You are setting it wrong.

Re: Show the initial textarea

I mean there's no setting for it. It depends on how you are calling it. If you are calling it "normally" you'd just put your content in the textarea you overwrite. If that's not the case you can probably figure out where it goes in 10 minutes of playing around or looking at the samples

Re: Show the initial textarea

I still have this problem .... I will post some code to show you how i use it...

So .. I call the CKEditor through a function ... In that function i have a case syntax and for CKEditor it looks like that:

case "textarea":
         if( $webeditor ){
            include_once($GLOBALS['p_disk_admin'] . "/js/ckeditor/ckeditor/ckeditor.php");
            $oFCKeditor = new CKeditor( $name ) ;
            $oFCKeditor->BasePath = $GLOBALS['p_web_admin'] . '/js/ckeditor/ckeditor/';                  
                           $oFCKeditor->Value = $_POST[$name];
         
            if( strlen( $validation ) )
            $oFCKeditor->Validation = 'validation="' . $validation . '"';
                                $oFCKeditor->editor($name);    
         }
         else{
            echo '<textarea name="' . $name . '" rows="3" cols="20" id="' . $name . '"';
            echo $commonAttributesText;
            echo '>';//close the tag
            echo htmlspecialchars( $_POST[$name] );
            echo '</textarea>';
         }
         break;

Where am I wrong ?

Re: Show the initial textarea

Hopefully this will help you out. Here's how I do mine:

<textarea name = "tab_content" id = "tab_content"><?=stripslashes($db_info->tab_content);?></textarea>
   <script>
      var editor = CKEDITOR.replace( 'tab_content',
         {
            uiColor : '#ff0000',
            filebrowserBrowseUrl : 'ckfinder/ckfinder.html',
            filebrowserImageBrowseUrl : 'ckfinder/ckfinder.html?Type=Images',
            filebrowserFlashBrowseUrl : 'ckfinder/ckfinder.html?Type=Flash',
                  filebrowserUploadUrl : 'ckfinder/core/connector/php/connector.php?command=QuickUpload&type=Files',
            filebrowserImageUploadUrl : 'ckfinder/core/connector/php/connector.php?command=QuickUpload&type=Images',
            filebrowserFlashUploadUrl : 'ckfinder/core/connector/php/connector.php?command=QuickUpload&type=Flash'
         }
         );
     </script>

The $db_info->tab_content is the information I parsed from my database which is parsed prior to the HTML output. If you're spitting out everything with just straight PHP it won't be hard at all to use what I showed right there to your advantage.

Did that help you any? Or are you looking for something different?

PS: Keep in mind you need to make the call to the CKEDITOR.replace AFTER you initialize your textarea.

Re: Show the initial textarea

Thank you for the reply!

I've found the error ! This code works perfectly :

case "textarea":
         if( $webeditor ){
            include_once($GLOBALS['admin'] . "/js/ckeditor/ckeditor.php");
            $oFCKeditor = new CKeditor( $name ) ;
            $oFCKeditor->BasePath = $GLOBALS['admin'] . '/js/ckeditor/';                  
        [i]   [b] $initialValue=$oFCKeditor->Value = $_POST[$name];
            $oFCKeditor->editor($name,$initialValue);   [/b][/i]
         }
        
         break;
