Question

I’m having a problem with the FCKEditor html editor for ASP.NET in that when trying to insert an image within the editor and then clicking ‘browse server’ in the Image Properties dialog I get an ‘page cannot be found’ error. I want to get it to show all the files in the ‘images’ folder.

The website is set up as follows:-

 \ Root      - \ asp.net standard folders etc...      - \ Images      - \ FCKEditor - contains all the javascript etc..      - Default.aspx - this contains the FCKEditor Control 

I have tried setting the ImageBrowserURL to various settings such as ‘/images’ but this doesn’t seem to return the correct path to the images folder.

Any ideas ?

I think the problem is that ‘ImageBrowserUrl’ doesn’t point to the path where your image files reside, it points to the path where the actual file browser is located – you shouldn’t have to change this setting. Make sure you have set _FileBrowserLanguage and _QuickUploadLanguage in fckconfig.js to ‘aspx’.

To set the path to your image files add the following to your web.config:

  <appSettings>            <add key='FCKeditor:UserFilesPath' value='/images/' />   </appSettings> 

The url is relative to the website root, the default used by fckeditor is /userfiles/.

Hope this helps.
