Hi
I have been experimenting with using Drupal as my host provides it. I have installed it and have started using it and have managed to create pages, adding url aliases, a contact form and a blog.
I am pleased with what I have achieved already, however, I installed and image handling Module with no problem - found it and uploaded it to the Modules folder. I then opened Drupal and selected it and it worked fine. However, I also wanted to install fckeditor, so I downloaded the latest version being ckeditor. I uploaded this to the Modules folder and when I went to Drupal it was nowhere to be seen in the Modules selection panel. I then thought I would try uploading the original version to the Modules folder. When I did this and went to the Drupal Modules fckeditor was there. However, when I then went to select it under Site Configuration, I clicked on it and whatever I did it kept telling me that it was not installed properly.
It keeps doing this and every time I load ckeditor, it is not recognized as a Module and never shows up at all and every time I load the fckeditor, it shows up in the Modules, but says that it is not installed properly.
With the image handling Module all I did was download it and then upload it to the Modules folder of Drupal, then selected the Module and it worked first time. This was not the same for fckeditor though. Every time I did that, it told me that the Module was not installed properly.
The theme I was using said that I needed to install it under Sites/all/libraries/fckeditor/fckeditor/fckeditor.js. As there was no libraries folder, I had to create this and did this and it still did not work. I installed it under Modules and it told me that it was not installed correctly and it needed to be drupal/modules/fckeditor/fckeditor/fckeditor.js.
This has ground me to a halt with using drupal itself and I just wanted to install something that would help me with content rather than having to hand code.
My question: How do I install fckeditor correctly. What do I have to do and why won't it work when I have done it before?
Also, why is ckeditor not recognized as a Module to be installed when it is uploaded? It says that it is compatible with drupal 6?
Thanks for any help that anyone can give me.

FCKeditor comes in 2 parts,
FCKeditor comes in 2 parts, the 'wrapper' module at http://drupal.org/project/fckeditor and the actual fckeditor package at http://ckeditor.com/download
Right now the module only works with fckeditor 2.6.5, there will be CKeditor integration in the coming months
If you want CKeditor integration immediately, you might try the WYSIWYG API module (http://drupal.org/project/wysiwyg), there are CKeditor integration patches you can test
Thanks/Follow-Up Question
Thanks for that. I have already installed WYSIWYG as a Module. However, the trouble I am having is installing other things such as TimyMyce etc. I go there and it says download and install them under sites/all/libraries. I have created a libraries file under sites/all and have installed TinyMyce, however, when I go back to Drupal and then Site Configuration and clicking on WYSIWYG it still tells me that there is nothing installed.
How do I install these - do I install them all as Modules and/or in the sites/all/libraries or just Modules or just the sites/all/libraries?
I am stuck on this.
Thanks for any help.
Unfortunately I have no
Unfortunately I have no experience with the wysiwyg module as of yet, so I can't help :(

Tried it worked
Hello Ethmoid,
I was having the same problem. First, there was no such a folder under "/sites/all/libraries". So I created one just as you did. From here, all you have to do is unzip the downloaded file and copy the fckeditor folder into /sites/all/libraries folder. I did this way and it working properly.
The only prolbem I am getting is this message "warning: Parameter 1 to theme_wysiwyg_profile_overview() expected to be a reference, value given in C:\xampp\htdocs\drupal\includes\theme.inc on line 617." when I got to administer/site configuration/wysiwyg. Any help in sorting out this will be very helpful.
Best wishes.
The only prolbem I am getting
I have the same issue
Resolved?
Having the same issue with the "warning: Parameter 1 to theme_wysiwyg_profile_overview() expected to be a reference, value given" message.
EDIT: The issue was with the version of PHP I was using. (was getting this an a couple other errors - http://drupal.org/node/604000 is related)
The solution I chose (rather than hack at core or a module) was to downgrade my XAMPP version
XAMPP 1.7.x uses PHP 5.3.x, whereas XAMPP 1.6.8 uses PHP 5.2.x.
Drupal 6.x is not fully tested with PHP 5.3.x yet.
Downgrading my XAMPP problem solved the issue.
See if that solves it.

I am using XAMPP 1.7.2 and had the same error. This worked for me: http://drupal.org/node/613480. Thanks goes to Starnox for finding this.

Hey Fred How are ya, having the same problem myself
Sorry
Hey Joe, sorry for not responding sooner. I am just learning how to keep track of drupal communications! Let me know if you are still having problems.
Here is a very nice
Here is a very nice screencast on How to Install and Configure the CKeditor Module that describes in detail a step by step approach to installing ckeditor in Drupal
And another screencast on How to add Youtube, Vimeo or any other embed content to CKeditor that describes how to configure the mediaembed plugin, in order to be able to add any embed content in Drupal using ckeditor

This screencast assumes no previous FCKeditor installation
I am having the same issues as this thread seems to suggest which is that the CKeditor is not recognized as an available module. This screencast demonstrates the installation of CKeditor with no previous installation of FCKeditor.
My question is is it simply a matter of deleting the FCKeditor directory and saving over the CKeditor? If so, are there potential ramifications for deleting the FCKeditor?
Is the delete of FCKeditor and install the CKeditor the answer?

wysiwyg
If you installed FCKeditor into the library folder instead of modules, you would not see it as a module available. This I recall is the way the WYSIWYG module functions. If you install the CKeditor in the module folder, you won't see it in the WYSIWYG selection menu.
Not sure if this is what you meant. I had CKeditor and FCKeditor both installed as modules as well as FCKeditor as part of WYSIWYG and all were available.
Hope something here is helpful!

Same problem as this thread
I have tried for a week using various instructions. Can's get a wysiwyg.
The Drupal project has been going for 10-years and the most fundamental element is still missing...no wysiwyg with the themes.
The Bluemarine theme is supposed to have a wysiwyg, but not when I default it.

instead of merely repeating your complaints in multiple threads without actually providing any useful troubleshooting info, you might want to try answering the questions you were asked. You're not providing any info with which to help you. I've installed fckeditor and ckeditor with wysiwyg dozens of times and I can assure you it most certainly does work.
