HTMLArea Image Manager Install Help

Hello,

Have anyone successfully install HTMLArea Image Manager (http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=318) before? I tried and follow all the steps including editing the config file. But after I upload all the files, my HTMLArea is gone, no tools load up anymore, became a plain textarea.

What have I done wrong? Anyone have any success install experience? Please advice, thank you.

Regards,
Lesz

Re: HTMLArea Image Manager Install Help

Check all the file permissions and if you activate the HTML editor. Sometimes you have the dropdown selectioin as "Plain Text" and that's why the editor doesn't come up on your input pages.

Re: HTMLArea Image Manager Install Help

Hi,

I'm using Firefox and when I try the Image Manager, the pop up window's height is not enuff to show the button (see attached screenshot). Do you have any idea to change the height to fix this issue? Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Lesz

Re: HTMLArea Image Manager Install Help

Hi lesliez, that happens to me as well (even with pop images). Maybe there is a way to make it higher but I can't go and check it now. I always do the drag like you.

Re: HTMLArea Image Manager Install Help

Hello,

I am using 1.3.9g

I have installed the packages as instructed and edited

editors/htmlarea/plugins/ImageManager/config.inc.php

I have checked store configuration and ensured editor default is set to html_area.

When I go to add product, I do not see any button apart from 'browse' for image selection which opens the windows application.

Please can you advise where I may have gone awry?

Many thanks

Bob

Re: HTMLArea Image Manager Install Help

Hi, i've installed the image manager but when i click the image button it always opens a window with the message:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /editors/htmlarea/plugins/ImageManager/manager.php on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Config file was edited with the path of image folders.

I dont know what to do, can anyone help me?

Re: HTMLArea Image Manager Install Help

It sounds like one of these happened:
-you don't have permissions set correctly
-you didn't configured correctly the path in the config (even you said you configured, recheck, sometimes we found we did something wrong or we left something without setting)

Re: HTMLArea Image Manager Install Help

Thaks for your answer!.

I've modified path so many times that i've lost count. Tried absolute and relative paths, different options, but with the same result. Permissions are granted to 755 in all folders from the root (i know it's not safe, but i'm just testing).

But now i think i've found an alternative. Using PGRFileManager and installing it outside the editors folder, at the same level it worked!. So, i'm confused and don't know what to do. I suppose it's a problem with the permissions, but i simply can't put all folders to 777, it'll be ridiculous.

Re: HTMLArea Image Manager Install Help

No, they are not supposed to be 777 (any of them).

Line 18

$IMConfig['base_dir'] = '/home/your_username/public_html/images/';

Line 28

$IMConfig['base_url'] = 'http://www.domain.com/images';

If your cart is not on root, you will need to add the directory accordingly.

If you want, send me details of access and I will take a look to it.

Re: HTMLArea Image Manager Install Help

Thanks for the help, but I've finally installed CKEditor with PGRFile Manager. It's more accesible and my customer likes it. Thanks for the help ideasgirl :smile:.

Re: HTMLArea Image Manager Install Help

Thanks for that reference, I will try it.

HTMLArea is good and have served well, but it's old and if you want "prettyness" that's not the editor.

Re: HTMLArea Image Manager Install Help

I am really stuck on trying to get a image upload plugin to work with either HTMLArea Image Manager or CKEditor with PGRFileManager. I constantly get "You don't have permission to access " messages in both. I'm pretty sure the permissions are correct ( got a programmer to check them) but still no luck.

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /editors/ckeditor/plugins/pgrfilemanager/PGRFileManager.php on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Ideasgirl, did you try CKeditor with the PGRFileManager plugin?

Chewrafa, what did you need to change to get the PGRFileManageer working outside the editors folder?

ive been working on this all day. i'd pull my hair out but i don't have any to spare!

Re: HTMLArea Image Manager Install Help

Can anyone help to get an ckeditor / htmlarea image upload working? I have checked all the permissions and the path and it all looks right. Is there anything else i should check?

Re: HTMLArea Image Manager Install Help

Hi, my attached photo showed the pop up window with many strange codes. It also mentioned invalid base directory. As I use the local computer to test, should I set as follows:
Line 18

$IMConfig['base_dir'] = 'C:/shop/images/';

Line28

$IMConfig['base_url'] = 'http://localhost/images';

Thank you.

No, sorry I haven't. I've been very busy.

If you haven't solve this issue, send me details through PM to take a look to it.

Re: HTMLArea Image Manager Install Help

Hi, I'm having some installation issues as well. I followed the instalation directions to a tee and no go. My rich text editor is blank and no image button is present. PHP safe mode is off. and the path to ImageMagick is /usr/bin/.

Here is my config file.

$IMConfig['base_url'] = 'http://www.MYSTORE.com/store/images';

$IMConfig['safe_mode'] = false;

define('IMAGE_CLASS', 'ImageMagick');

define('IMAGE_TRANSFORM_LIB_PATH', '/usr/bin/');

I did not mess with the optional settings.

All of my folders are chmod to 755 and all of the files are chmod to 644. Of course leaving the image directories chmod 777.

If I can't get this to work is it fairly easy to remove? I did not delete or overwrite any core files did I?

I did rename my htaccess to bak and my htmlarea bak respectively.
Thanks
