(Request) Tutorial reading images directory

[Rverm]

Hi

Any chance you could make a (simple) tutorial on how to read an image directory and make an image clickable instead of uploading them? So an "Insert image" button which just shows all images which are clickable for inserting?

Thanks!

Hi @Rverm are you looking to build the media manager yourself or are you thinking about integrating an external media manager (such as KCFInder). The reason I ask is that @concept-core is currently looking at creating a tutorial to cover KCFinder integration which supports selecting from an existing folder/list of images.

@Rverm Jup that is completely true. If you use php I will be able to help you with what you need.

KCFinder is a filemanager that is able to give back the url that you click on from the image folder. It sounds like it is something you want to use.

@anthonyjb I would prefer building my own media manager, but I've looked at KCFinder and it also looks cool.

@concept-core That's exactly what I'm looking for! Looking forward to it!

@Rverm I Will try to create the tutorial this weekend. There is only one thing I need to know for you specific.

Do you use a framework by any change ? If so which one.

[Rverm]

@concept-core I'm using jQuery, and Code Igniter for the php part. Thanks again!

[wotta]

@Rverm the newer version of codeigniter? Or the old one when hosted by Ellis lab ?

[Rverm]

@concept-core the latest version, 3.0.6 :)
