Dynamics 365 Rich Text To Upload Images - dynamics-crm

I am trying to find a way to get my rich text editor in Dynamics 365 to work so i can upload images.
I currently use CKEDITOR full install, which sadly does not support uploading images.There is only an external plugin for this.
I want to install TinyMCE via CDN, can anyone give me some steps for it , i would be really thankful.
I am using Dynamics 365 Online
Thanks

Thank you for the question. I learned something today. I gonna assume you are already using the text editor inside an iframe.
This is an old article I found describing how you can implement it: https://archive.codeplex.com/?p=xrmtinymce

Cannot edit SiteMap in Dynamics CRM 365

The user account I am using for a Dynamics CRM application contains roles for "System Admin" and "System Customizer". But when I try to edit the SiteMap via Settings->Customizations->Customize the System->Client Extensions and selecting SiteMap, I don't see the edit option. Even "My Apps" under Application is not displaying. Please help me point out what Role/Permission is missing.
I am beginner, so any help in this will be very useful.
The version I am using is
Microsoft Dynamics® CRM Online 2016 Update
(8.1.0.581) (DB 8.1.0.578)
Thanks
In-built sitemap editor is avaiable since version 8.2, so you will have to upgrade your organization first, to have this option. For now you still have to use some external tools like SiteMap Editor from XrmToolbox or simply edit XML manually.
To edit XML manually simply go to customizaitons -> solutions. Create a new solution and under "Client extensions" add "SiteMap". Now export the solution, unzip it and inside "customizations.xml" you will have your sitemap which you can edit. But be careful - editing XML by hand may lead to crashing whole CRM. I would not recommend that on Online - if anything goes wrong, you will not be able to open you CRM and the only way of restoring it would be through Microsoft Support. Simply use the SiteMapEditor from XrmToolbox, it's much better approach.

Google Sites - Using Forms

I am building a Google Sites page with a simple form in which you can upload attachments. How would I go about having users fill out a form and attach a .jpeg that would automatically add the new jpeg file to the home page?
Thank you!
There is no way you can attach a .jpeg file to a google form, i am on similar project.
BUT! You can make a special form created by HTML and JavaScript, where you can add the file submit button. It took me days before i got it but to help you i show you where i started:
Google Forms file upload complete example
It is an asked question about similar topic.
http://www.labnol.org/internet/receive-files-in-google-drive/19697/
This is the page, where i finaly understood what is going on.
Just by the way. You will have to do a lot more scripting than that. This are only ideas where to start. I am working now on the uploading to the google site.
If you have anymore problems, please contact me. I can show you the source codes i am working on right now.
Have a nice day and good luck with sripting ;)

whick one is better fkeditor or ckeditor?

i am running through a problem to choose either fkeditor or ckeditor which one is better than the other in my project. and how can i get the tutorial regarding customization of any one of these editor in php.
Can you name some websites where i could get the help thanks.
CKEditor is formerly known as FCKEditor (the creator was unaware that FCKEditor didn't sound very... professional) - so you'll want CKEditor.
The CKEditor website has a wealth of information - check out the User Guide, Tutorials and How Tos. Also, when you have downloaded the CKEditor file, you'll find some example code in ckeditor/_samples/php which should help.

Asp.Net MVC 3 Free Text Editor with File Upload

I spent all day yesterday looking for a text editor for my Asp.Net MVC 3 application without any joy. What I am looking for is a text editor that I will use to allow a user to add a news story. Therefore, it would be nice if when using the editor the user, as well obviously adding text, could embed an image by hitting an image icon and browsing to their local drive. And also to highlight text, ie 'Further Info', and be able to link to a document which they can also upload.
I know you might think reading this that there are loads of tutorials etc on the Web that already explain that, but after a full day of researching yesterday I have not been able to find any. Either the documentation is for asp.net Web Forms, or PHP etc, but I can find hardly any info on how to implement this for MVC.
I know that the likes of CKEditor and TINYMCE are availble, but I can find no information on how to implement these to my requirements stated above.
If anyone knows of any tutorials or even any alternatives that I could use it would be very much appreciated.
This might be what you are looking for. A solution for tinymce: http://www.xdevsoftware.com/blog/post/TinyMCE-Image-Upload-Plugin-for-ASPNET.aspx

Embed Powerpoint viewer on a web page (PHP)

I am building a PHP application where the user upload Powerpoint files. I want the other users to view it online instead of downloading. (Using a third party apps like google docs might be a little cumbersome for the users) Is it possible to write a powerpoint viewer code in PHP?
You could automate the process of using google docs with php.
Google provides a ppt viewer that can be embed into webpages using the following code
<iframe src="http://docs.google.com/gview?url=http://www.domainname.come/presentation.ppt&embedded=true" style="width:550px; height:450px;" frameborder="0"></iframe>
Now im assuming php handles the uploads your users make, thus it would be easy to find the url to the specific ppt file. You could store this url either in a variable or a database, fetch it when needed and place it in the code above.
I hope I have been able to explain the logic im trying to apply, do let me know if you need more specifications.
I suspect it would be much easier to reduce the powerpoint slides to .PNG files, and build a simple PHP script to cycle through the images.
You want to re-write Powerpoint in PHP? I'm gonna say... very difficult at best. There are, however, tools out there that make your life easier. Also, there's a "Save as web page" option in Powerpoint, so maybe you could have your uploaders save the powerpoint as a web page, and upload that output, which I would imagine would be pretty easy for you to subsequently put up on the web.
Alternatively, if you're feeling more ambitious, you could read up on the Google docs APIs, and possibly create a portal to upload to Google docs for the contributors, and view Google docs for your visitors. Your PHP frontend could leverage the power of Google docs, but eliminate the cumbersomeness (I'm kind of surprised that's a real word).
"Is it possible to write a powerpoint viewer code in PHP?"
Yes. Unfortunately, if you are asking this question, you probably won't be able to do it yourself.
If you want to try it anyways, here's a good place to start:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc313106(office.12).aspx
Or you can look for a library that does that. They are probably out there, just Google it.
EDIT: Found one here:
http://phppowerpoint.codeplex.com/
Powerpoint files can be embedded on a webpage using the API provided by Microsoft.
