Thanks I figured out what it was....  I installed the code in the root directory of my site not in the plugins directory which is where it should have gone (even though the installation doc doesn't say as much - unless I missed it).

I am also puzzled as to where to place all of the ibroswer files.  I kept the zipped (ibrowser installation) folder files as they were and placed them into the TinyMCE plugins directory.  This was actually the first ibrowser directory in the plugins folder, so (following the instructions) I copied 'tinyMCE.editor_plugin.js' from the 'ibrowser/interface' directory and pasted it into the 'plugins' directory.  Then made a copy of it there and change the copied file's name to 'editor_plugin.js'.

So in the tinyMCE plugin directory is a folder called 'ibrowser'.  Inside that folder is the files 'editor_plugin.js' and 'tinyMCE.editor_plugin.js' as well as all of the original ibrowser files.  Is this correct?  ... because it is not working.

Yes, but the ibrowser comes with all of the inerface files already in it.  So there is no copying them to anywhere. They are already there.  That is what does not make sense to me.

ok...finally figured it out:

tinyMCE.baseURL is not getting set properly, so it doesn't pick up common.js, with a hardcoded url it works!

PS: this is a wordpress 2.0 + ibrowser env.

I am having problems trying to install ibraser too.

Anyone knows where I am suppose to copy the following code:

------

   adding plugin to tinyMCE:

    tinyMCE.init({
        ...
        plugins : "ibrowser",
        theme_advanced_buttons3_add : "ibrowser",
   
    });

------

guys, I also have problems tuning iBrowser in.

That's a part of my init:

                theme : "advanced",
        plugins : "ibrowser",
        theme_advanced_buttons3_add : "ibrowser",

I have the right permissions..


I copied the editor_plugin files (tried all possible combinations of versions and names..), but the button in TinyMCE JUST WON'T F***IN SHOW! Would someone who got lucky starting iBrowser please tell me his version of tinyMCE and of iBrowser, because i think it's a matter of incompatible versions. Or even (if it's not too much, of course) send an archive file of his tiny_mce directory with everything working

This TinyMCE is so cool, but it's a pain in the aaa until you configure it properly. Something like Slackware, but smaller;)

Hi Everybody!

This error with ib undefined looks a little bit more complex, and probably it's not the matter of installation at all.
The problem comes from (like in most of the cases) the differences between browsers. The code of iBrowser is just not written well enough to be cross browser compatible.

After proceeding with normal installation steps, it works fine usually. With IE 6, IE7 and Firefox 2.x
However it does not work with Safari and Firefox 3. Probably because they are more andvanced browsers, and they already moved to some newer javascript specification.

From the solutions posted here, the "var ib = null" hack make ibrowser to lunch under Firefox 3. But I'm not sure it doesn't destroy compatibility for IE and Firefox 2. Could anyone test it? (I don't have firefox 2 and IE - since I have an old mac- installed)
But Safari can't be cheated so easily: Immediately when it arrives to the line: "ib.isMSIE  = tinymce.isIE;" generates the error "Null value".

It looks like, that the whole problem comes from, that "vital" parts of the script are placed out from editor_plugin.js to that common.js, which is not a good idea. Although the script is getting loaded (I tested it by placing an Alert('Hello'); in it), the variables are not being set in every browser...

I tried every solution posted here, and also some others, but any of them worked for both IE, firefox 2-3, and Safari.
So maybe if the author of Ibrowser is reading this forum, it would be very kind of him, if he would update the script a little bit..
but any help, from anybody else is appreciated..

Thanks!

Hi there

I also have a problem with the installation. I followed the Instruction, copied the editor plugin file, inserted the code in the TinyMCE init but still there is no button for the ibrowser. Anyone has an idea?  Im browsing with firefox and want to run ibrowser at a tinymce on twiki.

Thanks so far

Has anyone been able to get the ibrowser plugin to work in Safari? I can get the plugin to work in Firefox, but not in Safari. 
Thanks

in ibrowser.php, replace the two lines that say:

resizeDialogToContent();

with:

try { resizeDialogToContent(); } catch(e) {}

alternately, you can remove this function, and it will solve popup window placement issues, as well.

I get an error "ib is undefined" when I click on the ibrowser option.

Hi all,

I was having the same issue with TinyMCE 3.0.8 (and Ibrowser 1.3.8).
Here is a workaround for this undefined error. It worked for me, by putting

Code:

var ib = null;

at the beginning of the file editor_plugin.js .
After that, iBrowser shows up, and there is no more javascript error.

WORKED FOR ME!!! THANK YOU man

it's me again.....

in FF3 , after a little work around, it got ibroweser popup open. But problem is now, that i cannot insert the select picture to the textarea...( only in FF, in IE it works )

my JS skills are quit bad, but what i did to get the window open was this:

i think that there can be a problem, that the ib - object from from common.js (line 23) is not included the right way. What i did is that i replaced the
the line tinymce.ScriptLoader.load(url + '/interface/common.js'); ( in editor_plugins.js ) with the whole line of code, from
the file common.js , and hoped that there will be no error when including the script.

(function() {
    tinymce.create('tinymce.plugins.IBrowserPlugin', {
        init : function(ed, url) {

    
// tinymce.ScriptLoader.load(url + '/interface/common.js');
// below code form : common.js    
    function iBrowser() {    

    }
    var ib = new iBrowser;
    //-------------------------------------------------------------------------
    // open iBrowser
    function iBrowser_open() {            
        ib.oEditor.contentWindow.focus();
// continue with code from common.js
// code from editor_plugin.js continues
            ed.addCommand('mceIBrowser', function() {
                var e = ed.selection.getNode();
                // Internal image object like a flash placeholder
                if (ed.dom.getAttrib(e, 'class').indexOf('mceItem') != -1)
                    return;

now i got to finish work, maybe take a look tomorrow over this....

the changed file is here: http://www.feschtlesconnection.de/ibrow … _plugin.js

but i think this could not be the solution......
