Hi,

I've been strugling for hours, and I just can not get FCKeditor installed.
First i've installed the module under /class/FCKeditor (as I saw somewhere on the forum.)
Then I installed to a directory called "FCKeditor" in the root of my website as in the FCK-wiki :http://wiki.fckeditor.net/Developer%27s_Guide/Installation

Nothing seems to work. I also do not see the module on the module page ( but then again, I wasn't supposed to install the module under the .../modules/ so that isn't a too big suprise as well!

How can things that look so simple suddenly become such a frustration "GRRRR!!$$¨***!!!")

I want to use the fck editor in articles and news ( other mods too if possible but these to are the most important ones)..soo: where and how do I install this mod ?

All the techno stuff I can give to you guys:

Windows XP Proffesional ps2

Server:
Operating system Linux
Apache version 1.3.36 (Unix)
PERL version 5.8.7
PHP version 5.0.4
MySQL version 4.1.21-standard

XOOPS 2.0.14
Midnightgreen skin
Module articles version 1.02
Module news version 1.44

Realy hope to get this going!

Txs for any help!

Having exactly the same problem I just can't get XOOPS to use the FCKeditor. I know it's installed correctly

1)I can run the sample pages

2)I can get it to post info back to a dbase

My guy reaction is that I am issing some stupid little thing that I have forgotten to do like set a root directory for editors.

Any help would also be appreciated as I kind of guess we are in the same position.

I can't get it installed either according to the instructions at:
http://www.xoops-magazine.com/modules/weblog/details.php?blog_id=11

Which says:

>1. Download the development version
>
>http://www.simple-xoops.de/info+index.cat+1+id+47.htm
>2. Unpack the archive maintaining the structure to your XOOPS >root (the file "formdhtmltextarea.php" in the folder >"sonstiges"
>[miscellaneous] has to be copied to /class/xoopsform/, but >remember to
>rename the original file before copying)
>
>3. Install the module via the module administration
>
>4. Assign authorization

-After doing that nothing appears in modules. I copied the folder: FCK-Editor/modules/fckeditor, from the archive into the modules folder of my XOOPS installation. I was then able to add the module in Administration. However, when I choose FCK Editor in the News module administration, my DHTML text editor disappears and I can't edit/post news anymore.

If anyone can tell us how they installed FCKEditor, please do.

Running:
Xoops 2.0.15
News 1.44
FCKEditor 2.3.1 build 1062
Linux

Got XK Editor (Koivi) working in News 1.44

Downloaded xk_editor class v1.0.53 beta2.zip for XOOPS 2.0.x from:
http://dev.xoops.org/modules/xfmod/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1038

Copied folder "wysiwyg" from archive to the "class" folder in my XOOPS installation. I then went into XOOPS Administration News 1.44 preferences and chose Koivi under "Form Option."

Then I got my WYSIWYG editor in News.

Note: I did not follow the directions in the readme.txt from the xk_editor archive such as moving system_imagemanager.html, as I could not find this file in my XOOPS installation. I also did not follow any of the directions in the XK docs folder.

One thing I don't like about this editor is that a Poster doesn't seem to be able to upload/insert a Picture from their local computer.

fckeditor:
the reason you are not seeing your editor, to me, it seems that the fckeditor should go rather in your class folder since it not a module
2. then you have to put the required line in the xoopsformloader.
--in the news and in some other modules it is already integrated.

wysiwyg:

with the wysiwyg editor also goes in the class folder (just in case you have taken a trip elsewhere)
and you need to !

include xoops_ROOT_PATH . "/class/wysiwyg/formwysiwygtextarea.php";
in you xoopsformloader.php , if you don't have it included only.

assuming that you have already selected wysiwyg in your preference!
then select your wysiwyg. - IT is called 'KOIVI'

images:
your user can't upload images! maybe you have not given that particular user or group upload permission.

((who has permission to upload images?!
it is in your system preference - upload images -
assign it to a group.))

the 'golden rule' is to first find a README file or a DOC folder or file. at-least for wysiwyg there is one in detail how to get it running quick and easy

For koivi I might be able to help...

1) Install the editr into the class folder

xoops/class/xoopseditor/koivi

2) edit the file

/class/xoopsform/formdhtmltextarea.php

var $htmlEditor = array();

TO

var $htmlEditor = array( 'XoopsFormWysiwygTextArea', '/class/xoopseditor/koivi/formwysiwygtextarea.php');

That has worked for us on at least one site.

Now if only I could get fckeditor to work...I would have thought the change would have been fairly similar.

Still looking for help on fckeditor.

Edwinspie,

How to install Kiovi:

1) Download and unzip Kiovi (XK Editor)

2) Copy the folder wysiwyg to XOOPS "class" directory (NOT to class/xoopseditor, NOT!)

3) Copy the system_imagemanager.html to modules/system/templates to replace the existing.

4) GO TO your XOOPS "templates_c" and DELETE ALL INSIDE THIS FOLDER EXCEPT "index.html".

Now activate kiovi for some module that uses it, like SmartSection, for example, and use it!

If you don't do step 4 you will have several problems to install or run any editor. Read the thread where some people helped me:

Hi Jordi,

FINALLY (!!!) a simple and clear explaination which made me see that there was something wrong with my download because I didn't have the system_imagemanager.html file.

Downloaded other version
Followed your explaination
10 minutes : over an out!

And then to know that i've been strugling for hours (if not more than a full day !!!!!)

Someone should put your explaination into the Q&A or documentation because this is by far the best of what I've found on this topic up till now ( and I sure did some searching on it ! )

Thanks a mill!

Edwin
