FCKeditor 2.3.2 and 2.4 do not appear but 2.0rc3 does!

2.4 is not supported yet

2.3.2 should work, but be careful to remove every trace from the old version before installing the new version (on your site, and in your browser cache)

Im also experiencing similar problem.. Both on 2.4 and 2.3, the editor does not appear on the custom block edit page. But I can see and use it to add/edit node content

jhefmv24: what you're seeing might be by design, check the exclusion settings

drinkypoo: I know, but I was specifically replying to jhefmv24

Does the behaviour for you change if you select one of the other toolbar sets?

drinkypoo: does it work with the latest 5.x-1.x-dev version of the module and fckeditor 2.4?

Just to be sure: You will need the module with at least revision 1.19.2.3 for fckeditor.module and 1.4.4.2 for fckeditor.config.js

I might be having the same problem with my upgrade to drupal 5.1... I have 5.x-1.x-dev and FCK 2.4 installed, and popup does nothing as in-page gives the is an iframe with the drupal "file not found" error.

Same problem here. I've tried them all and I get the empty body. No text zone, nada. Gotta try 2.0.

Yes, I have the same problem with drinkypoo. The textarea is not there at all. It flashes for a while then disappear after..

people, please try to debug a little more.. if the fckeditor does not show that means something is wrong - but I have no idea what might be wrong from your descriptions - please find out if all files are correctly extracted, at the right location and no javascript errors are found.

dig deeper.. are ther 404 errors? are there hidden javascript errors (yes they may be hidden)

there are some files that are not loaded visibly for fckeditor.. and the fckeditor code catches some warnings for you - this means those errors don't show up in internet explorer warning dialogs

debugging these warnings is easier in firefox with the firebug extension where you can see more of the errors and warnings as they occur

I understand the fckeditor does not show up sometimes.. but there may be a million reasons why, I need some hints to know in which direction to look for, any error or warning message that is under the hood can help, as can examples. (Feel free to use the contact form to point me to websites where I can look at the real life examples, please don't abuse it though)

I seem to got the same error, haven't tried 2.0 yet tough.
Firebug and the Javascript console (firefox) give me these errors:

FCKeditor is not defined
|-> var oFCKeditor_edit_body = new FCKeditor( 'edit-body' );

oFCKeditor_edit_log has no properties
|-> oFCKeditor_edit_log.ReplaceTextarea();

It seems like the FCKeditor class can't be found.
Hope it helps :-)

It seems I already found the solution: the problem seems to be a theme related problem. When comparing the page.tpl.php files from my theme (initially made for 4.7) with the new garland theme I found out that you need to add

print $scripts

after

print $head
print $styles

which will result in:
print $head
print $styles
print $scripts

I then got an error that said that UniversalKey is an unknown item for the toolbar. This is fixed by removing it from fckeditor.conf.js tough :-) (and clear you cache)

This created some confusion with me too. While the Garland theme has the $script by default, the bluemarine theme doesn't. You might want to add a line in the README.txt specifying that the following line should be place in the theme if it isn't already there:

print $scripts
