In the zip file, there are 2 php files. The one called image-browser-plugin.php goes in the plugins directory. The image-browser.php file goes in the wp-admin directory.
After I activated the plugin and went to edit a post, I saw the Image Browser button in the quicktag lists. However, it didn’t work. I editted the plugin file using the plugin editor and changed the quicktag variable at the top to false as instructed. I saved the file.
Then when I went to edit a Post, the “Insert Image” button was not in the quicktags list, but in the upper righthand corner of the screen aa a link. When I clicked on it, it worked.
I’m sorry. I have to admit to some ignorance here. I’m not even sure how to properly get the two files into their respective folders. I’m used to working with Macs and barely understand words like “directory.”
When you say that the files go into the directories, how do you get them there? Do you use the Upload feature in the Dashboard? Is there another way? Sorry again that I am a moron. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Stakota: I guess you never installed it. Did you download it successfully? Did you unzip or unpack it it? Not sure what the correct Mac terminology is. In any case, once you have the 2 files I mentioned above, you have to get them to your server into the appropriate directory or folder. The upload option only uploads image files. Do you have ftp?
I have FTP on my Mac at home. It’s a program called Transmit. Works just like all other FTP programs. Should I use that? Is there a way to upload it using a browser as well?
And thanks for clarifying the upload option.
I don’t believe there is any way to upload via a browser. To get any WP plugin installed, you will need to know how to ftp to your host and put the files into the appropriate folders. So, you should use Transmit when you get home. If you need any other help, you can email me or IM me using AIM or MSN.
Thanks, I might just do that. Is jwurster your AIM name?
Stakota, some more info: a directory is the same thing as a folder. A subdirectory is just a directory inside another directory, or a folder insider another folder.
When you connect with your FTP program, you should be able to navigate the folders (directories) on your website just like you do the folders on your own computer. Just imagine your website as an extension of your own computer, with folders, files, and folders inside of folders.
Ah, yes. That is an excellent analogy. Thank you both so much. You’ve been a great help.
Nice hacks! is compatible with WordPress 2.0.2 ?
