FCKeditor interfers with Block Configuration.

For example, if I wanted to set the Calendar module to display on the front page you need to enter "" in the "Show block on specific pages" field. I even clicked "Switch to plain text editor" to try to prevent FCKeditor from modifying the code, but when I submit it still altered the code, and in doing so won't display on the front page.

The only way I could get it was to work was to disable FCK, edit the block, then re-enable FCK. Is there a more efficient way?

Configure FCKEditor not to insinuate yourself on that textarea. Instructions are included with the module.

I didn't know it had the ability to control what fields it is enabled. I'll read the documentation to figure out how. thx for the quick response.

You can exclude field here :
admin/settings/fckeditor/editg

this is actually for drupal 6x, but this post i came across first so think it is fairly prominent for this issue

Go to global profile for fck editor settings > visibility settings, make sure excludee is selected, which it should be by default, add admin/build/block/configure/block/edit-pages at the top (or where ever) of the 'fields to exclude/include' bit and save.

this will stop fck editor from working for this part of block config and will allow you to include/exclude blocks on certain pages

it worked for me, not seen any issues yet

is strange that this has only started happening for me for drupal 6.10 sites

Thanks mattys for a better explanation,

Just a small modification,

Go to global profile for fck editor settings > visibility settings, make sure excludee is selected, which it should be by default, add admin/build/block/* or admin/build/block/configure/block/edit-pages as per your requirement at the top (or where ever) of the 'Paths to exclude/include' bit and save.

and this is done...
