In order to avoid some questions I would like to list here some features of FCKeditor 2.x that still aren't available in CKEditor 3.0 (based on http://dev.fckeditor.net/wiki/v3_status):
Server side integration:
You can use for the moment the javascript integration, putting your data in a textarea. This is linked to Html encode output (for asp.net)
http://dev.fckeditor.net/ticket/2872
File browser:
The hooks are ready if you want to use your own file manager (for example you can use a prerelease of CKFinder). A file manager like the one available previously will be available later.
http://dev.fckeditor.net/ticket/2873
Full Page:
For the moment you can't edit a full page (from <html> to </html>). Obviously the Document Properties doesn't work also.
http://dev.fckeditor.net/ticket/4067
Div Container:
http://dev.fckeditor.net/ticket/2885
Toolbar location Out & Shared toolbar:
For the moment each editor has its own toolbar attached to it.
http://dev.fckeditor.net/ticket/4228
Use default browser's context menu:
http://dev.fckeditor.net/ticket/4343
Email protection:
http://dev.fckeditor.net/ticket/4340
Detect paste from word:
http://dev.fckeditor.net/ticket/1427
Show table borders:

Re: Features not available in CKEditor 3.0
Yes making this a sticky would probably cut down on the times that you need to direct us to this thread
Re: Features not available in CKEditor 3.0
Hoping for official Server side integration support (asp.net) soon..
- I think it would be really bad for the editor, if you decide to drop the Server Side Support, since I guess there are alot who uses it
Re: Features not available in CKEditor 3.0
Please, don't spread FUD.
No one has ever said nothing about dropping that, it just has been delayed a little.
Re: Features not available in CKEditor 3.0
This is a list of some bugs related to functionality that existed in 2.x:
Missing Merge cells command
http://dev.fckeditor.net/ticket/3930
Templates: not backward compatible
http://dev.fckeditor.net/ticket/3588
Styles: not backward compatible
http://dev.fckeditor.net/ticket/3589
IE: editor is activated only by clicking in the first line.
You can workaround it by changing the doctype (this problem also existed in 2.x, but there the default was a quirks doctype)
http://dev.fckeditor.net/ticket/1659
IE: using backspace to delete images or other objects navigates the page back in history
http://dev.fckeditor.net/ticket/4047
Context menus are truncated sometimes
http://dev.fckeditor.net/ticket/3494
Allow several css files for the content
http://dev.fckeditor.net/ticket/4194
Missing list properties dialog
http://dev.fckeditor.net/ticket/4358
Color selector for cell properties dialog
Fixed in the current nightly
http://dev.fckeditor.net/ticket/3727
Contents of anchor isn't visible
http://dev.fckeditor.net/ticket/3582
Re: Features not available in CKEditor 3.0
A bug :
Source code shows a blank line and an indentation :
A request :
A character counter with maxlength, please !
Re: Features not available in CKEditor 3.0
No, that's just a preference.
You have already asked for it too many times, and you have been given the code to implement it. If you don't know how to apply the code you should seriously consider hiring a developer.
And this thread isn't meant to talk about your requests, only about things that used to work in FCKeditor but that for the moment aren't ready in CKEditor and so it can mean a problem for someone planning the upgrade.
Re: Features not available in CKEditor 3.0
All our sites are free and without ads, so do you think that we have money to hire a developer ?!
Now I have a character counter that works... Is it so stupid to suppose that other people would be interested by a plugin ?
Sorry to have bothered you so much with my stupid questions and requests.
Re: Features not available in CKEditor 3.0
Hi,
Here is an important missing feature when using ckeditor in complex CMS.
With ckeditor 3.0, we can set one and only one stylesheet to contentArea in ckeditor config. We need multiple stylesheet support as done in fckeditor 2.6
config.contentsCss = ['http://mysite/base.css', 'http://mysite/private.css', 'http://mysite/myskin.css', 'http://myxmlparserserver/main.css'] ;
Best regards
Jean-mat
Re: Features not available in CKEditor 3.0
Yes, I've already linked that one:
Allow several css files for the content
http://dev.fckeditor.net/ticket/4194
Of course, this list might not be complete, I've tried to list the ones that I've found and as you can see they might be quite important in the upgrade process.
Re: Features not available in CKEditor 3.0
Another missing feature is being able to integrate the other SpellCheckers (other than SpellChecker.Net).

Re: Features not available in CKEditor 3.0
there is an option in the Office for writting easily in RTL languages like Persian Language.
i already used tinymce and it had such a feature.
there must be 2 more bottons in the full features package for RTL and LTR functions...
and the code is ready in tiny, but i dont know how to add that to this editor.
sorry for comparing these 2 editors ... but any way this is a lack in this editor.
thanks in advanced...
Re: Features not available in CKEditor 3.0
Hey, what's up?
I've already said that this is not about random feature requests. this is the very first line that I wrote:
The current support for RTL is the same one that existed for 2.x
And about this feature I wrote some basic plugin to provide this feature and then asked that anyone that needed it would test and verify if it worked or not. I pointed several times to them: but you know what? nobody replied at all. Nobody cared enough to step in and develop it as needed so I no longer care about those RTL users.
Re: Features not available in CKEditor 3.0
hi , i`m new here , i have searched but i found nothing specific about activating this so i thought i should ask for.
thanks for your fast reply .
i have found a plugin somewhere from google for rtl . for FCK
http://www.dnastudio.co.il/User_Data/Fi ... xtFlow.zip
but i dont know how to activate it , i cannot find the config file from which i can activate a new plugin.
( i am still using ckeditor from the test directory in the package )
and i can see active buttons on my local using this file skin.html
i have found a config file in the source dir --> core\config.js
but the buttons didnt come from there . i have deleted all the source and core directories for testing where it comes from but still it brings the buttons like before !
any way thank u , i will continue to become familiar with ck , and this way i think i should continue using tinymce
Re: Features not available in CKEditor 3.0
I'm new here + RTL native.
Could you post again your plugin.
Re: Features not available in CKEditor 3.0
here it is: BiDi plugin for FCKeditor 2.4 (or something like that, I don't remember what was the current version 3 years ago) http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=de ... tid=737639
If it doesn't work for you don't be surprised. You'll need to use the version of FCKeditor available at that time.
Re: Features not available in CKEditor 3.0
Re: Features not available in CKEditor 3.0
also missing is the feature to set the overall editor height to 100% of e.g. a div containing the editor with other HTML around it. Resizing the browser window always kept the editor height intact, which is not possible in the 3.0 release.
Another point is the migration of (very complex) plugins from 2.6.x to 3. Using the dialog JS model is not an option, so the only way to do this is using the iframedialog plugin, which is rather basic. E.g. getting the events for OK/cancel buttons, triggering the buttons visibility and pasting things back to the editor is clumsy/not possible currently.
Kind regards, Zahni
