I have made a hack to use xoopseditor 1.10 package with news 1.55. //edited: is this the right section to post it? if not, apologies to the mods.

All you have to do is to locate the news_getWysiwygForm() function in modules/newsfolder/include/functions.php and edit the line for the editor you want (you can study each editor's constructor in order to see which arguments to use).

for example for FCKeditor alter

to

The problem was that the default file tried to pass wrong arguments to the editor constructor, so they editor was able to load, but could not be initialized with the proper values.

I have tested koivi editor, FCKeditor and tinyeditor, under XOOPS 2.0.16. Everything went smooth.

Hope someone found that usefull.

try your hack with koivi, doesn't work.

On testservers I've also noted that the WYSIWYG editors from the xoopseditor package didn't work, except with modules written by phppp. Strange.

You might try this older version of Koivi that you just have to place inside the folder 'class'. (../class/wysiwyg/)

this hack is for XOOPS 2.0.16.
In case you have problems

1)Make sure you set the correct path for each editor at the include() line.
2)Open editor's class file and see what arguments you should pass to the constructor.

for example my version of koivi (/class/xoopseditor/koivi/formwysiwygtextarea.php )contains

so the line "$editor = new XoopsFormWysiwygTextArea($editor_configs);" should work.
Other versions of koivi might not use the same arguments.

Note : $editor_configs is an array of arguments defined in functions.php of news module.
