3rd party editors - usability

Ive build a utlility application that uses a 3rd party editor called Fckeditor. Its a popular editor, that is implemented in each of the major platforms, java, coldfusion, asp, etc..

I brought it into play originally for another utlitity application that i was working on. Each of the two utilities are about feeding data to a relational db.

Each of the two utilities needs to upload files as part of their jobs. Lots of text, with images needed as well as other upload types. the challenge is that each utility needs to store the uploads in different places. I could, i suppose use different implementations, meaning give each utility its own set of core files (thats about 400 total) - seems a little overkill. What im looking to do is dynamically inform the path where the editor will upload the images to.

Ive dug into the editor a bit and found the upload configuration file that is defining the path where the uploads are going. Now i need to figure out the smartest way to inform the editor where it being used from and pass that variable into the configuration file to dynamically set the userpath.

If this gets too hairy, i can always use plan A, each utility having its own implementation of the fckeditor core files.....but i really dont want to do that.

stay tuned

Im back - im thinking i may try to scale down the size of the fckeditor core files - since alot of them are for implementations that i am not using. Then each Utility could have its own version of the core files. Then, each would have its own

fckeditor.editor.filemanager.upload.cfm.config.cfm

and i could set one where it is now and the other where it needs to be, including the dynamic updating still needed.
Resources path = userfiles/image
assessments path = assessment/assessmentID/

perhaps...i need to continue my heavy lifting around this before moving into a implementation.

Im thinking about creating a utility helper CFC where i could set a session variable or application and use that to inform the assessments *dynamic portion. In the assessments app, im using a framework where i could use a build in plug in point to instantiate the helper object upon application startup. "bootstrapping".
