeed where your copy of TinyMCE is on the server.

Thanks for your help. I’ve tried everything I can think of to try but to no avail. I think I’m giving up. I wish there were and easier way.

Thanks again! Maybe I’ll try it again in the future when I have more time.

OK. Maybe I should try it one more time. Can anybody tell me where to put this:

button_tile_map : 'true',
mode:'textareas',
editor_selector : 'lg_mceEditor',
content_css : '/path-to-your-css-file-from-root/tinymce-base-styles.css',
mode: "textareas",
theme: "advanced",
theme_advanced_toolbar_align : "left",
plugins : "advlink,spellerpages,paste,filemanager,spellchecker",
theme_advanced_buttons1:  "formatselect, removeformat,cleanup, spellerpages,pastetext, separator, bold, italic, bullist, numlist, outdent, indent, separator, cut, copy, paste, separator, link, unlink, image, separator, undo, redo, separator, charmap, code, spellchecker",
theme_advanced_buttons2: "",
theme_advanced_buttons3: "",
theme_advanced_blockformats: "p,h2,h3,h4,pre",
relative_urls: "false", document_base_url: "/",
remove_script_host: "true",
convert_newlines_to_brs: "false",
force_p_newlines: "true",
paste_create_paragraphs : "true",
paste_use_dialog : "true",
cleanup_on_startup: "false",
theme_advanced_toolbar_location : "top",
custom_undo_redo_levels : 10, 
cleanup_on_startup: "false",
extended_valid_elements : "a[name|href|target|title|onclick|class|style],img[src|class|style|width|height|border],td[nowrap]",
paste_use_dialog : "false",
width: "500"

And how to authenticate if I can’t use TinyMCE’s authentication?

Thanks!

See the attached. It’s under Extensions -> LG TinyMCE -> Settings.

You can’t authenticate.  Basically, when someone is logged in to EE and you’ve given them an instance of TinyMCE with FileManager, they have access to the folder on the server you’ve designated in config.php.

Tying EE and FileManager authentication together has been discussed on the forums, but to my knowledge, no one has done it.

I’m trying not to be a pain and I feel really stupid.

ARrgh!

I now get a fatal error when I try to open the filemanager from inside the control panel.

It says"Fatal Error: You do not have access to perform this operation”

Also, the filemanager icon doesn’t show up. Any ideas?

So If I can’t authenticate, how do I get past the screen that asks me for the password?

The default in the auth file is “demo” for username and “” for password. I leave this as is?

I’m still confused about the LG TinyMCE setup.

I understand where to put the settings, but are you telling me to delete ALL the settings and replace them with what is in your post, or just CHANGE the existing settings to match your post.

I would be more than happy to hire somebody to do this for me at this point.

Very frustrated.

Hi,

I’d be happy to go in and look for a few minutes.  If the problem is simple, I’ll just fix it, no charge.  If it’s more involved we can talk first before any work is done.

You’d need to PM me with a URL, login, and pwd.

My site is http://expdesign.net if you want to know more about me.

Cheers,

Ben

Note to future readers of this thread: we got it working. 

IMPORTANT: Part of the problem was that Jena was using TinyMCE 3.0, whereas these instructions are written for 2.0.  Keep this in mind.
