The 2026 Drupal Business Survey is open. Your response will help shape the future of the Drupal business ecosystem.My boss updated the core of our website to Drupal 6.26. He also updated FCKeditor to be 6.x-2.3 at the same time. Now back in the previous version of FCKeditor (6.x-2.1) we were using, I could edit the fckeditor.config.js files to remove things from the DrupalBasic toolbar. I have made my changes in both the root fckeditor folder as well as its child folder fckeditor. I saved my changes and even cleared the website's cache. However, my changes to the toolbar are not taking effect.
What am I missing? Thanks.

Hanscraft commentedI've also checked the FCKeditor settings and it's assigned to DrupalBasic as well.

Jorrit commentedLooking at the code changes, I can't see why it doesn't work after the update. Can I see the broken editor somewhere online?
Comment #3
Hanscraft commentedThank you so much for the quick response! We have some pretty strict controls so we don't want the Format or image upload options to show. I'm concerned that our staff will seize upon using the formatting and then I'll have to try fixing it after them. Ah!
Another weird thing I've noticed is that for pre-existing posts on our website, when we go into the Edit screen, the text is no longer there in the body box. I click to switch to plain text and there is still no content. If I do not save the page and then click back on View, the original text is still there.

Jorrit commentedHas that last problem also begun to appear after you updated or was that problem also appearing before the update? In any case, the FCKeditor editor is no longer maintained, because it has been succeeded by CKEditor, which has its own Drupal module (http://drupal.org/project/ckeditor). Perhaps you can take a look at that project.

Hanscraft commentedThese problems just manifested after the update. I'm going to try turning off CKeditor to see if that will at least allow older posts to be edited again. I've found reports of similar issues using the CKeditor that has since been fixed, but it was the HTML Corrector causing that issue. HTML Corrector is not turned on for these profiles anyways. Then I saw a very recent comment of someone else experiencing something similar with my blank text body issue. When I turn off FCKeditor, I can see my text again, but of course it's all marked up in HTML.
I've also rechecked my original question about being unable to remove elements off the DrupalBasic toolbar. The files are still showing the edits I made and I've cleared the cache repeatedly and switched browsers, but the default DrupalBasic elements remain. Ah!

Hanscraft commentedI just switched to CKeditor which seems to be working just fine.
