@Anibal  the embeded option is allowing to upload images...

Thank you @sharon. But if my students must publish, for example, their desktop captures or their own photos, they can't embed them because those images aren't in Internet.

In Blogger, Wordpress, etc. we can upload to blogs images instantly.

Thanks again!!

K..you activate the embeded plugin (but the students want to upload the file to your site uing file plugin)

But files in Elgg have another function. I think that images blogs should not be in personal files, they produce a lot of noise. Images of blogs belong only to blogs.

then you want to create a plugin like file. and remove the river from it

Sorry, @sharon, but I can't understand well, my English is too poor :P

I think the tinymce or another editor should have an insert image button for uploading the file from it interface.

Thanks!

The image/filemanager extension for tinymce is available in the tinymce official page @ http://www.tinymce.com/enterprise/mcimagemanager.php

Or there are many non official opensource plugins there for allowing image upload in tinymce. Just google "image uploader for tinymce"

Thank you very much!

Now, the question is...

will I be able to install any of that without breaking anything? ;)

Yes, If you follow the instructions they provide :)
