FCK_Editor not working?

Post by Nik2004 »

I just upgraded to 1.3.0, having upgraded from 1.1RC4 to 1.2.9.

When I go to article edit mode, the article shows up in a text box with html tags, but there is no option to edit in wysiwyg mode, and the usual edit button bars are nowhere. I checked in conf.inc.php and the setting is FCK_Editor (2).

What may be wrong?

Go to "Profil" and enable the Editor :-)

FCK_Editor enabled

OK, that did the trick. Thanks. I wouldn't imagine there is such a setting in the profile.

What is the suggested "scheme" to select among: phpwcms_basic, phpwcms_default, basic and default?

Ok - FCK Editor definitely not working.

When working in IE7, I can get through to content part, but have only an empty box appearing with a small 'x' - similar to when an image is missing from the directory.
When working in FF3, I can get through to content part, but have only the option of working in html. Not my strong point! I can manage some html, but to do the whole thing in html is way beyond me.

And by the way, I am running Vista.

So, I really need my FCK editor back, and am not sure how to make that happen. Questions:
1. Are there settings I need to change in IE7 and FF3 to get the respective problems fixed?
2. How do I get my FCK editor back? Our site is still on an older version of phpWCMS as our administrator hasn't had time to update. Therefore, the option to select the editor is not included in the profile. So - what do I do?
3. I'd like to update our site to the latest safest phpWCMS version, but am not sure if my skill level is enough to do it withough stuffing up the whole site. Ideas?


Thanks heaps,
Joydee

You should use FCKeditor 2.6.3 as included here:

Thanks so much for your speedy reply, Oliver. I appreciate it.

I'm sorry to be a nuisance ... but how do I apply or incorporate those fixes? If you could point me in the right direction, I can probably do it, but not sure how to, or where to, incorporate what you sent.

Can you also let me know if it would be feasible for me to update the site to the new wcms download?

Thanks for your help. I know that you are busy and appreciate your time.

Thanks Oliver - I just need help with the first question in my last reply ... repeated here...


I'm sorry to be a nuisance ... but how do I apply or incorporate those fixes for the fck editor? If you could point me in the right direction, I can probably do it, but not sure how to, or where to, incorporate what you sent in the link on the previous reply.

You can go to this site and download most current dev release of phpwcms:
http://jgbm.de/checkout.phtml

Expand it to your harddisk. Open include/inc_ext and you will see the fckeditor directory in there. Go to your account having the old FCKeditor and rename the fckeditor there - also placed in include/inc_ext. This is just to have a backup if necessary. Then copy the whole new fckeditor directory from your local drive to the remote account to the exact same position. Normally that's it.
