Conflicts using JCE with PWT Image

Tuesday, 28 November 2017

People sometimes have issues when using PWT Image in the JCE editor. Firstly, most people don't even have any issues, but if you do, the buttons that should trigger the PWT Image uploader (in the Images and Links tab) do not take effect and the JCE uploader is loaded. Luckily, this issue is very easy to overcome. There 2 solutions for this:

1: JCE options

Go to Components >> JCE Editor Pro and click the Options button in the top-right corner. In the General Options, make sure to set JCE File Browser in Image Fields to No:

2: Plugin order:

In the Joomla backend, go to the Extensions >> Plugins section. Then, using the Search Tools, set the plugin-type to system and click the option to order the list of plugins:

If you see that the JCE system plugin is ordered after the PWT Image system plugin, move it up so that PWT Image comes last and you should not have any issue.
