I cant get either method to work..

On the first one i get the same problem someone first stated, and on Rad,s version when i enter the line about adding an extra dropdown to the menu, it screws up the layout of the configuration page (no tabs, all options listed on one page) and the save buttons are broekn, so it wont save !!

I'm stuck...

Hopefully (fingers crossed) fixed in 0.6.1 - Ralph, can you confirm this?

As I recall, there are settings in the fckconfig.js file in the FCKeditor root... Look for headings like // Link Browsing, // Link Upload, and // Image Browsing... Make sure the settings have been switched to use PHP instead of the default ASP... I haven't investigated why // Link Upload isn't actually located where the config file points to as yet... I be doing some major testing prior to the 0.6.1 release...

Ralph, I tried this mod, I tried changing the files for the file manager, and creating a symlink, yet when I try to edit a page, using FCKEditor set as my editor, the editor box is blank, and I get the script error

Error: 'FCKConfig.CustomConfigurationsPath.length' is null or not an object
Code: 0

I'm using internet explorer, if that makes any difference.

Thanks for your help.

I will post all of the required files once I get my version working again... I have been doing some testing and managed to render FCKeditor unusable... Most members probably can't utilize symlinks so I will make all of the required code changes within the proper files prior to posting them making it an "Upload-n-Play" process...

got this up and running, as i did xinha. But i encounter the same problem: can't get the style section to work & i'm not able to upload images. The only problem i have with html-area is the non-existing css.

in this case, FCK, it's only possible to have styles asigned through an xml "fck_styles.xml". What's the point of having a css when your editor will use styles defined elsewhere? Is there a way the xml will build it's <style_name>'s dynamicaly, based upon an existing .css, (/assests/site/style.css not the one used by the manager: arrgghh )

Regarding the upload images: Did everything the way ralph described. When i want to insert, and in the pop-up i click browse, none are there. Aside you have the "Resource Type" drop down: This is emty as well. Changed fckconfig "FCKConfig.ImageBrowserURL"

I'm aware of the fact that "etomite-dev-team" is not responible for 3th. party pluggs like this one. But having only one decend, up and running, editor is already big time worth while a new release. You guys are always 'bout sharing & contributing to the community... read the threads: This is sth. everybody wants. I don't mean this in a complaining way, but as a hint, ...to make etomite an even better CMS.

Well, i hope there's someone out there who's able to sort this out, for wich editor i don't realy care, but css is smt. users complain from the start: Great and real easy to use, but it's a pitty i don't have a clue that while i'm editing/creating an article i don't have a clue how it will look. This must sound familiar to a bunch of you

This is not an easy thing. Even if you could associate a stylesheet with a WYWIWYG editor, it would most likely fail with moderately complex stylesheets. This is primarily because the content is presented to you without the structure the template provides. Without that template to wrap around the content, many style declarations simply wouldn't work anyway.

It might be more effective to get content contributors to focus on properly structuring their documents - and let the CSS do it's thing when published. I use an unpublished "staging" folder to put documents in that are tested before going to their real location. This allows me to have them published but unlinked (hard to find). Thus, content editors can see how their properly structured document turned out.

I know that this is something that would be ideal and that many people would benefit from. However, at this point, I think it is safe to say that core enhancements, functionality, and bug fixes are the priority. Re-writing a WYSIWYG will not likely be a priority for some time... unless someone in the community with the skills feels passionately enough about it to do it and contribute it back. From personal experience, I know that Ralph (as the top code monkey) welcomes and considers all ideas and contributions.

I know this has been said before, but we have a lot of newcomers: Etomite is primarily aimed at developers. Will non-developers use it? Yes! Should they? Absolutely. Would it be great to make it so simple that anyone could use it? Of course. Are we aiming for that? Yes. Are we there? Well, no, but we're closer than many other CMS's out there. For a system that is as powerful as it is, it is remarkably user friendly.

We, as a community, will continue to listen to each other and consider other editors. The editor changes in 0.6.1 is a testament to that. But until the perfect one comes along, or is written, or is modified and contributed back, we'll have some limitations to deal with.

I truly undestand, and don't get me wrong, this way i learn stuff myself, trying not to give up and make it work. In the mean time i'll fool around a bit and try out the css thing to work: Who knows...

I am using FCK Editor in another program and had mucho trouble with the image loader until I discovered that it needed an absolute url.

This was my fix for it in that circumstance:

Go to your -- editor/filemanager/browser/default/frmresourcelist.html

Find line 67:

var sLink = '<a href="#' onclick="OpenFile(\'http://www.your_domain.com'   fileUrl   '\');return false;">';

Hope this might help, no promises, have not installed it in Etomite yet.

Regrds,
Ken

I got FCKeditor in my etomite0.6 installation. It shows the bar with the lay-out settings, but the text field doesn't show up (it shows and disappears really fast). I've got this same problem with the HTMLArea (only in I.E., not in FF), so I thought using FCKeditor might solve this problem, but it didn't. Both FF and I.E. refuse to show the text field. Does anyone know how to make this field visable again? (in either FCKeditor, which I prefer, or HTMLArea)
