The above thread has a workaround for the path information problem in FCKeditor.

Very nice, i can upload and make dirs now.

Problem is that images do not work because it puts in it wrong directory's , and searching for even weirder directorys

ill see if i can fix it with .htaccess

I have tried both fixes mentioned here but when I use the FCKeditor I can upload and browse directories but when accept the image, the path does not include the whole url. It only shows the /UserFiles/Image/someimage.jpg instead of the entire URL. Any clues? I have updated from rc1 to rc2.

I had a very difficult time trying to fix the fckeditor with luck. I lost all images when I went to edit an item with fckeditor, and had to retype everything over again. I tried every recommendation and nothing worked for me. The way I got it to work was extremely easy, too easy. I just reinstalled the admin/categories.php file from the original oscmax file download. Do not try to replace this file with one that you use locally to upload to the server. It must be the virgin file. Download oscmax again if you have to and just over write this file.

I hope this helps at least some of the people who also did not have much luck resolving fckeditor issues.

FCK editor was one of my main issues with OscMax
after going through all here, Ive edited my connectors.php
lines 25 to 40 to look like this below. All functions now use correct catalog images path instead of root. Still get image upload error bar in admin
but it works fine. just took some testing to get the correct paths

Be sure to change the '/home/myaccount/public_html/ on the next to last line appropriately.

// Get the "UserFiles" path.
$GLOBALS["UserFilesPath"] = '/UserFiles/' ;

if ( isset( $Config['UserFilesPath'] ) )
	$GLOBALS["UserFilesPath"] = $Config['UserFilesPath'] ;
/*else if ( isset( $_GET['ServerPath'] ) )
	$GLOBALS["UserFilesPath"] = $_GET['ServerPath'] ;*/	
else
	$GLOBALS["UserFilesPath"] = '/catalog/images/UserFiles/' ;

if ( ! ereg( '/$', $GLOBALS["UserFilesPath"] ) )
	$GLOBALS["UserFilesPath"] .= '/catalog/images/UserFiles/' ;

// Map the "UserFiles" path to a local directory.
$GLOBALS["UserFilesDirectory"] = '/home/myaccount/public_html/' . $GLOBALS["UserFilesPath"] ;
//$GLOBALS["UserFilesDirectory"] = GetRootPath() . $GLOBALS["UserFilesPath"] ;

Hope this helps someone else and maybe someone can figure out the warning error. Thanks everyone for your input here.
Also,
Ive been with AABox for a couple years now and I must say we are extremely pleased and 100% satisfied with Michael and the "crew?" at AABox.I run several osc installs with ease, the servers are great.
I highly recomend them for OSC or any type hosting.

Thanks

Thank you, HeadScratcher! Your solution was what finally worked for me!

For anybody else reading, I had to remove the "/catalog" component of the paths, as my installation was in the root directory. FWIW.
