Hi,

is there a G2Image plugin planned for JCE 1.5.0? At the moment the plugin installation fails.

Thanks and best regards
Dirk

Sorry for the delay in replying. Life got in the way of G2Image work for a while. I'm back to some development, trying to get G2Image upgraded to work with TinyMCE 3.0 first, and then to wrap up G2Image 3.1 and get it out the door.

JCE 1.5 uses TinyMCE 3.0.4 as its basis. TinyMCE totally changed their API from version 2.x to 3.0. I'm just wrapping up the work on making the API update for G2Image in general, and then will update g2image.xml for the JCE registration. Watch for G2Image version 3.0.3 to be released sometime next week.

If you'd like to sign up for the G2Image release announcements, you can do so at http://g2image.steffensenfamily.com/lists/ I'm the only person that can send anything to that list, and I only use it for version release announcements, so the traffic on it is very sparse and never spam.

Thanks,
Kirk

G2Image version 3.0.3 is posted on the G2Image Download Page. It updates the TinyMCE interface to work with TinyMCE version 3.0 and JCE 1.5. It is not backwards compatible with TinyMCE version 2.x and JCE 1.0/1.1.

If you are using G2Image versions 3.0, 3.0.1, or 3.0.2 with no problems, you do not need to upgrade to version 3.0.3.

I'm having troubles getting G2Image 3.0.3 to work with TinyMCE in Joomla 1.5.3
This post indicates that it should work.
Can you have a look here:

EDIT: Also, I notice in my plugin manager for Joomla 1.5.3 that it says the version is:
Editor - TinyMCE 2.0

Is that my problem? Do I need to somehow update TinyMCE or try an older version of G2Image?

Thanks,
Hammers

Hammers,

Sorry for any confusion. I need to update the Joomla documentation to clarify all of this.

You need to use G2Image 3.0.2.

The reason is that Joomla's installed TinyMCE uses version 2.0.something, which is not compatible with G2Image 3.0.3 due to significant changes in the TinyMCE API from version 2.0.x to version 3.0. The JCE that works with Joomla 1.5.x has been upgraded to use TinyMCE version 3.0 for its core, so that's why you need to use G2Image version 3.0.3 for JCE, but version 3.0.2 for the installed TinyMCE.

Hope that clears it up. (And I hope that Joomla switches its installed TinyMCE to version 3.0.x soon...)
