fckeditor vs. htmlarea

Here at NSHP.org (www.nshp.org) we needed an HTML text editor for administration purposes, we started testing htmlarea but the loading time was high, this is main reason why decided to use a well know open source project called FCKeditor maintained by Frederico Caldeira Knabben.

The FCKeditor module for Drupal 4.5.x is only a link between drupal and fckeditor library which is in the last instance the responsible for creating, configuring and managing the fckeditor object. You can download the source and documentation from htpp://www.fckeditor.net, we suggest you to review the chapter about "Server side integration" there you will find information about server side file management.

We plan to develop a server side integration pack in a future version. Any help will be appreciated.

We're using your FCKEditor module on Pioneer-Net. Excellent is the word. You can get on our site with account test/test. I am looking to integrate support for image management in FCKEditor. Requirements:

• Per-user private roots in image browser.
• Toggle automatically generate thumbnail link to fullsize.
• Pref full image.module-style gen of multiple sizes - at least scale down to max size
  I haven't read any of the FCKEditor docs - off to do that now. If you're working on same, or have any tips, warnings, etc Contact me right away.

Eric these are great news and we (NSHP.org dev team) will be very happy to help you. Recently we developed a Server Side Integration pack which is now part of the FCKEditor for Drupal module, you can download from the CVS.

This SSI pack allows users upload and browse files to and from the server but doesn't support image management.

Thanks for the glue :)

I hacked in support for a hardcoded cap on image size ( scales down with imagemagick on upload if needed ).

In the process I noticed that core.inc is missing a necessary function ( RemoveExtension from io.php ) for handling the case where the file already exists on the server. I just pasted it in.

I'm looking now at chrooting the filemanager to a per-user folder, so that each user gets their own document folder. What's with this unofficial filemanager? Have you messed with it? I might use that for the delete/preview functionality.
