I installed xoopseditors, but XOOPS Info indicates multiple problems under Editors Info:

Compact and DHTML have green dots, indicating everything is ok with them.

The following had red dots, indicating that XOOPS can't find a file:

FCKEditor
HtmlAreaEditor
InBetween
Koivi Editor
Spaw
Tiny Editor

For FCKeditor, I noticed that the expected path was /class/fckeditor/, and not /class/xoopseditor/fckeditor, so I moved the folder (fckeditor), and now I get a Yellow Dot, indicating that the module is not installed but the file is found.

For Koivi Editor, I noticed a similar problem, the path expected was /class/xoopseditor/wysiwyg/ and not /class/xoopseditor/koivi, so I renamed it, and now I get a yellow dot.

I can't be as certain about Tiny Editor; there's a /tinymce folder in the xoopseditor package, but the file name doesn't quite match, so just renaming that folder seemed like a useless idea.

However, it seems clear that I have general problems with my editors, and I want to solve these before I install any content modules, because I had problems with my first installation and scrapped it.

I'm trying another host, too. Neither my first host nor this one will change register_globals or allow_url_fopen to the settings recommended, so XOOPS Info is showing red dots there, too.

Any ideas? Are register_globals and allow_url_fopen deal-breakers for getting the editors properly installed? (It seems to me that the folder names, etc., indicate other problems that I'd like to resolve first.)

Thanks,
Jim
