= rmce_uploadr

Here's a scenario this gem is suitable for.

You have multiple rack/sinatra/rails CMS-like apps where a page editing is done with TinyMCE. 
You want all of them use the same storage / database for image manipulation.

This gem uses Sinatra, ActiveRecord and Paperclip.

== Install

For this gem to work you *have* to put your TinyMCE javascripts in public/javascripts/tiny_mce.

=== 1. Install the gem

* add <tt>config.gem "rmce_uploadr"</tt> to environment.rb and run <tt>sudo rake gems:install</tt>
* add <tt>gem "rmce_uploadr"</tt> to Gemfile if your using Bundler and run <tt>bundle install</tt>

=== 2. Set RMceUploadr::App as a middleware

* for a rails app add the following inside <tt>Rails::Initializer.run</tt> block:
    config.middleware.use "RMceUploadr::App" do |conf|
      # configuration according to ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection
      conf.dbconf = {:adapter => 'sqlite3', 
                     :database => File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), '..', '..', 'shared', 'db.sqlite3')}
    end
* almost the same if you're a rack/sinatra app:
    use ::RMceUploadr::App do |conf|
      # configuration according to ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection
      conf.dbconf = {:adapter => 'sqlite3', 
                     :database => root_path('..', 'shared', 'db.sqlite3')}
    end

=== 3. Add plugin loading to TinyMCE init function, e.g.

 <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
   // Initialize TinyMCE with rmce_uploadr plugin and inlinepopups
   tinyMCE.init({
       plugins: "rmce_uploadr,inlinepopups",
       mode : "textareas",
       theme : "advanced",
       dialog_type: 'modal',
       theme_advanced_buttons1 : "bold,italic,underline,separator,strikethrough,bullist,numlist,undo,redo,link,unlink,image",
       theme_advanced_buttons2 : "",
       theme_advanced_buttons3 : "",
       theme_advanced_toolbar_location : "top",
       theme_advanced_toolbar_align : "left",
       theme_advanced_statusbar_location : "bottom"
   });
 </script>

Notice <tt>plugins: "rmce_uploadr"</tt> and <tt>theme_advanced_buttons1: "image"</tt> (which you probably have already).

=== 4. You're done

Uploaded files will live in <tt>public/uploads/g/images/:id_partition/:style_:filename</tt> so 
you probably want <tt>public/uploads/g/</tt> to be shared accross all your apps.

=== 5. Check out rails and sinatra examples 
<tt>examples/rails</tt> and <tt>examples/sinatra</tt> are setup to work with <tt>examples/shared/db.sqlite3</tt> and 
<tt>examples/shared/uploads</tt> directory.


== Note on Patches/Pull Requests
 
* Fork the project.
* Make your feature addition or bug fix.
* Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a
  future version unintentionally.
* Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history.
  (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
* Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
