Re: Adding the FCKeditor HTML Editor
 

The config.php file should definitely be there, maybe get the latest version.

Re. webmaster mode.. no, it'd cause more problems than it's worth, always use a decent text editor to modify your template files.

Re: Adding the FCKeditor HTML Editor
 

how would you use this after install?

Re: Adding the FCKeditor HTML Editor
 

This rocks ... X-Cart might want to think about adding this within their 4.2 release.

Re: Adding the FCKeditor HTML Editor
 

Just an FYI for language variables:

You can change all language variables to have the FCKeditor by inserting this:

<script type="text/javascript">
var oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor('var_{$lbl.name}');
oFCKeditor.BasePath = "../fckeditor/";
oFCKeditor.Height="200";
oFCKeditor.ToolbarSet="Default";
oFCKeditor.ReplaceTextarea() ;
</script>

Right before:
{/foreach}
<tr>
<td colspan="2" class="SubmitBox">

in skin1/admin/languages.tpl.

You can also get any new language variables to have the editor by inserting this:

<script type="text/javascript">
var oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor('new_var_value');
oFCKeditor.BasePath = "../fckeditor/";
oFCKeditor.Height="200";
oFCKeditor.ToolbarSet="Default";
oFCKeditor.ReplaceTextarea() ;
</script>

Right before:

</form>
{/capture}
{include file="dialog.tpl" content=$smarty.capture.dialog title=$lng.lbl_add_new_language extra='width="100%"'}

at the bottom of the same .tpl.

*HOWEVER* Adding FCKeditor to all language variables can drastically slow down a page's load time. I recommend only adding it for the language variables that really need it, like txt_welcome. Here's the initial info I inserted at the end of the form called languagespostform (around line 200, right before </form>):

<script type="text/javascript">
var oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor('var_txt_welcome');
var oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor('var_txt_conditions_customer');
var oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor('var_txt_privacy_statement');
oFCKeditor.BasePath = "../fckeditor/";
oFCKeditor.Height="200";
oFCKeditor.ToolbarSet="Default";
oFCKeditor.ReplaceTextarea() ;
</script>

I hope this helps someone else.

Re: Adding the FCKeditor HTML Editor
 

Hi everyone,

I have installed Phil's FAQ Manager (with the FCK editor included) but have troubles changing the FCK editor to the right path. Right now it's not working because I have it installed in my teststore (in a subfolder of my store). The default install of FAQ manager directs everything to the root.

This is the error I am having: The requested URL /fckeditor/editor/fckeditor.html was not found on this server.

I found several files with the path to /fckeditor but not the right one. Can anyone help out here?

Re: Adding the FCKeditor HTML Editor
 

Can't seem to get this work, uploaded fckeditor (version 2.6.3) to the root, and modified all the files in post 1 as per Phils instructions. Unfortunately there is nothing showing up when i try to add a product or do anything else. there is only the html editing box, and the fckeditor is not there. Any thoughts, or anything else i can try or check? I'm inserting the code like such in between table and form of each file mentioned

</table>
<script type="text/javascript">
var oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor('message[body]');
oFCKeditor.BasePath = "../fckeditor/";
oFCKeditor.Height="200";
oFCKeditor.ToolbarSet="Default";
oFCKeditor.ReplaceTextarea() ;
</script>
</Form>

Re: Adding the FCKeditor HTML Editor
 

X-Cart Development Team should think about and offer it by default editor inside all future versions. This is the best WYSIWYG editor I've ever used. Nice post!

Re: Adding the FCKeditor HTML Editor
 

Thanks but this does not work for me in 4.1.8

I get ERROR: Textarea with this id number var_txt_welcome not found

in skin1/admin/main/languages.tpl.

Cheers

Re: Adding the FCKeditor HTML Editor
 

A general problem I have just noticed with this is that how does a client delete unwanted files and images that are loaded up to the userfiles folder - the standard fck file manager does not have that capacity - without purchasing their image manager CKFinder.
