Responsive File Manager - Can and should it be updated?

[lateral]

Hi guys,

 

I'm trying to sort out an issue when adding image files to a new Blog module that I have purchased relating to the inbuilt "Responsive File Manager" that is part of the TinyMCE editor.

 

When I add an image to the description of a Product, it uses the "relative" method for the URL:

 

../img/cms/CB_Crank_Trigger_instal-001.jpg

 

This works fine and displays the image correctly on the Front Office.

 

When I add the same image to a "blog post" using the same TinyMCE editor and Responsive File Manager, it also uses the relative method:

 

../img/cms/CB_Crank_Trigger_instal-001.jpg

 

but although it displays correctly in the Back office, it does not display on the Front office.

 

Anyway, I was told by the developer that I should be using "absolute" paths as the blog is in a subfolder , ie: /blog/some-post.

 

I couldn't see any way to tell the Responsive file manager to use "absolute" paths so I went to the "http://responsivefilemanager.com/" website and found that there a much newer versions available...my version is Version 9.3.3 and the latest version on their website is Version 9.8.2.....

 

Is it possible, probable or should I should update or just leave it as it is?

 

 

Ps: I have just discovered that it looks like TinyMCE is where I need to change so that it always uses absolute paths. Apparently, I need to change the following:

 

tinymce.init({
        ...
        relative_urls: false
});

 

 

Are there any issues with me doing this????

 

Thanks

Regards

Greg
