Installation instructions for Joomla 1.5.8

Installing MCImageManager is pretty easy if you have some basic programming/configuration skills.

Requirements

MCImageManager requires the following to be pre installed on your web server.

  • Apache 1.3+, IIS 4 or other web server capable of running PHP
  • PHP 4.3+ script language used by the MCImageManager.
  • Joomla 1.5.8 Joomla CMS System.

Extracting the archives

On windows you could use WinZip or something similar. And on other operating systems such as Linux you simply extract the archive with the tar command. You can find a example on how to extract the archived file on Linux below.

Extract the contents of the zip/tgz to the <joomla installation dir>/plugins/editors/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins directory. Extract example using a shell:

$ cd <joomla installation dir>/plugins/editors/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins
$ gzip -d MCImageManager_x_x.tar.gz
$ tar xvf MCImageManager_x_x.tar

Setup MCImageManager to integrate with Joomla 1.5.8

Add the JoomlaAuthenticator to the authenticator config option, this will make sure that only logged in Joomla users can access the MCImageManager.

Rename the /imagemanager/plugins/JoomlaAuthenticator/JoomlaAuthenticator_1_5_8.php to /imagemanager/plugins/JoomlaAuthenticator/JoomlaAuthenticator.php.

Add the imagemanager in the <joomla installation dir>/plugins/editors/tinymce.php file as a plugin to the list of TinyMCE plugins. In other words it should look like this:

plugins : "imagemanager,advlink,advimage,$plugins",

Testing the installation

Ones you have finished the installation a "browse" button should appear in the link and image dialogs, this button will popup the imagemanager in a separate window. The next step after installation is probably to configure the MCImageManager for your needs, check the configuration reference for details.
