I've installed the editor as instructed and I also have the Drupal code in place.
In face, I'm currently using this editor in another web site and it's been working just fine.
When I updated a Drupal 5.2 site to v6.1 of Drupal and installed the FCKEditor, for some reason the Editor isn't coming up in the site. I see no errors and the module is enabled. It just doesn't show up in a page in the Edit mode.

Same problem at my site (using drupal 6.1.).
I tried nearly all possible combinations of profiles and rights but the editor doesn't showing up.

did you enable a profile and assigned it to a role ??
are you trying to edit with a user of that role ??

I think you should provide more information if you have done the previous ...

found the problem. it was theme-related. the custom theme had no print $closure at the end. added it and now fckeditor works fine.

I was using the -dev branch of FCKeditor on Drupal 6 and it was working fine. After upgrading to the final release, FCKeditor is not displayed. I did not change my theme (burnt) any time near the upgrade, so I don't see how this can be a purely theme-related issue.

I did not try o0avb0o's fix because I do not know where to apply it. As I said, it seems that this is not (at least not completely) a theme issue, and is at least partly a major bug of FCKeditor.

John Karahalis:
A couple of questions:
- Did you upgrade/install any other modules at the same time?
- Did you upgrade to 6.x-1.2-1? (6.x-1.2 had a very ugly bug).
- Does switching to Garland theme solve this issue?
- Are FCKeditor profiles assigned to the correct Drupal roles?
- If you go to admin/settings/fckeditor, does any error message appear?

Thank you for the response.

-I likely did upgrade/install other modules at the same time. It's hard for me to remember which, since our site has been changing rapidly.
-Yes, I'm running 6.x-1.2-1
-Switching to Garland does not fix the issue
-Yes the permissions are set correctly
-No error message on the settings page

I did, though, upgrade FCKeditor from -dev to the final release in a strange way (I didn't know Drupal automated the update process). I disabled the module, removed the sites/all/fckeditor folder, and then reinstalled it. I have been doing this for most of the modules I use and it has never caused any problems before.

I un/re-installed FCKeditor several times to no avail. I even un/re-installed from each of my sites (I'm running multisite) but that did not work either. As I said before, I am using the theme burnt and did not have this problem with the development versions of FCKeditor for Drupal 6.

I had the same problem with FCEditor not working. I took the advice above and changed to Garland, and it does work with that theme. I am using the META Theme, which is obviously the problem. Can anyone direct me to a fix for this theme so I can have them both?

Thanks!

$enclosure did it for me too.

Maybe a good idea to add in the Readme?

There is another thing to check, this was the problem that John Karahalis had (thanks for letting me check that).
When upgrading from earlier versions of FCKeditor module, make sure that all roles with "access fckeditor" permissions are assigned to at least one FCKeditor profile.
