Can someone help me get the FCKeditor extension running?

I have FCKEditor running on my system. It took some messing around and I kept a record of what I did.

Can you post what settings you have made so far so I can have a look?

I copied the folder FCKeditor in de rootfolder of my site. I copied the extension file in the extension folder. I copied the language file in the language folder.

I enabled the extension in the CP. Tried to run without changing the settings. Nothing happened.

Then tried to enter the url’s where he could find the script in the settings panel. Check below.

URL of FCKEditor Script: http://www.mysite.be/FCKeditor/fckconfig.js

FCKEditor Configuration :

var oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor(textAreaName); oFCKeditor.BasePath = ‘http://www.mysite.be/FCKeditor/’ ; oFCKeditor.Config[“CustomConfigurationsPath”]=”http://www.mysite.be/FCKeditor/fckconfig.js”; oFCKeditor.ToolbarSet = ‘eetestToolbar’; oFCKeditor.ReplaceTextarea() ;

OK. I’ve looked up the notes I made and reproduced them here. Some of it may not be quite right or necessary, but these are the hacks I made. The filename is in bold and the location is in italic. As I say they are hacks. I’m no expert.

What I put together was mostly from the .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).

Good luck!

PS for any EE people listening - please develop an integrated wysiwyg editor. I’m sure you seen one that simply plugs into Wordpress. I want to make sites that reasonably competent people can easily input to in a familiar way. Build one that has selectable format options to enable/disable to suit the developer’s need to preserve layout and design. When I recently saw the wordpress editor I thought “I want that one!” Akismet integration would be nice too.

Hi Folks,

Thanks for this. I think my problem precedes the uploading issue. Whenever I click the “Browse Server” button, I get a large window with an error.

The error seems to show that I it is still trying to use the .asp connector, despite that I’ve changed this in the fckconfig.js file. (I’ve attached a snapshot of the error). These are my setttings for choosing the connector, but they don’t seem to work. I still get the asp error when trying to browser the server.

var _FileBrowserLanguage    = 'php' ;    // asp | aspx | cfm | lasso | perl | php | py
var _QuickUploadLanguage    = 'php' ;    // asp | aspx | cfm | lasso | php

I’ve also configured the php connectors, etc. and even tried commenting out the lines you suggested. Can’t seem to get past this “using the wrong connector issue.” this has to be simple.

Any help appreciated.

Sorry to Bump, but I would L-O-V-E to get this working. Anyone with idead I should try?

not sure if you’ve got this resolved, but i find that if I ever change a .js file clearing my cache will greatly help…

in firefox shift+clicking the refresh button will do the trick!

also, in firefox if you go right the js file it will read it so you can BE SURE your changes have been made.(http://www.yourserver.com/fckconfig.js) This maybe overkill, but when trying to trouble shoot a problem its worth the extra 5 seconds!
