Problem integrating FCKeditor with .net

Hi danny, I'm not sure if I know the definitive answer, but here's a couple of suggestions which may help you.

Does the editor recognise the '~' in the basepath? I'm not sure, so I always use a full pathname when I create an FCKEditor in .NET - try with BasePath="/fckeditor/" and see if that works.

Also, I think that the basepath is case sensitive, I have a local source with "/fckeditor/" but on my server it's "/FCKEditor/" and I found that if I copied the source over to the server, it didn't work properly until I changed the case of the basepath.

The "~/FCKeditor" notation is fine.

Some FTP clients will mess up case-sensitivity so that's definitely something to check.

Also check where you have installed FCKeditor. Did you create your ~/fckeditor and then unzip the package inside that, so it's actually in ~/fckeditor/FCKeditor ? Check that both these files exist: ~/fckeditor/fckconfig.js and ~/fckeditor/editor/fckeditor.html.

The problem is the "editor" folder containing the fckEditor.html file is not included in the download zip file.

Where do we get it from.

Ok RTFM fair point. However I didn't expect to have to download some a beta file with the source to run the non beta code.

Further more on using that download I now get a host of javascript errors.

Error: FCKConfig.CustomConfigurationsPath is undefined
Source File: http://localhost:40674/Admin/editor/fck ... ar=Default
Line: 157
Error: A.PluginsPath is undefined
Source File: http://localhost:40674/Admin/editor/js/ ... e_gecko.js
Line: 33
Error: FCKConfig.ContextMenu is undefined

Line: 105
Error: C is undefined
Source File: http://localhost:40674/Admin/editor/js/ ... e_gecko.js
Line: 99

Which I can only guess is due to me trying to use the Beta scripts with the non beta control.

I'm having the exact same problem as the original poster on this page.

http://www.elon.edu/cms4/fckeditor/edit ... ar=Default

Here's what my asp line looks like:

<FCKeditorV2:FCKeditor ID="FCKeditor1" runat="server" BasePath="/cms4/fckeditor/" CustomConfigurationsPath="/cms4/fckeditor/" PluginsPath="/cms4/fckeditor/" />

I get tons of javascript errors when trying to load that page. Adding CustomConfigurationsPath, and PluginsPath fixed some of the javascript errors I was having.

Any help appreciated.

I had the same problem. I had unzipped all the code under my websites root directory.

I was loading the editor into a placeholder. Here is the code that worked for me:

FredCK.FCKeditorV2.FCKeditor f1 = new FredCK.FCKeditorV2.FCKeditor();

f1.BasePath = this.Request.ApplicationPath + "/fckeditor/";

pnl1.Controls.Add(f1);

I would look at the download page, who knows what might be available there?

For anyone interested, this is the download for the scripts:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/fckedit ... FCKeditor/

Not that one would ever know that without downloading a bunch of stuff and unzipping and experimenting over and over.


Would it be so hard to put a link on the main download page to the scripts that the page says are necessary?

Do you mean something like this?
