Problem in FCKEditor: upload image is not possible

[elias.nogueira]

In the Testlink 1.9 beta 4 there are an error in FCKEditor: when we try to upload an image, the forward message appears: This connector is disabled. Please check the "editor/filemanager/connectors/php/config.php" file

After frustrated attempt to report this as a bug in Testlink (http://mantis.testlink.org/view.php?id=3477) I found the solution...
This appears because the connector wasn't enabled in Testlink FCKEditor distribution.
Follow these steps:

Go to testlink/third_party/fckeditor/editor/filemanager/connectors/php and edit config.php file

Find $Config['Enabled'] = false; and alter to true

Find $Config['UserFilesPath'] = '/userfiles/' ; and alter to 'testlink/upload_area'

Please Testlink administrators: many users can not insert images in theirs tests because this error. This should be changed to work without problems, 'cause this version of FCKEditor is part of Testlink distribution

PS: the directory should be writable access

I've already give an asnwer on mantis, and what user describe as frustrating is just a clear answer: we are not responsible for each option that can be enabled on FCKeditor or TinyMCE.
Also we are not specialist on FCKeditor config, we offer this to users with a minimun config, and we do not suggest on our documentation that image upload has to be used.
After this clarification, we are open to improve default FCKeditor config distributed with TL, with help of users, as this user has done.
We prefer a positive approach, and this include users helping us with this simple things, while we are struggling with other more critic issues or new feature.
If image upload on web editor does not work, always there is the workaroung of adding attachments to test case

Disabling a feature by default is not a bug but a design decision IMHO

Find $Config['Enabled'] = false; and alter to true

This is a bad idea.
Doing that will enable the upload feature for everyone, regardless if he is logged in or not. See Bug #3469
