Snippets Plugin

It sounds similar like this one:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.p ... tid=737639
or this patch:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.p ... tid=543655

I just hope that Frederico adds the patch in the next version

But you have learnt how to make a plugin and now if you need any change you can do it easier

It's good that the people share their code in order to improve this editor.

I have placed my plugins directory (and also the smileys and skins) and my custom FCKconfig.js file outside the FCKeditor root directory, to allow an easy upgrade to a new release, without having to upload the same images or plugins again and again, and even without changes to my config file.
My directory structure is like this, and I upgrade in seconds to a new version (only need to change the basepath):

/FCKmyConfig.js
/FCKeditor_2_0/
/FCKeditor_2_1/
/FCKeditor_2_1_1/
/FCKeditor_global/
'- images/smiley/
'- plugins/
'- skins/
'- fckstyles.xml
'- fcktemplates.xml

Yes, that works!
Great stuff!

Your snippet does not work when not using the default plugins directory, because it's calling a script at ../../dialog/common/fck_dialog_common.js

If your snippets folder is not /FCKeditor/editor/plugins, it doesn't find the script.

Hi all,

Firstly thanks greggp for this excellent plugin.

I had a problem with it though ... it was caused by the method used to insert the snippet HTML. It was failing in IE when the html contained certain elements such as lists. This is a known issue with IE mentioned in many places such as here:

http://xinha.python-hosting.com/ticket/129

The solution was to use FCK's own method to insert HTML and this seems to work fine. You can apply this fix by modifying the SelectSnippet function in SnippetsBrowse.html

function SelectSnippet( index )
{
oEditor.FCKUndo.SaveUndoStep() ;

oEditor.FCK.InsertHtml( FCK._Snippets[index].Html ) ;

window.parent.Cancel() ;
}

Cheers
Ben

Thank you for this excellent plugin. How can i have the snippets.xml file placed on another location?

Best Regards
