Joomla setup

Introduction

Everything below was tried out with Joomla 1.5.4. By default Joomla uses TinyMCE 2.x so the basics are the same as for the TinyMCE_setup.

UPDATE: Newer Joomla use TinyMCE 3.x and the installation is much simpler. Read steps below.

Joomla can also work with FCKeditor, please read Joomla_FCK_setup.

Joomla 1.7 as reported by veldjmaxis, Oct 13, 2011

1. Copy folder "imgmap" to "JOOMLA_FOLDER/media/editors/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/"
2. Open tinymce.php from "JOOMLA_FOLDER/plugins/editors/tinymce/"
3. Find line:

    // advimage $advimage = $this->params->def('advimage', 1); 

    if ($advimage) {

        $plugins	= 'advimage'; $elements	= 'img[class|src|border=0|alt|title|hspace|vspace|width|height|align|onmouseover|onmouseout|name|style]'; 

    } 

1. After that add:

    // imgmap $imgmap = $this->params->def('imgmap', 1); 

    if ($imgmap) {

        $plugins	= 'imgmap'; $elements	= 'img[usemap|class|src|border=0|alt|title|hspace|vspace|width|height|align|onmouseover|onmouseout|name],map[id|name],area[shape|alt|coords|href|target]'; $buttons4	= 'imgmap'; 

}

1. Save file. Now Imgmap will work with tinymce in JOOMLA 1.7

New Joomla (Version 1.5.12 for example)

1. copy files from plugin_tinymce3{x}.zip to {yourjoomlainstance}/plugins/editors/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/imgmap/
2. go to Joomla admin/Plugin manager/Editor - TinyMCE/Advanced Parameters, and enter imgmap in both Custom plugin and Custom button input fields. Make sure functionality parameter is set to extended.
3. Launch up your article editor, and you are ready to use the plugin.

Older Joomla (Version 1.5.4 for example)

1. copy files from plugin_tinymce{x}.zip to {yourjoomlainstance}/plugins/editors/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/imgmap/
2. edit {yourjoomlainstance}/plugins/editors/tinymce.xml, after 'directionality' add lines:

 		<param name="imgmap" type="radio" default="1" label="Imagemap" description="Imagemap">
 			<option value="0">Hide</option>
 			<option value="1">Show</option>
 		</param>

1. edit {yourjoomlainstance}/plugins/editors/tinymce.php, after 'XHTMLxtras' add lines:

		$imgmap			= $this->params->def( 'imgmap', 0 );
		if ( $imgmap ) {
			$plugins[]	= 'imgmap';
			$buttons3[]	= 'imgmap';
			$elements[]	= 'img[usemap|class|src|border=0|alt|title|hspace|vspace|width|height|align|onmouseover|onmouseout|name],map[id|name],area[shape|alt|coords|href|target]';
		}

1. go to Joomla admin/Plugin manager/Editor - TinyMCE 2.0/Advanced Parameters, and make sure Imagemap is set to Show.
2. go to article editor, click on any image, and notice the button highlighted on the toolbar, you are done:)
