Hey guys,

I'm using the DataObjectManager for a project I'm working on, and I'm making use of the editor it provides for popups. Everything works great, and I love the extra functionality, but I'm finding the image handling in that editor to be a pain.

The clients I have are not very savvy when it comes to the web, so they need to have this work as painless as possible. What I need is, when they click on the image link, a panel listing the contents of Files & Images to appear, so they merely need to point and click.

Has anyone achieved this, or is the code that handles this somewhat of a landmine? If so, what about swapping out the editor altogether for something that could be manipulated to this end?

Thanks,
Lee

If you use Uploadify for your image uploader, you get a "choose existing" tab that will let you browse for files in the file tree. My clients really like that..

Ahh, yeah, you're going to have a hard time with that. I would either move everything up to the Page level and use the standard wysiwyg, or allow one or multiple images to be a field of the datobject and build it into the template.

In my experience, burdening a wysiwyg editor like that just leads to bad things. The client ultimately ends up trashing the site because they just start sticking things all over the place and pasting in garbage form Microsoft Word.

Maybe that's just me..
