Basic toolbar yes, default toolbar : no

Hi there,

I hope it's a simple question, but I really don't seem to be able to find the answer. When I use this code, it comes up with a text-area, showing the basic toolbar (just as I requested) :

<?php
$oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor('TextForXMLoutput') ;
$oFCKeditor->Value = 'bladiebladiebla';
$oFCKeditor->ToolbarSet = 'Basic';
$oFCKeditor->Create() ;
?>

When I use this code :

<?php
$oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor('TextForXMLoutput') ;
$oFCKeditor->Value = 'bladiebladiebla';
$oFCKeditor->ToolbarSet = 'Default';
$oFCKeditor->Create() ;
?>

it comes up with a textarea, but no toolbar is visible. And, you kind'a guessed it: I wanna use the default toolbar. What is going wrong ? I did all things mentioned on the website, installed it several times, read all the scripts, but..... didn't find the solution.

Kind regards,

Andre

RE: Basic toolbar yes, default toolbar : no

Well, it may again be the same bug I'm having. Are you using Firefox? If yes, try removing the 'Style' item from the default toolbar configuration and retry it. Does it work? If it works, then it has to do with FCKeditor not being able to load the styles normally. Let me know if this is it.

Same issue, more detail

Hey - I've encountered the same issue. The version of FCK is the latest (2.1.1, I think). Basic toolbar works, but Default doesn't. I created a custom toolbar and started adding individual items until the toolbar stopped appearing.

These elements seem to cause the problem:

['Style','FontFormat','FontName','FontSize'],
['TextColor','BGColor']

I'm guessing those are selects or (in the case of the colors), some sort of custom dialog.

Also, JavaScript console reports that "FCKTools is not defined" when I include any of these elements in the toolbar. The error is from the fckeditorcode_gecko_2.js file - so something related to Firefox I'm guessing.

I'm on a Mac, using Firefox 1.5 and the latest developer release of Flock. Both behave the same way. I don't have a Windows machine to test with handy, so I'm not sure how widespread the issue is.

I'm off to search the forums, but this was the first message I came across, to thought I would share.

It's been days since I've mentionned this and no one has an answer... In IE on Windows, I get to load the editor with the Style dropdown but it's empty so it's not a browser issue, imho... Hoping that putting our collective heads together will reveal something...

Have you checked the configuration of the server?
Are all files server properly, for example does the xml files appear if you load them directly?

Did you read other posts for problems like one with regards to mod_rewrite?

RE: Same issue, more detail

If it's a linux host, check your htaccess file and see if xml requests are blocked. Also check the permissions on the file. If nothing is found there, it could be something at the server level which the hosting company may or may not be willing to change.

We block xml requests on our sites as a matter of course, as it means data stored in xml files can't be directly displayed.

If requests to .xml files are blocked, you can put the content in a dynamic file (eg. php or asp) and set the appropriate response type to text/xml. Then change fckconfig.js to point to your new dynamic file.

eg. in ASP (eg. mystyles.asp)

------------------------------------------
<%Response.ContentType="text/xml"%>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<Styles>
<Style>etc...</Style>
</Styles
------------------------------------------

This also opens up the possibility to dynamically read the styles information from a database or some other location.

Sorry I'm not sure of the PHP equivalent, but there should be an example in this forum somewhere.

Cheers
Ben

RE: Same issue, more detail

Not quite... I've sent a message to my hosting service to see what's up on their side. Meanwhile, I renamed fckstyles.xml to fckstyles.php and fcktemplates.xml to fcktemplates.php. I then added the line :

<?php header('Content-type: text/xml'); ?>

before the line :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

I cleared my cache and it still doesn't work in IE 6 or Firefox 1.07. I'm getting a bit desperate on this one since I'll need the Style pulldown in projects I'm starting really soon. Thanks for the help!

Did you also update the path to these files in fckconfig.js ?

Is your environment accessable externally so we can take a look?

RE: Same issue, more detail

Those elements work (just those 6 ones) with an IFrame each one, so maybe it's some bug about the Mac version of Firefox in the way that the panels are created. But I don't have a Mac to test so I won't be of any help here.

Does the full editor work at the demo site?
I guess not.
Did you tried with Firefox 1.0.7?

Yes, full demo works on the fck site in FF 1.5. And I was mistaken about those other elements - just the Style appears to be a problem. I can live without it for now, but it's got me wondering...

I'm guessing I have something missing on the server (hence the FCKTools error). For the record, I'm using the JavaScript version of FCK with nothing added. Server is Apache 2 connected to Tomcat 5.0. The other unusual feature is that I'm leading the editor via AJAX. Haven't tried to save the changes yet though, so fingers crossed.

RE: Basic toolbar yes, default toolbar : no

Even more info...

I've been reading the other threads below (merlin9876, etc.). I went back and tried adding the Font and color pickers to my customer toolbar and they worked fine. So it looks to be the same bug reported before: Style.

the only difference I see is I get the "FCKTools is not defined" error in the JS Console. Yes, this if FF, but on Mac.

I don't see a solution though.
