[TYPO3-dam-devel] RDC #15099: Bugfix: "Reference to main window is not set properly" after selecting an uploaded file in RTE link dialogue

[Ulrich Lorenz PHZ Luzern]

Hello everyone!

This is SVN patch request.

Type: bugfix/usability improvement

BT reference: http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=15099 

Branches: trunk/1.1 branch (Dan has to decide)

Problem: 
When calling the link dialogue from RTE and uploading a file, RTE throws
JavaScript-Error "Reference to main window is not set properly" when
clicking a file directly after uploading in the upload tab (click the +
icon). So editors need to go to the media tab, find the uploaded file
there and then click it. This is too time-consuming.

Solution: 
With the patch the upload module checks if it's being called from the
RTE (GET-Parameter mode=rte). If so, the + (Add to list) and "Add all to
list" links are removed from the "Uploaded files" table, but the
filename is linked and thus allows setting a link.
See: http://bugs.typo3.org/file_download.php?file_id=12369&type=bug 
This behavior is consistent with the media tab where you also set a link
by clicking the filename.

Notes:
I will provide another patch (and a new RFC) that limits the upload tab
to one file only if it is called from RTE. There is no sense in
uploading 5 files at a time when you can only link 1 file afterwards.



Best regards,


Lorenz
