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.

You can use the code explained in this support topic to display the attached image file as an image:

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.
