What is TinyBrowser module?

TinyBrowser module is a Drupal module that integrate TinyBrowser nicely to Drupal. With this module, optional settings of TinyBrowser can be configured easily at the TinyBrowser module's settings page (No need to manually edit configuration file). TinyBrowser module also add some features that are not the part of original TinyBrowser, but necessary when it is used with CMS like Drupal, such as profile support by user roles, quota support for upload directories, multi-site, multi-user environment support, etc. In addition,

Currently, this module works with TinyMCE, FCKeditor and CKEditor. To use these editors, you also need to install and set up editor support module for Drupal (which are either one of TinyTinyMCE module, FCKeditor module, CKEditor module or Wysiwyg module).

TinyBrowser module supports the following configurations.

*NOTE* Currently, only the development snapshot release supports CKEditor.

TinyBrowser module includes the entire source files of TinyBrowser. So you do not have to download TinyBrowser from the original author's site. This is because that we had to modify the original source code of TinyBrowser in order to make it work nicely as a Drupal module. We tried to minimize the changes of the original TinyBrowser source code, but we ended up with many changes. All the source code of TinyBrowser is in the tinybrowser subdirectory and below. All the files under the TinyBrowser module directory are newly created by us. Currently we uses TinyBrowser 1.41.6.

Requirements

Clean URL enabled
$cookie_domain
TinyBrowser module requires the $cookie_domain variable defined in the settings.php of your site. Locate the file settings.php inside of your drupal directory (usually sites/default/settings.php) and set the $cookie_domain variable to the appropriate domain (remember to uncomment that line). If you do not do this, TinyBrowser window will not shown up.
PHP safe_mode OFF
No Javascript aggregation and optimization.
TinyBrowser would work neither Javascript Aggregator module nor Optimize Javascript file setting ON at Administer > Site configuration > Performance setting page.

Usage Limitation

This is not a requirement but TinyBrowser can not be used by anonymous users. This is a security measure since it allows upload/download files and create/delete folders.

Installation

Please see the document page or enclosed README.txt file for the installation details. When you use TinyBrowser with FCKeditor module + FCKeditor, a patch to FCKeditor module is needed. Also using TinyBrowser with CKEditor also requires the patches. You can download the patch from the document page.
