Drupal 7 installation instructions

  1. Download and install the WYSIWYG module
  2. Download and install TinyMCE for the WYSIWYG module (sites/all/libraries/).
  3. Unpack in a temporary directory the MCFileManager/MCImageManager
  4. Copy the MCFileManager/MCImageManager directory into the sites/all/modules directory
  5. Edit the config.php file located in the MCFileManager/MCImageManager directory, change the authenticator to DrupalAuthenticator. (You may also want to edit the default root path)
  6. Load up Drupal, go to the Modules section, scroll down and enable MCFileManager/MCImageManager/wysiwyg modules.
  7. Click on Configuration next to the WYSIWYG module, you should now see the Content Authoring config page, if not, your TinyMCE module is probably not installed correctly.
  8. Select to use TinyMCE for Full HTML and/or Filtered HTML (might not work properly when saving), save.
  9. Click EDIT next to Filtered or Full HTML after you saved the previous settings.
  10. Click on "Buttons and Plugins", select MCFileManager/MCImageManager at the bottom, you might want to config more buttons here, like advlink, advimage etc.
  11. After saving previous page, click on "Add Content" in the shortcuts bar.
  12. You should see the Insert Image/Insert File icons in the TinyMCE toolbar if you have the correct edit mode up.

Drupal 6.x

NOTE: After latest Drupal 7 compatiblity update, this might no longer work, you might need to modify the .info file to allow installation into the 6.x version, also there might be conflicts with the DrupalAuthenticator, rename the "define(DRUPAL_ROOT,..." to DROOT (or whatever) then update chdir(DRUPAL_ROOT); to whatever you renamed it to.

Installation of the MCImageManager is very simple since the 3.1.1 release. This requires you to install the new Drupal wyiswyg module and configure and install TinyMCE using that module. (Check that link for documentation.)

  1. Unpack the imagemanager zip file to <drupal install dir>/sites/all/modules
  2. Edit the <drupal install dir>/sites/all/modules/imagemanager/config.php
  3. Change the authenticator option from SessionAuthenticator to DrupalAuthenticator.
  4. Login to Drupal as an administrator.
  5. Open the Administer -> Site building -> Modules page.
  6. Enable the MCImageManager module.
  7. Open the Administer -> User management -> Permissions page.
  8. Enable the "imagemanager module" for "authenticated user"
  9. Open the Administer -> Site configuration -> Wysiwyg page.
  10. Click "edit" for the "Filtered HTML" item.
  11. Open "Buttons and plugins" select the MCImageManager.
  12. Verify that the installation works by opening the Create content -> Page.
