The file manager can insert multiple files. You will how ever get these files as an javascript object with path, url and so forth. So you need to handle the output and insert them to specific form elements your self but it's easy if you have basic JS skills. The imagemanager can only insert one image at the time.

It's kind of poorly documented. But check the last example on this page and it's source. One of the data properties contains all the selected files. You can use console.dir(data); to display it's contents if you use Firebug with Firefox. Or just ask me if you get stuck on it.

Figured it, needed to use .browse, not .open.

If anyone else needs sample code (untested, but enought to get you started):

<script type="text/javascript">

    function customInsert(data) {
         console.dir(data); // used in firebug - very useful
         jQuery.each(data.files, function(){ // I used jquery, mpdify for your own needs
                        alert(this.url);           
         });
    }

</script>

And the link to open:

<a href='javascript:mcFileManager.browse({oninsert:customInsert});'>[BROWSE[</a>

Hi Spocke,

I have both the image and file managers, and have integrated them both as standalone modules and as part of the TinyMCE text editor. My problem occurs when the user inserts an image, which is launched with an oninsert: callback function. I want the user to be able to switch to file manager to take advantage of the multiple insert option, but when they do the callback function is "forgotten" so the dialog doesn't actually complete the insert process. If the user switches back to image manager then the insert callback does get triggered. Is there any way to pass the oninsert callback from one view to the other?

Thanks in advance!
Mike
