[Yanel-dev] tinyMCE link and image lookup problem

[simon]

hi all

i found a solution for the below mentioned problems which could be 
implemented right now. instead of using parameter matcher we also could 
add a matcher foir an special extension. e.g. .tinymce-edit.html. i 
tried this for the svg-edit resource-type and i works very fine so far. 
have a look at the demo http://demo.yanel-contribution.3k3.org

there needs to be done a minor change in the tinyMCE resource-type. 
removing this special extension from the path to get the actual edit 
path. removing passing the edit path via request parameter.
then the lookup resource needs to be improved to handle a 
target-back2Realm request parameter.

if you are interested i could provide patches.

cheers
simon
