How to further compress the size of FCKEditor

I would like to use FCKEditor, but would like to know how I can further compress the FCKEditor, by e.g. removing some of the different files/sections within the FCKEditor.

I know that is it possible to remove all the folders with the underline, but is it also possible to remove for example the skin folders, smilie folders, etc. when you are not using these sections.

Furthermore is it also possible to remove files of e.g. ASP when you are only workig with PHP?

If possible I would like to reduce the size of the FCKEditor to be < 600 KB.

Yes, its possible to remove quite a lot of the editor.
All skins ( keep atleast one ), smilies, .asp, .cfm, and .pl files can be deleted.

You could also delete all the diffrent languages files to reduce the size of the FCKeditor.

OK, that helps a lot. Is it also possible to for example remove the online keyboard and smilies when you are not using them, or will this result in problems/errors with the fckeditor?

Re: How to further compress the size of FCKEditor

i have tried just about every text editor and this one is the best without doubt. its biggest problem i have found is the length of time it can take to download.

although i am not much of a programmer, i have just compressed the resultant html page generated from the php script (this will only work with php)

first in the fckeditor_php5.php file (or fckeditor_php4.php) change the file reference under the CreateHtml function - just add ".php" to the two files

if ( isset( $_GET['fcksource'] ) && $_GET['fcksource'] == "true" )
$File = 'fckeditor.original.html.php' ;
else
$File = 'fckeditor.html.php' ;

then alter and resave the two files in question (in the editor dir) add this to the very top of each of the pages (above the comments) then resave as 'fckeditor.original.html.php' and 'fckeditor.html.php' resepctively

<?
ob_start( 'ob_gzhandler' );
?>

upload the new/changed files and away you go. it has cut download time by about 60-70%.

it has worked well for me so far (php5 on linux/apache). i would be interested in knowing if others have tried the same thing or whether the above works for others. remember to use with caution as i am a mug!

cheers
