I am having trouble getting either CKEditor or FCKeditor 'showing' in Drupal 6 with the Marinelli theme. If I change to any other theme, then they appear and work. I've read all about issues concerning certain features not showing up in Marinelli but so far nobody with my own problem. Have obviously enabled only one or t'other module at a time. DHTML menu is the only other contrib. module I've installed.

Any suggested cure for my blindness here?

Many thanks

Robert

I generally am a big fan of DHTML and use it whenever I can. Reducing those page refreshes is a very good thing in my opinion. I'm also a very big fan of CKEditor. I personally feel it is a significant improvement over it's parent FCKEditor.

I'm not saying that DHTML Menu is causing your CKEditor not to work. I just know that I ran into substantial bizarre problems with the combination of DHTML Menu and Marinelli. Menus were wacko, children wouldn't come down as they should have, graphics in some places was goofed up, and other craziness. I generally found that some (not all) of the stuff that DHTML Menu offers is built into Marinelli. I also in screwing with DHTML Menu in Marinelli found that I had different wackiness between the 6.x-3.5 and the 6.x-3.x-dev.

Or said another way I had to get rid of it. In my case Marinelli just plain did not like DHTML Menu.

By the way I am successfully running CKEditor in Marinelli.

Seems to work perfectly.

thanks for taking the time to reply. Strangely, I disabled DHTML Menu just now and the menus see absolutely the same! viz, as good as they were. I must investigate.

However, more to the point, it didnt make any difference to getting CKEditor to show up. But it reassures me that you are running CKE with Martinelli.

I will try, try again.

I am, though, now getting a Status Report thus:

"You are using a feature that requires $cookie_domain to be set, but it is not set in your settings.php (either built-in filebrowser or quick uploads are enabled in the Default profile)."

Ah, rewinding events by starting from the original Marinelli scheme, it works. I had edited the page.tpl.php to change the rotating images to a Flash animation & another file to remove ref to secondary links. Now building these changes up gradually to discover point at which error occured.

Moral:
* always create sub theme at the start (which I didnt)
* dont panic - check things systematically.
