FCKeditor Extension

Actually that’s the problem. With v1.1.9 a single click enables the EE Formatting fields. Of course, if you have turned it off under the weblog management, it will not find it (hence it will give a js error of setNameField not found). The extension that i created isn’t smart enough…I mean i haven’t made it smart enough…to figure out if the formatting fields have been disabled or not. Sorry about the confusion…

Ok, I’ve turned on the formatting buttons, and I am double-clicking in the field and still nothing. I really feel like I’m missing something, because I am showing those JavaScript errors that “FCKeditor is not defined” on line 1934. Suggestions?

can you post (or im me) the settings that you have for the extension? I would say that now that is the problem.

I realize that you have posted them above, but can you give them to me as you have it? Thanks

[Update]: Silly question, but you are pointing to the correct fckeditor location in the settings right? IE: URL of the FCKEditor Script: http://[your site URL]/FCKeditor/fckeditor.js

I was - I realized that there’s an extra character in the URL and that was causing the issue. Thanks!

I’ve installed this extension and the FCKeditor scripts but when I goto the publish page, nothing happens.I’ve view the page source and the FCKeditor javascript and references are all there, but neither clicking or double clicking on any of the text areas does anything. I’ve triple-checked the extensiosn settings and everything seems to me in order. Is there supposed to be a link or something that opens the editor? Does this extension work with the latest version of EE?

This is what I have in my settings for the extension:

var oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor(textAreaName); //Configuration goes here oFCKeditor.BasePath = ‘http://www.mysite.com/system/fckeditor/’; oFCKeditor.ReplaceTextarea() ;

I looked at the documentation for FCK, but nothing jumps out at me. From what I can tell, there is no configuration needed for FCK, and all the sample scripts work as is.

Please let me know what I’m doing wrong, I really want to get one of these editors to work.

The naming convention (caps for FCK) with the name FCKeditor can cause problems on unix servers if the capitols are not taken into account in your paths. That tripped me up on one site myself initially.

I notice that in the path to the directory you use fckeditor but I think that it is usually capitalised (FCKeditor) by default. You may want to check that.

What Rob Q says is a good point, you also may want to check out and see if there are any Javascript errors. Another problem someone had was that the files for FCKeditor did not upload properly.

I’ve been having the same issue as everyone else, but I’ve made sure that everything is installed properly and my _sample folder worked fine?

URL of FCKEditor Script

http://www.re-volvemedia.com/FCKeditor/fckeditor.js

FCKEditor Configuration

var oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor(textAreaName);

//Configuration goes here
oFCKeditor.BasePath = 'http://www.re-volvemedia.com/FCKeditor/';
oFCKeditor.ReplaceTextarea();

When I go to the publish page nothing happens?

When I view the source code it looks like the JavaScript files are commented out? But I can not figure out which files to edit.

Seth, here’s my settings that I use:

URL of FCKEditor Script

http://www.websitename.com/FCKeditor/fckeditor.js

FCKEditor Configuration

var oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor(textAreaName);
oFCKeditor.BasePath = '/FCKeditor/' ;
oFCKeditor.ReplaceTextarea() ;

It’s possible Seth that the basepath needs to be a relative url - looks like you have given an absolute url for it.

Rob Q is correct. The BasePath should be a relative url (relative to your ee system folder that is…) I had oFCKeditor.BasePath = ‘../fckeditor/’ ; but use whichever one works 😊

I still had no luck and I tried these three:

var oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor(textAreaName);
oFCKeditor.BasePath = '/FCKeditor/' ;
oFCKeditor.ReplaceTextarea() ;

var oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor(textAreaName);
oFCKeditor.BasePath = '../FCKeditor/' ;
oFCKeditor.ReplaceTextarea() ;

var oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor(textAreaName);
oFCKeditor.BasePath = '../../FCKeditor/' ;
oFCKeditor.ReplaceTextarea() ;

I uploaded the FCKEditor files outside of the System folder? Should it be contained inside?

Edit:

Well I moved my FCKeditor folder inside my system folder and changed the paths to represent and still no luck?

var oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor(textAreaName);
oFCKeditor.BasePath = '/system/FCKeditor/' ;
oFCKeditor.ReplaceTextarea() ;

I am really confused.

Oops, sorry to make it sound confusing.
It should not matter where you put the FCKeditor files.

I guess what you should do now is to turn on javascript error messages (or check out the javascript error messages) on your web browser. If the files are not found, then the error should point to that. We could probably figure out what the problem is from the javascript message…

After fiddling around with pathes like you did, I set the relative path of the .js-file in the URL-field. And it worked! (EE 1.6.1 & FCKeditor Extension 1.1.9)

Great extension.

Any suggestions on how to get this functionality (double-click textarea to convert to FCKeditor) to work on the ‘message’ area of the communicate page?

Thanks /\/\ Meir
