IMCE

Drupal : Attach image to node

Looking for WYSIWYG editor and found that FCKeditor is not working well and also outdated ! CKeditor is the successor, installation does not require WYSIWYG module.

To get you WYSIWYG editor with image attachable feature (well, IMHO attaching image is must have feature!) you need

Setting up IMCE to use with CKEditor, here is steps

  • Go to Home > Administer > Site configuration > IMCE
  • At "Role-profile assignments", assign Role that is allowed to use IMCE profile (e.g. only Authenticated user that is allow to use IMCE)
  • Go to Home > Administer > Site configuration > CKEditor
  • Select CKEditor profile you want to configure
  • At "Basic setup", select "Role" that will be allowed to use this profile
  • At "File browser settings", select "File browser type (Link dialog) = IMCE"
  • Done !

Attaching image is a bit tricky, not friendly at all. You need following steps to upload file from your PC for using in CKEditor

  • Click "image" icon
  • Click "Browser" button, new window wil be opened
  • Click "Upload" link (the link at is middle top of new window)
  • Click "Choose" button, this is to browse for a file in you PC
  • Click "Upload" button, it will say that "Uploading ..." in log window below
  • Hit F5 button to refresh (yes, it does not have auto-refresh)
  • Your image should be in the list in IMCE window, select it and click "Send to ckeditor" link
  • Done ! you are back to CKEditor with you image

Thanks Drupal Community for suggestion.
