Hi,
I would like to provide a simple way for my forum users to add images in their posts. For most of them, hosting an image to get a link to put in the post is something difficult. So, I would like to customize the tinyMCE Editor to provide a simple tool for them.
I have installed Advanced Editor Tools (previously TinyMCE Advanced) plugin to my wordpress, and use image plugin to display a simple user interface to include images in forum posts. However, the user needs to host the image before using it.
Reading tinyMCE documentation, it seems that we can add a file picker (file picker) and set a path to host the files (upload path). Both of these customization require the addition of parameters to the tinymce.init function.
I was able to locate it in the core files of wpforo (in wpf-assets/js/frontend.js), but adding something to the js file is not working (and it's not a good practice, I know) . So I would like to know the "good" way to add parameters to the tinymce.init function.
Thanks for your time.

For advanced attachment features you should checkout wpForo Advanced Attachment addon:

It requires custom coding, you should do it yourself or find a developer to do it for you.
Thanks @Alvina for you answer.
I am aware of the wpforo advanced attachment addon. It's of course a good solution to my "problem", but unfortunately my little community can't afford it. That's why I was searching for a homemade workaround.
I'm not a professional developer, and can't hire one, but I might find a way to do it myself.

In this case, you can use the first solution I mentioned in the post above.

I will try this, thank you.
