Some questions about FCKeditor

Thursday 12 January 2006 2:13:04 pm

Hi,

First, thinks to Geraint Edwards.

I succeeded to install FCKeditor in eZ publish 3.7.2 and I issued a french doc here:

http://www.linuxorable.net/FCKeditor-l-editeur-HTML.html

but I have some questions:

- To browse the image files I have to change my .htaccess file like that:

      7 #<FilesMatch ".">
      8 #order allow,deny
      9 #deny from all
     10 #</FilesMatch>

and here I removed <i>html</i>

     31 RewriteRule !\.(gif|jpe?g|png|css|js|)|var(.+)storage.pdf(.+)\.pdf$ index.php

Is the right way to fix my problem ?

- Which file should I modify to increase the height of the FCK text area ?
- Is there a simple way to upgrade FCKeditor 2.0 to 2.2 in the Geraint Edwards's extension ?
- Is there any other editor (like xihna) that can be installed as an extension like FCKeditor ? And if yes, is there any Howto ?
- If I want to use HTML tags to write articles, should I install the <i>Embedded HTML</i> extension ? Is the only way to use:

<literal class="html">your html goes here</literal>

Regards,

Pascal

Hi Lydie,

I found the trouble: my DocumentRoot is /usr/local/www/ but eZ publish is not in the root. It is in a sub-diretory. So it's why, I think, I have to change my .htaccess to access the UserFiles which is automatically created to /usr/local/www/UserFiles
But I don't know how to change .htaccess
Therefore, I will find the file to change in extension/fckeditor/ in order the UserFiles be created in the eZ sub-directory.

Just a litle question: in a post of you, I saw you had installed a dyn_menu extention. If this is again the case, could you give me a web address where to see the result ?

Last thing: "Error loading monsite/extension/fckeditor/FCKeditor/fckstyles.xml" message appears now when FCK is loaded before beeing displayed. How can I find what's wrong ? I've any error message in apache log files.

Regards,

Pascal

Hi,

Well:

Changing <i>$this->Height = '600';</i> in fckeditor.php works fine.

About the error message <i>Error loading monsite/extension/fckeditor/FCKeditor/fckstyles.xml</i> it is due to my <i>.htaccess</i> so I removed it :-(

About <i>UserFiles</i> directories, changing in <i>editor/filemanager/browser/default/connectors/asp/<b>config.asp</b></i> line 23 as mentioned in the file,

     19 Dim ConfigUserFilesPath
     20
     21 ' Path to user files relative to the document root.
     22 ' SECURITY TIP: Uncomment the following line to set a fixed path.
     23 ' ConfigUserFilesPath = "/UserFiles/"

...to fixe the place where these directories will be created, doesn't work for me, even I do the same in <i>editor/filemanager/browser/default/connectors/php/<b>config.php</b></i>
So, the only way I found is to remove <i>.htaccess</i>

I have many trouble with my <i>.htaccess</i> and the fact I didn't install eZP in root directory.

Regards

Pascal

For those who would need an fckeditor 2.2 integration and no more dual-window system (a unique window to type in!), I posted such a port in contribs: http://ez.no/community/contribs/applications/fckeditor_integration__1

And the connector works for me too, however what I would like is to make it "ezPublish Content Browsable" ;) . I mean that I'd like to include content files, for an example images from media section, in articles. My root would then be a node and I instead of browsing files, I would browse my media content.
As FCK uses an XML description to get directory contents, I thought about generating xml files from ezcontent treenodes but my problem is that I can't access content outside of ezPublish context execution (I need to get in index.php first), which is not at all current FCK process ( since it's a self php file which is called when user clicks the button ). If someone has an idea if and how such a thing could be implemented..

Hi Lydie,

Indeed FCK integrates this feature, so you can still edit the html code directly by clicking the button "source" (at the top left of the default fck toolbar).
Those who prefer not to have the "source" button could use a specific fck config file but I don't think it's a real problem since it's quite discrete in the toolbar.

Hi,

The new FCKeditor works fine except for one little thing...
it seems that event if you don't write text it adds a blank letter... therefore the isEmpty function doesn"t return true....

any idea what I would have to change?

thanks again

Hi,

Maybe it due to your PHP version.
I had some troubles (not the same of your with PHP 4.2) and since I upgraded PHP (4.4.2) I have no more any problem.
Moreover, I can't reproduce your problem. If I create a folder en leave the text field blank, when I edit this folder the source code is blank.

I run eZP 3.7.2
