Send the current element values as parameters to the FileBrowser (link dialog)

[Adrian Suter]

In the link dialog, upon a click on "Browse Server" the current FCKeditor simply calls a uri defined by the configuration value

FCKConfig.LinkBrowserURL = "..." ;

Assume we defined a custom link browser. Of course we could use in our custom link browser the javascript command

opener.GetE("txtUrl").value

to access the current value given in the url textfield of the link dialog. But this is a client side action. Wouldn't it be great to have also a server-side possibility to know the current value?

I propose the following: Add some keys (placeholders) to the LinkBrowserURL which then gets replaced by the current values.

FCKConfig.LinkBrowserURL = "custom.php?url=URL&proto=PROTOCOL" ;

Implementation: It is easy to implement this feature. In the file "editor/dialog/fck_link/fck_link.js" replace

function BrowseServer()
{
	OpenFileBrowser( FCKConfig.LinkBrowserURL, FCKConfig.LinkBrowserWindowWidth, FCKConfig.LinkBrowserWindowHeight ) ;
}

by

function BrowseServer()
{
	var uri = FCKConfig.LinkBrowserURL ;
	uri = uri.replace( /URL/g, encodeURIComponent(GetE("txtUrl").value) ) ;
	uri = uri.replace( /PROTOCOL/g, encodeURIComponent(GetE("cmbLinkProtocol").value) ) ;

	OpenFileBrowser( uri, FCKConfig.LinkBrowserWindowWidth, FCKConfig.LinkBrowserWindowHeight ) ;
}
