Hello,
I have to maintain a website which has not been created by me. It runs FCKeditor v 2.0 RC2 and I'd like to upgrade to the newest version ok CKeditor, because FCK toolbar disappears on Safari Mac, on Chrome, on Firefox, or behaves strangely.
The problem is, I'm desoriented by the folder structure of the new version. File names, folder names folder structure is not longer the same. Especially, my code is calling a fckeditor.html file which no longer exists.
I someone did such an upgrade, any advice will be much appreciated.
Thank you

Re: upgrading from FCKeditor 2.0 RC2 to newest version of CK
First of all, you should definitely *not* use FCKeditor 2.0 due to security issues in the earlier versions of FCKeditor. FCKeditor 2.6.6 is the least you should use, what you are using now is an 8 year old product (!) that is older than some browsers available on the market right now
As for upgrading to CKEditor, this is a most recommended step. CKEditor is far superior to FCKeditor, with lots of new features, bug fixes etc. However, CKEditor was a complete rewrite of FCKeditor, in fact it was written from scratch, with lots of changes in how the internal stuff works, so there is no automatic upgrade path. What is more, FCKeditor is no longer supported and its development was freezed two years ago.
In any case, what you should do is just download the lastest CKEditor version and install it, starting anew. Play with the samples (available in the "_samples" folder), read the Developer's Guide for installation and configuration instructions and try to integrate it with your application.
If you would like to try to mimic your FCKeditor configuration in CKEditor, here is a matrix of the mappings between these two: http://docs.cksource.com/CKEditor_3.x/D ... on_Mapping
Good luck!
