Feincms MediaFile in RichTextContent

Question

Is there a standard solution to insert a feincms MediaFile into a RichTextContent form element (ckeditor or tinyMCE) ? I haven't been able to find any in the documentation... Now users need to copy paste an url in the medialib then move over to page and paste...

You'll have to create your own implementation for this. Overwriting dismissRelatedLookupPopup is a bit hackish, but Django seems to lack support for a better solution.

UPDATE: This ticket describes the popup issue.

In your static folder where 'ckeditor' lives, create a plugin, e.g.

/app/
    /static/
        /app/
            /js/
                /ckeditor/
                    /plugins/
                        /feincms/
                            /images/
                                mediaFile.png
                            plugin.js

plugin.js

/**
 * Basic sample plugin inserting a feincms mediaFile into the CKEditor editing area.
 */

// Register the plugin with the editor.
// http://docs.cksource.com/ckeditor_api/symbols/CKEDITOR.plugins.html
CKEDITOR.plugins.add( 'feincms',
{
    // The plugin initialization logic goes inside this method.
    // http://docs.cksource.com/ckeditor_api/symbols/CKEDITOR.pluginDefinition.html#init
    init: function(editor)
    {
        // Define an editor command that inserts a feincms. 
        // http://docs.cksource.com/ckeditor_api/symbols/CKEDITOR.editor.html#addCommand
        editor.addCommand( 'insertMediaFile',
            {
                // Define a function that will be fired when the command is executed.
                // http://docs.cksource.com/ckeditor_api/symbols/CKEDITOR.commandDefinition.html#exec
                exec : function(editor)
                {
                    // Define your callback function
                    function insertMediaFile(imageUrl) {
                        // Insert the imageUrl into the document. Style represents some standard props.
                        // http://docs.cksource.com/ckeditor_api/symbols/CKEDITOR.editor.html#insertHtml
                        editor.insertHtml('<img src="/media/' + imageUrl + '" style="float:left;margin-right:10px;margin-bottom:10px;width:200px;" />');
                    }

                    var imageUrl;
                    window.dismissRelatedLookupPopup = function (win, chosenId) {
                        imageUrl = $(win.document.body).find('#_refkey_' + chosenId).val();
                        insertMediaFile(imageUrl);
                        var name = windowname_to_id(win.name);
                        var elem = document.getElementById(name);
                        if (elem) {
                            if (elem.className.indexOf('vManyToManyRawIdAdminField') != -1 && elem.value) {
                                elem.value += ',' + chosenId;
                            } else {
                                document.getElementById(name).value = chosenId;
                            }
                        }
                        win.close();
                    };

                    var win = window.open('/admin/medialibrary/mediafile/?pop=1', 'id_image', 'height=500,width=800,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes');
                    win.focus();
                }
            });
        // Create a toolbar button that executes the plugin command. 
        // http://docs.cksource.com/ckeditor_api/symbols/CKEDITOR.ui.html#addButton
        editor.ui.addButton( 'feincms',
        {
            // Toolbar button tooltip.
            label: 'Insert MediaFile',
            // Reference to the plugin command name.
            command: 'insertMediaFile',
            // Button's icon file path.
            icon: this.path + 'images/mediaFile.png'
        } );
    }
} );

Make sure to add the plugin to the ckeditor init script, e.g.

{ name: 'insert', items : [ 'feincms','HorizontalRule','SpecialChar' ] },

Not that I know of. If you always (or sometimes) need a MediaFile associated with a RichTextContent, write your own content type:

from feincms.module.medialibrary.fields import MediaFileForeignKey
from feincms.content.richtext.models import RichTextContent


class RichTextAndMFContent(RichTextContent):
    mf = MediaFileForeignKey(MediaFile)

    class Meta:
        abstract = True

    def render(self, **kwargs):
        ...
