TYPO3 Core

rtehtmlarea 1.5.5 was part of TYPO3 4.1.4, but you're reporting this bug for TYPO3 4.2?!

Sorry. I mean of course Typo3 4.2 and rtehtmlarea 1.7.4.

Well, its seems to me that TYPO3Browser is deprecated. Especially I needed the JS-Function editor.renderPopup_addLink. This seems to be replaced by plugin.createLink. But I couldn't find any hint in the manual. :(. Issue can be closed. Thanks for your attention.

In TYPO3 4.2, all plugins except ContextMenu were restructured to use the new plugin API. Moreover, TYPO3Browser was replaced by two distinct plugins: TYPO3Image and TYPO3Link.

For documentation of the API, see http://typo3.org/documentation/document-library/extension-manuals/rtehtmlarea_api_manual/1.7.4/view/
However, detailed methods of each plugin are not currently defined as part of the API.

Sorry, for my question - but what is the difference between an extension and a plugin? I coulnd't figure out because you initialized extension in ext_localconf.php. Sadly the plugin TYPO3Browser.js is not defined as extension yet. So I wonder how can I include TYPO3Browser.js if I needed it!?

With TYPO3 4.2, you cannot because typo3browsers.js does not use the new API. It will be deleted in TYPO3 4.3.

An RTE extension is a php class that extends the rtehtmlarea TYPO3 extension. A plugin is a JS class that extends the htmlArea editor.

You should really read the htmlArea RTE API manual.

Sorry again for my misunderstanding. This must be my bad english knowledge, but why do each extension has a brother plugin?

You may think of the plugin as part of the extension.

However, plugins may exist without any extension. So are TYPO3Browsers and ContextMenu. But, TYPO3Browsers is not loaded in TYPO3 4.2.

So it is possible to initialized a plugin without haveing a brother extension? My problem was that I couldn't found that initialization routine. The manual teaches me that TYPO3Browsers.js is loaded. This causes me some headache. :)

I would think that there is an error in the manual. Please tell me where.

Page 21:

disableTYPO3Browsers | boolean | If set, the TYPO3 element browser is disabled in both the image and link dialogues. (Default: 0)

This does not refer to any plugin or to any javascript file. It just says that if the option is set the image and link insertion dialogues will be simplified and will not include any TYPO3 element browser.

I repeat: typo3browsers.js is not used in TYPO3 4.2 and will be deleted in TYPO3 4.3.

I think this should close this discussion as this bugtracker is not a support forum.

I do not understand.

You should look at plugin TYPO3Link which has replaced TYPO3Browsers plugin since TYPO3 4.2.0.
