I just installed FCKeditor in my Drupal demo install. While it works awesome (and is so much easier than just plain text), I've come across two issues that I'm wondering if anyone can help me solve.

My first problem is more of an administrative issue than one just related to that module. In the module's readme, under the section "Configuration", it tells me this under step 5:

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

How would I go about doing that? I'm fairly new to Drupal configuration, and so that was quite foreign to me. I get the fact that you need to use Full HTML mode, but is there a way to enable that by default (at least for applicable groups). It will get very annoying (esp. on a production-level site) to have to set it every time.

Next, whenever I open up a page which utilizes the editor, I get an error that reads "Unknown toolbar item 'UniversalKey'". Is there a way to fix that error? My best guess was something with keyboard shortcuts, which, the few I've tried (Ctrl+B, U, I, C, V), work. I'm running Firefox 2.0 on Ubuntu 6.10, in case you need to know.

Thanks for your help, in advance!

First problem.
To add the tags to the filters go to
1. Home › Administer › Site configuration
2. and click on configure for your default input format type
3. then click on configure between "View" and "Rearrange"
4. paste the tags into the "Allowed HTML tags:" text area.

Second problem "UniversalKey"
The only way i fixed it up was using the DEV release of the module.

hope this helps

You can set default input format based on user role. Go "Administer -> Site Configuration -> Input Formats", click on respective input format "configure" button, then tick on the roles you want to use that format.

As for the "Universal Key" error just set your FCKeditor toolbar value to "Default". The error will go away and you will still get the full toolbar. Do this by "Administer -> Site Configuration -> FCKeditor". The "Universal Key" keyboard is apparently a feature that is yet to be filled in for present release of FCKeditor, and is turned on only when you choose full toolbar feature.

I have completed my settings of the filters as mentioned above. But still I am not able to view the tables when I save the content. Can you tell me what may be the reason. I have tried many things but nothing seems working.

can you help me out please?

ouch... i didn't know about the "track" function and lost access to this topic when my browser bookmark got reset.
missing tables? how exactly did u create the tables? were u using the fckeditor or coded it? (again, usually it's because the input format is not set to "full html").
