FCKeditor anyone with experience?

Post by SBro »

I'm using FCKeditor for a client, and can't get the file browser / upload to work. I've followed the documentation as per http://wiki.fckeditor.net/Developer%27s ... le_Browser without any success. I see nothing in the browser and nothing uploads, has anyone implemented this with php and has any ideas? cheers.

Yes, I've done it, and problems I experienced along the way usually involved not creating the Userfiles folder and the Images and Files directory within it (or not creating them in the right place), and then failing to put the correct permissions on it to allow files to be moved there.

Other problems were caused by specifying an incorrect base path in the config file.

FCK is a great tool for CMSs but I've wasted hours banging my head against my desk whilst trying to implement it. I thouroughly recommend taking notes as you do it so that next time you come across a problem that had you stumped last time, you'll know what to do. It can be months between one installation and another and I can guarantee you'll forget how to solve those annoying quirks between times!

Thanks for your help, it helped, and I now have the upload and the filebrowser working. I know exactly what you mean about the head banging :) I wasn't able to use the existing toolbar in the design i was given and had to wade through the js to find all the commands needed, not fun.
