wysiwyg/fckeditor

rotnme - June 12, 2009 - 16:07

I have uploaded wysiwyg and both fckeditors. Put them in: sites/all/modules/wysiwyg/fckeditor/fckeditor. Go to create content, tool bar is there, everything seems fine. When I go to site configuration menu and click on wysiwyg it is saying that "There are no editor libraries installed currently." and lists all the available ones to download. Any ideas anyone? I did try moving fckeditor files up one level to one fckeditor file but doing so I had no toolbar. Thanks in advance.

what are the exact versions of the modules being used? including the library for FCKeditor.

wysiwygapi = version #?
fckeditor.mdoule = version #?
fckeditor library = version #?

wysiwyg 6.x-2.0 fckeditor

wysiwyg 6.x-2.0
fckeditor 6.x-1.3
fckeditor 2.6.4

Modules

Why did you load the FCKeditor module as well? It is my understanding that the WYSIWYG module only requires the FCKeditor library and not the module. You may have the two modules in conflict.

So I thought too. Originally

So I thought too. Originally I had just the library, but I had no fckeditor in my modules. Re-did everything putting in the module as well as the library as a sub of the module. I had fckeditor in my modules and my tool bar loads. However with it set up this way when I go to configure wysiwyg page it tells me no editor is loaded. This is driving me nuts.

This is insane. I have been

This is insane. I have been moving stuff, deleting stuff and re-uploading and I still get the same result. The only way I get a toolbar is if I put fckeditor mod and fckeditor lib in wysiwyg. But then I go to site config /wysiwyg and it keeps telling me that there is no editor installed. What is going on? Anyone? I really have no clue what to do.

Remove all three

Remove all three modules.

Pick one option:

  1. WYSIWYG API + fckeditor javascript library
  2. FCKeditor Module + fckeditor javascript library

They do not coexist and will fight each other if given the chance. I recommend using the FCKeditor Module, it will give you the most fool-proof way. The WYSIWYG API is helpful if you want to use a lot of different wysiwyg editors.

My best advice is to forget wysiwyg and use the BUEditor -- it gives you buttons, loads in seconds, and keeps the formatting tags up front. Less hidden problems, and clients can deal with minimal training for greater flexibility.

Josh thank you, thank you,

rotnme - June 13, 2009 - 15:08

Josh thank you, thank you, thank you. I actually tried both options just because....... Opt 2 seemed to work, I had a tool bar. Option 1 did not. I put wysiwyg in modules and actually put the fckeditor library (the one with editor/_samples) in wysiwyg and had no tool bar and when I went to configuation/wysiwyg the same comment came up that no editor has been installed. I then moved fckeditor out of wysiwyg and into modules. Same result. Just makes no sense to me, but I am really new to this. Crazy question but why would I want wysiwyg? BUEditor? I've been fooling with this so long that I think I've lost my focus. All I am trying to do is build a site about my company that will have text and photos and images. Thanks in advance!

Just tried BUEditor. Small

rotnme - June 13, 2009 - 15:18

Just tried BUEditor. Small toolbar, seems ok I guess. I uploaded an image , resized it but all it was was a line of code. How do I get it to enable/disable rich text.

inspect the filters in use in adminsiter -> input formats

the editor will either supply its own filter or you can add the tags to a filter you want to use or you can use teh FULL HTML filter.
I prefer building my own input format and naming it "editor" as I've never deployed a site where all users have access to an editor.
better_formats.module may also give you some fine grained control in that area.

hey josh i tried BUE editor

Well, after numerous

rotnme - June 13, 2009 - 21:02

Well, after numerous configuration I think I have it. The set up that seems to be working is:

sites/all/(create this) libraries/fckeditor (library)

sites/all/modules/wysiwyg

sites/all/modules/imce

sites/all/modules/imce_wysiwyg

Now to uploade some image modules and see what happens
