FCKEditor Module

I’ve used both FCKEditor and TinyMCE and my preference (after using FCK) is Tiny as the code output is a bit better and its a little cleaner interface. Additionally, the plugins for Tiny (image manager) are nice too.

I should add that I had FCK configured to appear in all text areas but with one of the EE extensions for Tiny I could specify which text areas were to be wizywig.

Are there any plugins to make it easier for laymens to publish images easily? I am looking at using EE for other projects, but I can see FTP images being a problem for them.

If you install TinyMCE wizywig manager you can upload files to it via their own filemanager plugin (but at an additional cost - http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/plugins.php).

However, if you want a stand-alone EE plugin (not integrated through the wizywig text editor) for an image upload custom field that uses filemanager or imagemanager capabilities, that can be found here: http://leevigraham.com/cms-customisation/expressionengine

Also, as far as I know images are uploaded into the tinymce manager directory and not into an images directory of your choice. I imagine that this could be configured to upload images wherever one wanted but I couldn’t find that out. This was problematic for me as I already have sites built with pre-specified image directories.

There is also Mark Huote’s “File” extension http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/38997/ too that is handy and I’ve used that on a site as well as a few other extensions. It would be nice if EE just made a custom field type that was for file uploads.

I posted a few minutes ago in the Feature Request, please bump it to perhaps get some momentum on it.

I will give those a look, thanks very much.

Well it seems TinyMCE is showing up in IE6 no problem, but under FireFox 2.0.11 it will not display, even after clearing the cache. I believe this is the same problem I was having with FCKEditor, any idea what would cause it to not work in FireFox? I tried clearing the cache in FireFox as well.

I was having an issue where some paths were set with www in the TinyMCE config and I was trying to access the site without the www. Or something similar. Just a thought.

It works fine in IE6.

Any javascript errors?

No, I don’t see any, it just loads without it.

Any other ideas, right now I cannot get TinyMCE (or FCKEditor) to show up under Firefox for the body textareas. It works perfectly under IE6.0, but not FireFox. But when clicking through the post window, I notice Firefox DOES display TinyMCE on the “TrackBack” textarea.

I also get tinymce appearing in the trackback area. In Safari 3.0.4 on Mac, editing a post with tinymce enabled gives the following response -

The following trackback pings were not accepted: - Invalid Connection

but the entry still gets edited okay.

I’m also not getting tinymce to display in Firefox 2.0.0.11.

I’ve got tinymce working in Mac Firefox 2.0.0.11 with the following setting -

mode : “exact”, elements: “field_id_2”, theme: “advanced”

This also removes any formatting buttons from the trackback area.

Had the same problem and I had to doubleclick the textarea for FCKEditor to come up.
