FCKeditor - followed all instructions, nothing works
I am not getting any error messages. FCKeditor is seen by the system. But nothing works. I have tried this in MSIE 6.X and Firefox 1.5.x.
From the README.txt file:
Installation
------------
1. Copy the module fckeditor folder to modules/.
Done.
2. Download FCKeditor 2.x from http://www.fckeditor.net and copy the
distribution files (the contents of the "fckeditor" directory from
the FCKeditor distribution file) to modules/fckeditor/fckeditor.
Done.
3. See 'How to enable the File Browser' for additional instructions.
For now, I just want the editor to basically work.
Configuration
-------------
1. Modify the fckeditor.config.js file to custom your needs (optional).
WTF? Specifically what I am supposed to do? Since it's optional, I'm leaving this alone.
2. Enable the module as usual from Drupal's admin pages.
Done.
3. Under settings, configure the fckeditor settings.
There is no "settings" under drupal 5.0, I went to Home » Administer » Site configuration -> FCKeditor. If I check "Use FCKeditor in a popup window" I get a link to use rich text editor, if I click that link I get a useless blank page with two buttons: OK and Cancle - nothing works. If I don't check "Use FCKeditor in a popup window" then I get nothing, just as if FCKeditor was never installed.
4. Grant permissions for use of FCKeditor in Administer > Access Control
Now it's Home » Administer » User management -> Access control. But I set all permissions anyway. It didn't do anything.
5. For the Rich Text Editing to work you also need to configure your
filters for the users that may access Rich Text Editing. Either grant
those users Full HTML access or use the following:
<a> <em> <strong> <small> <sup> <sub> <cite> <blockquote> <code>
<ul> <ol> <li> <dl> <dt> <dd> <h2> <h3> <h4> <img> <br> <br /> <p>
<div> <span> <b> <i>Users that need access to tables might be better of using Full HTML
This doesn't do anything to get FCKeditor to work.
So where did I go so wrong?
Just checking to see if you
modules
---fckeditor
------fckeditor
---------FCKeditor
because of some misleading instructions in the README. This put all the working files one level too deep. Instead, the file structure should be:
modules
---fckeditor
------fckeditor
---------_sample
---------_testcases
---------editor
with the working files in the lowest of these two folders. I have shown the next level of folders to try to make this more clear.
I hope this helps.
Michael
No, I got that much right.
The directory structure is as it should be, but nothing works.
You did better than I did at first...
;o)
Looks to me like there should be another fckeditor directory
Here is the error message that I'm getting:
page not found 01/26/2007 - 22:45 modules/fckeditor/fckeditor/fckeditor/fckeditor.js admin
I tried create a third
I tried create a third fckeditor directory, and put the files in that directory, and got this message:
warning page not found 01/26/2007 - 22:51 modules/fckeditor/fckeditor/fckeditor/fckeditor/fckedito ...
So, apparently, no matter how many fckeditor subdirectories there are, it always wants one more.
installation
I agree. the install is a bit awkward. once it works, it seems somewhat intuitive, but i spent very long trying to figure some things out.
1. Make sure you check the directory structure. there is nesting with the same name and that can get confusing.
2. make sure you check the css options. For some themes, you need to have FCKEditor use its own CSS style.
3. I'm not sure why, but when I edit the profile I MUST create a role for users - the default roles don't work
4. You must make sure everyone is in a role
hope this helps.
FCKeditor vs widgeditor
it would be nice to have a comparision of the proposed editors.
I knew FCK before but found only widgeditor on this site, so I installed that one.
Does such a list / comparision exist somewhere on drupal.org ?
Fckeditor seems to install
Fckeditor seems to install perfectly fine using the instructions. Including the pop up.
Can provide demo if necessary.
What version of php is your host using ?
I don't have any outdated browsers to check in. Will see if i can get access to IE 6. FF 1.5.0.1 I dont have access to.
Edit: Loads fine in IE6 as well.
Will give you admin acess to my site to test your browsers if necessary. Have you tired loading the fckeditor demo on their site ? to insure your problem isn't on your machine ?
similar issue with fck and D5
Ran the install by the book, and no fck:: using the FF browser's built in jscript checker, I get these three errors:
FCKeditor is not defined ; source : ../node/add/book
oFCKeditor_edit_body has no proerties ; source : ../node/add/book
Drupal is not defined ; source : ../modules/imce/imce_set_fck.js
Some tweak I'm missing here?
Any help appreciated.
Have you tired loading the
Have you tired loading the fckeditor demo on their site ? to insure your problem isn't on your machine ?
your also installing IMCE at same time, which only makes it more difficult to narrow down the problem.
as seen here : Drupal is not defined ; source : ../modules/imce/imce_set_fck.js
fck and D5
Seems to be a D5 issue. I've got 7 separate installs of fck both inside and outside of the Drupal system and never had a problem - not even the smallest problem - with fck until D5.
imce may be a stumbling block. I'll kill that and see what's up. Thanks
[edit] No relief. Killed imce and double checked input formats, access permissions, fck module config
I'm missing something obvious, I guess.
The error message must have
The error message must have changed some ??? is the first error still the same , the IMCE error should be gone at the very least.
last of the three -
The imce related error is now gone.
First two remain.
At this point D4.7.x starts looking better and better.

widgeditor more or less
widgeditor more or less works with 5.0. You have to edit a "&" out of the module source code. And then, you have two message bodies instead of one, until you reload.
But, unlike FCK or TinyMCE, it basically works. I don't widgeditor has as many features.
Theme-related
I had the same problem. It seems that this problem only occurs with old or custom themes.
Adding
<?phpprint $scripts
?>
great!
thanks for this hint, it helped to solve the same problem with my site:-)
Super !!!
This did the trick for me. I am using a version of treedesert and it didn't work. Now it does.
Thanks a lot.
Possible fix for themes that won't load FCKeditor
I think I've found a fix for themes that don't load FCKeditor. Those of you in need please test and see if it works for you as it did for me.
Make sure your template includes
<?phpprint $closure
?>
I had created a totally new template that uses PHPTemplateEngine but was totally homebrew. Everything was great except no FCKeditor. Finally I compared my template w/ some others that work. The difference was the $closure code. As recommended above, I also include the code
<?phpprint $scripts
?>
Hope this helps, folks!
Still no joy
Hi,
I've been browsing this thread because I'm having the same problem. Drupal 5.1, php 5.2.1, Apache 2.2.3.
The server is at my feet, running Ubuntu 7.04 server, and the above information appeared when I tried to get clean URLs to work, which is another problem.
I've followed all the advice above, and using garland theme, I looked at page.tpl.php and both the suggestions were already there. Still no joy. The suggestion to set FCKeditor to use a pop-up window showed me the Rich Text link, which did nothing at all.
Any more ideas?
thanks,
CW

Meu culpa
This is really embarrassing - I had turned javascript off in Firefox to see how something else worked/didn't without it.
Works fine now.
Sorry about that.
CW
That's great!
Glad you were able to get it working, cw!
print $scripts did it for me!
Dude! Major thanks for the help! Awesome!
There I was, getting ready to tear my hair out, when suddenly I clicked my drupal.org tab (I always keep one open), did a quick search, came to this thread... And found the answer!
You guys are AWESOME! I'm like Chris Farley interviewing Paul McCartney...
AWESOME!
More love for the $scripts/$closure suggestions...
Exactly the cure for my problems with this, too. And I'm finding that FCKeditor plays much more nicely with codefilter, and that makes daddy happy.
Thanks for the suggestion, gentleman. Feels good, not beating my head against my desk any longer...

FCK editor still not working
Hiya
I got excited when I read this thread, but it turned out that I had the two lines of php already in my template (garland-dropdown). I've got javascript active, but still no joy... any other ideas?
rhys
Also works here
Hey, just wanted to say,
print $closureworks for me, too. 'Swhat forums are for, I suppose. Thanks!You the Man!!!!
I've gone 2 days trying to figure out why FCKeditor doesn't work. It was my theme (THIRTEEN), and the page template was missing the
<?phpprint $closure
?>
at the bottom. And now it works!
You the man!!!
YEAH BABY!!!
You guys have made my week! I also was loosing sleep over this stuff and beginning to doubt whether I could follow simple instructions. My faith is restored!!!
The template was incomplete.
<?phpprint $closure
?>
That's the stuff right there!!!
Thanks
How to make tables work with FCK editor.
"Users that need access to tables might be better of using Full HTML"
can you please tell me what do you mean by the above line. I have tried all the possible things. Also went to the forum many a times to see if i could find some help but nothing seemed working. When I create a table using the FCK editor and type in data. The data appears one below the other.
FCKEditor is installed, has access but never runs
Hi, I agree with the OP. FCKeditor doesn't seem to work out of the box with drupal, as I'm having the same problems and really need help in finding out exactly what's wrong and where.
1. I did not change the config file as I just want it to work out of the box
2. I've enabled the module into the admin, there are no errors with FCK paths as the "fckconfig.js" file is in the same folder as "COPY_HERE.txt"
3. Configure FCKsettings. On "/admin/settings/fckeditor"
a) I've put "edit-body" in the box where it says "edit-body" under "Use inclusion or exclusion mode:". I've selected "Include fields, will only load the editor for the selected fields"
b) If I leave these settings as default/empty, then I get the same result as if I filled them in.
b) In theory FCKEditor should only display and run for those big textarea currently on pages.
4. Grant permissions.
a) I've allowed administrator to have full access to everything related to FCKeditor
5) "For the Rich Text Editing to work you also need to configure your filters for the users that may access Rich Text Editing."
I do not understand what this means. I've set my input formats (/admin/settings/filters/) to be: "Full HTML".
With everything installed correctly and all paths okay, FCKEditor never seems to run.
Even if you check the option to present FCK in a popup window all you get is a blank screen with OK and Cancel.
What am I doing wrong? Why doesn't FCKEditor run straight out of the box?
Many thanks

what theme is in use ?

Hi there. Sorry I'm a bit
Hi there. Sorry I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to Drupal.
I am using Blix.
<?php print $scripts; ?>Appears in the head of page.tpl.php and
<?php print $closure;?>Appears in the footer of page.tpl.php
I'm just checking to see what happens if I change the theme to garland.
Wow -- this is strange, FCKEditor seems to work now in Garland, but not in Blix. I'm going to see what the difference is between the two themes.
I'm wondering if my installation of tinymce (now switched off) has anything to do with it?
Anyway, it seems that I have now got FCKEditor to work -- there seems to be an issue with it integrating with themes.
Many thanks.
Problems with Slash
I'm using the Slash theme, which has the scripts and closure lines in head and footer as Blix. FCKeditor is all installed, but doesn't show, and yes, I went to the FCKEditor site, and the demo works there.
Any other ideas?
I need FCKeditor because I use Safari, and FCKeditor is the only wysiwyg editor that supports Safari, AFAIK.

Did not assign myself user role
I have only been using Drupal for only 6 months so sometimes assume too much...
I created custom user roles and gave them all the FCK permissions. My authenticated users are not allowed to create pages, only my custom roles are. I finally noticed some tiny text that said the administrator has the same access as an authenticated user! I just assumed I was omnipotent as the administrator. I assigned myself the same permissions as my custom users and can now see the FCKEditor.
Hope that helps someone!
I tried all these methods,
I tried all these methods, new install of drupal. All the fckeditor options show up. Im using the default drupal theme, still doesn't work. All I see on the site when in edit mode is a css call to fckeditor. Any other suggestions? All files are in the right directory, assigned another role, tried a new user. Help!
FCK Editor ignoring HTML codes
My problem doesn't seem to be quite the same as others here. Still using the default Garland theme, as I haven't had time to finish up my own customized one.
In any case, my problem is that the display of content saved from FCK Editor isn't right. It is totally ignoring all of the HTML tags for ending paragraphs, starting new ones, headings, etc. About the only HTML tags currently being honored are those for boldface (strong) and unordered lists! Here's and example of what I mean:
http://www.design-comp.com/node/34
The really ODD thing about it is if I look at it inside FCK Editor, or the source code (in FCK Editor or in simple text editor), everything looks like it should. Even in Preview mode!
Noticed, in the list of available modules, the editor is labeled as being a beta version. Possible cause!?!? Info on FCK Editor site said build I installed (December 22, 2007 v2.5.1 was latest version.)
http://www.fckeditor.net/
I've re-checked and triple-checked all of my install coding, and I think I've done that right. Going to try installing this module in test build of Drupal on my machine to see if it is doing the same thing here as on my live site... VERY puzzling!

i dont know if this is the rigth place, but i manage to made it work. with these versions.
drupal-5.6
fckeditor-5.x-2.0-beta
FCKeditor_2.5.1
runing on opensuse linux 11.3, apache mysql and php5
i used the instructions that came with the drupal fckeditor, and did not work,
so i did a few more things.
First. the config.php, located in drupal\modules\fckeditor\fckeditor\editor\filemanager\connectors\php\config.php
i got a hard time to understand the routes, so i publish mines as an example.
$Config['UserFilesPath'] = '/drupal/files/' ;
$Config['UserFilesAbsolutePath'] = '/srv/www/htdocs/drupal/files/' ;
then at the end of the file, i paste the next code from the file \drupal\modules\fckeditor\fckeditor.config.js:
$Config['AllowedExtensions']['File'] = array('7z', 'aiff', 'asf', 'avi', 'bmp', 'csv', 'doc', 'fla', 'flv', 'gif', 'gz', 'gzip', 'jpeg', 'jpg', 'mid', 'mov', 'mp3', 'mp4', 'mpc', 'mpeg', 'mpg', 'ods', 'odt', 'pdf', 'png', 'ppt', 'pxd', 'qt', 'ram', 'rar', 'rm', 'rmi', 'rmvb', 'rtf', 'sdc', 'sitd', 'swf', 'sxc', 'sxw', 'tar', 'tgz', 'tif', 'tiff', 'txt', 'vsd', 'wav', 'wma', 'wmv', 'xls', 'xml', 'zip') ;
$Config['DeniedExtensions']['File'] = array() ;
$Config['FileTypesPath']['File'] = $Config['UserFilesPath'] . 'File/' ;
$Config['FileTypesAbsolutePath']['File']= ($Config['UserFilesAbsolutePath'] == '') ? '' : $Config['UserFilesAbsolutePath'].'File/' ;
$Config['QuickUploadPath']['File'] = $Config['UserFilesPath'] ;
$Config['QuickUploadAbsolutePath']['File']= $Config['UserFilesAbsolutePath'] ;
$Config['AllowedExtensions']['Image'] = array('bmp','gif','jpeg','jpg','png') ;
$Config['DeniedExtensions']['Image'] = array() ;
$Config['FileTypesPath']['Image'] = $Config['UserFilesPath'] . 'Image/' ;
$Config['FileTypesAbsolutePath']['Image']= ($Config['UserFilesAbsolutePath'] == '') ? '' : $Config['UserFilesAbsolutePath'].'Image/' ;
$Config['QuickUploadPath']['Image'] = $Config['UserFilesPath'] ;
$Config['QuickUploadAbsolutePath']['Image']= $Config['UserFilesAbsolutePath'] ;
$Config['AllowedExtensions']['Flash'] = array('swf','flv') ;
$Config['DeniedExtensions']['Flash'] = array() ;
$Config['FileTypesPath']['Flash'] = $Config['UserFilesPath'] . 'Flash/' ;
$Config['FileTypesAbsolutePath']['Flash']= ($Config['UserFilesAbsolutePath'] == '') ? '' : $Config['UserFilesAbsolutePath'].'Flash/' ;
$Config['QuickUploadPath']['Flash'] = $Config['UserFilesPath'] ;
$Config['QuickUploadAbsolutePath']['Flash']= $Config['UserFilesAbsolutePath'] ;
$Config['AllowedExtensions']['Media'] = array('aiff', 'asf', 'avi', 'bmp', 'fla', 'flv', 'gif', 'jpeg', 'jpg', 'mid', 'mov', 'mp3', 'mp4', 'mpc', 'mpeg', 'mpg', 'png', 'qt', 'ram', 'rm', 'rmi', 'rmvb', 'swf', 'tif', 'tiff', 'wav', 'wma', 'wmv') ;
$Config['DeniedExtensions']['Media'] = array() ;
$Config['FileTypesPath']['Media'] = $Config['UserFilesPath'] . 'Media/' ;
$Config['FileTypesAbsolutePath']['Media']= ($Config['UserFilesAbsolutePath'] == '') ? '' : $Config['UserFilesAbsolutePath'].'Media/' ;
$Config['QuickUploadPath']['Media'] = $Config['UserFilesPath'] ;
$Config['QuickUploadAbsolutePath']['Media']= $Config['UserFilesAbsolutePath'] ;
as you can see, there are a few diferences with the original, i fix the first letter of Media, Flash, Image, File.
The instruccions said that we must create folders, and those folder where with caps on, but in the code, they where referenced as caps off.
I tried to change the code and folder to caps off, but it did not work.
After that, everithing work out.
I`m sorry for my english, but it`s not my natural language. Also, these is my first post.
I pass al nigth fixing this, soo i dont quite remember all that i did. But im pretty shura thas all.
hope it was usefull.
FCKeditor uncomplete / TinyMCE does not show up at all
Hi,
installing FCKeditor and TinyMCE at my local drupal 5.6 test system I didn't have any problems. Everything works fine.
Putting the same stuff (same settings) to the Server
- FCKeditor comes up only with a very limited view (no tables, to Word insert, no HTML toggle) - doesn't change with different settings
- TinyMCE does not show up at all
Any ideas?
addition
changing skins is also ignored
I only get format, bold, italic symbols, 2 list symbols, image and link symbols
that's it
my fault - working now
for FCKEditor it's working now - somehow the roles and permissions were wrong.
Thanks,
Matthias
Make sure that all FCKEditor files have been uploaded
Borodin, I've frequently had problems with file permissions in the FCKEditor distribution. With a couple of different versions, I found that file permissions in the Gnu Zip version of the distro were set in such a way that I couldn't upload them from OS X to my Linux webserver. Once I cleared permissions on all files, I was able to upload just fine.
So, what I suggest is that you make sure that the entire FCKEditor directory got uploaded. Some FTP clients fail "silently" -- i.e., they don't give you an obvious notification that one or more of the 500+ files that make up FCKEditor didn't transfer correctly.
FCKEditor doesn't work for me, either, unless I give up on popup
I use FCKEditor successfully on four or five other Drupal installs, both 4.x and 5.x, in both embedded and popup modes, but I can't get it working on this one.
I've followed all the install steps, and verified that all test users have roles. I've verified that the theme includes both the suggested "print" statements, and tested in a baseline theme (bluemarine). I've completely replaced the FCKEditor directories to ensure that all files are there and in the right location.
What happens is this: If I click on the link to load the editor in a popup window, all that happens is a "#" symbol appears at the end of the URL string in the location box. No JavaScript error is generated. I.e., some JavaScript browse action is getting triggered, but it's not actually executing the JavaScript to create the new window.
The only way I was able to get FCKEditor to work on this install was by un-selecting the "Use FCKeditor in a popup window" option.
When I do that, I still get an error message that it can't find the custom Drupal toolbars (the fix for this problem should be added to the install instructions, since I remember as I write this that it will happen every time by default unless you manually do something to make sure those toolbars exist where the FCKEditor module wants them to be).
try using the "Basic" toolbar set
I've installed fckeditor twice with Drupal with no problems. Then the third time, all I seemed to get was the "Page not found" message. I ended up switching the default toolbar set to Basic and fckeditor works fine now. For some reason the settings in fckeditor.configs.js were screwing it up, I just use the settings in fckconfig.js
I have the same problem with Drupal 6 and FCK 2.5.1
I have studied all the feedbacks on this tread and tried many of the suggested solutions but I still have not been able to get this FCKeditor 2.5.1 work on fresh Drupal 6.x. Is there any solution from Developer which might help simple users like me save some time?
I have installed the module according to the instructions, and I have downloaded the FCK and put it in the designated folder. I can access the configuration from Admin and everything seams to in order but when I want to create content I can not see the FCKeditor on any field. It does not appear. I use the default Theme "garland" and I have checked the page.tpl.php fle it contain the necessary Closerand Script code as suggested in some feedback to be added to this file. Still no luck!
Tank you for the hard work
Drupal 6.1 FCK 2.5.1
Ran into similar problem with the editor not appearing.. Finally noticed on a slow page load that the editor WAS appearing it was just hidden behind the text input area. The problem was that the theme (Bluemarine) css was not behaving properly with the FCKeditor "Show disable/enable rich text editor toggle:"
To fix this, modify the default profiles to disable rich text editor toggle:
Under Administer>>Site Configuration>>FCKeditor>>Edit FCKeditor profile
Show disable/enable rich text editor toggle: False
No Joy
That didn't work for me :(
Make sure the format is FULL HTML
It works if you select the format as FULL HTML
DR
n00b giving up...
I too followed the instructions but no go, so I am uninstalling it. I am sure though that my being so new to Drupal is a factor. I will patiently wait for FCKeditor to come out of beta along with easier installation and easier installation instructions. Other than that Drupal rocks!
No hair left
Didn't have much to start with but FCKeditor has removed what remained.
I have been through all the steps described here by so many patient people and although there are no more error messages I still don't have WYSIWYG in Drupal 6 / Garland. I know we shouldn't moan about open-source software but F*CK seems well named...
I'm now going to try some of the other editors out there, hoping to find something that is perhaps less ambitious but actually works.
Losing My Hair!
OK...I have Drupal 6.1 installed and FCKeditor - WYSIWYG HTML editor 6.x-1.1-beta2 with Marinelli Theme
I've been pulling my hair out for a day now...can see it just fine in all the admin sections as instructed...checked and tried several things suggested in this forum to no avail...
Someone needs to take the time to simplify this! What good is Drupal as a CONTENT MANAGEMENT PROGRAM without an WYSIWYG HTML editor! I'm about ready to blow Drupal off...the person I'm setting this up for will never survive without this...
If anybody has some ideas to resolve this...please make them. I'm totally unimpressed at this point.
Bad hair day
Well, I finally got F*CKeditor working with Drupal 6.1. The trick is: don't use FCKeditor 2.6 (the actual editor that is, not the Drupal module - why do we have to put up with this name confusion?), use FCKeditor 2.5 (with Drupal module 2.6). Follow the instructions (particularly the brain-twistingly confusing ones about the file structure), and it works more or less as advertised.
But THEN, today, without warning ... it stopped working! And nothing will bring it back. This module is seriously unstable. So PLEASE, you kind and clever folk out there: find out what is going wrong and fix it for us dumb site builders who just want a nice editor that pops up every day without our having to sacrifice a sheep or whatever. I know you're busy, but we're getting desperate.
The sad thing is, when it does work it's really very good...
[EDIT]
Doh! Something nobody tells you! FCKeditor *doesn't work in Opera!* Everything fine in IE and FF now. So open source doesn't talk to open source... The world is getting just too complicated.
So open source doesn't talk to open source
heh, we have bad and good open source , but all bad open source are better then M$. Today to make a project (web one) works you spend 60% of your time to make it works in all browsers (cross Browser) so ...
Works in opera 9.50 +
Still doesn't work in Opera...
I've updated to Opera 9.26, which is supposed to be the stable version of 9.50b, but still no joy. Shame, Opera is by far my favourite browser, it just works so neatly...
But I agree, cross-browser issues are a real pain. FCKeditor is actually doing pretty well to work in IE, FF and Safari (Windows, not tested on Mac).
wysiwig html should be included as a default
After too many hours, I briefly had f*cikingeditor working for text, but couldn't get it to insert an image despite following many convoluted directions. And then some setting combination sent it fubar and i had to uninstall it for the sake of my sanity, (lest i become the protagonist in the latest video of a person smashing their computer).
But really you are so right that the basic editor for content creators should have built in wysiwig functionality. We want our sites to look good right? and who wants to put in html tags as they're trying to create content?
Guess i'm going to have to find another solution, but i'm bummed because it seemed so close to workable. Back to dreamweaver.
FCKeditor is driving me crazy
When I open my edit screen, the html shows just fine. I see the editor, I can enter the information, use the FCKeditor to insert all types of html.
I can enter this and it shows up fine on the edit screen.
but when i look at my screen after i hit submit, I don't see the nice html. instead I see the following:
<ul> <li>how are <a href="http://activelyout.com">you doing</a></li> <li><em>me too</em></li> <li>i am <strong>doing well</strong></li> </ul><p> </p>i have the following enabled as part of the filter

Any thoughts?
Chris
Try to use different input format
It might help if you select Filtered HTML as your input format
it is filtered HTML
but i will go back and try full html to see if the output is rendered correctly.
I am scratching my head because on my edit page, the html shows up just fine.
Why would it revert to html syntax on my output page after I hit submit ?
Chris
Input vs. Output
In the text edit area of FCKEditor, you will see either HTML formatted output or if you click the Source button, you can see the raw HTML.
However, what appears in the node as a result of the edit depends upon which Input Format you select. I suspect that once you change the Input format to Full HTML you will see the results you expect.
There's more about input formats at Filter: Input formats for user content.
I continue to struggle with the term "input format" because to me it appears to be the output format, especially because your actual text input is stored in the database.
__________________________________________________________________________________
Aweigh - not all who wander are lost.
CCK text fields are "plain text" by default.
Goto the content type where you defined the text field
I was using CCK text and it gives two options:
1. Plain text
2. Filtered
Change it to Filtered
Goto the admin> site config> input settings and set up the different default filters
goto admin> FCKeditor and apply the appropriate settings (see above and documentation).
It is fixed.
Chris.
What I notice (But I am using Drupal 6 with f*ck 2.6)
I tried everything.
Seems the DEVEL modules, if you have them, are in the way.
Try disabling them, and then the f*ck menu shows up!
Thats what happened to me.
FCKeditor 2.6 Module 6.x-1.2-1 IE7 & XP
I have installed FCKeditor 2.6 on Drupal 6.2 and can't get it to show up in IE7.0.5730.11 on XP home edition SP3 or on XP media Center edition SP2 IE7.0.5730.11 . It works in XP Home Edition SP2 IE6.0.2900.2180. It shows up in FireFox 2.0.0.14 on XP home edition SP3 and XP media Center edition SP2 and works fine. I have tried it on IE7 with Vista home premium SP1 and it works fine. I have tried it on other XP IE7 machines and get the same results. I have tried various themes and it works on none of them. I am currently using Garland as many have suggested. I do not get any errors when IE7 loads. It just loads with small text areas. This is a clean install. I have not loaded any other modules and as a matter of fact I went in and turned off all the existing modules to see if there was a conflict. Same results. Small text areas and no editor? The only consistent factor is IE7 and XP.
Does anyone have a solution?
Fckeditor in a popup 6.x
To make it work set the editor appearance to:
Default sate: disabled
Show disable/enable rich text editor toggle : false
Use FCKeditor in a popup window: true
The default of not usinsg a popup use the opposite of these settings.

Solution
Thanks for the input, but it didn't fix my problem. It opens up a popup that is blank with only an 'ok' and 'cancel' button at the bottom. It shows that the page has errors.
Line: 24
Char: 1
error: object expected
code: 0
Any further thoughts?
