CKeditor in Joomla

Hello, I have a problem with CKeditor for Joomla. I have downloaded latest extension of CKeditor (1.5.6), I have a Joomla version 1.5.22. Everything runs without any problems, extension is normally installed. In the Global configuration is set CKEditor as default. In Plugin manager is enabled only CKEditor, but when I want to make a new article or edit old one, there is no editor. I can see only textarea with html code of article (like the default NoEditor plugin is enabled). Does anyone know where is the problem? Or what am I doing wrong? I searched the internet but I have not found any solution. Many thanks for any help.

Re: CKeditor in Joomla

Hi,
please check in Firebug (Firefox add-on) if there are any javascript errors.Maybe there is some conflict between CKEditor extension and other extension you have installed ? Please write which extension do you use.

Re: CKeditor in Joomla

Hi, thanks for helping. I never use Firebug before, but I dont see any error messages (but I am not sure, if I use it right :( ). In Firefox Error console I found error:

CKEDITOR is not defined, at line "CKEDITOR.config.extraPlugins = "linkBrowser,mediaembed,readmore";"

I have this problem in FireFox 3.6, IE8 and also Chrome. I tried it on another clean instalation of Joomla (version 1.5.17) and everything is working perfect! So it must be something in Joomla.

Its clean instalation and I am looking for the best extensions. Right now, I have installed JCE editor, Remository extension, mavikThumbnails and AutoReadMore, but all of them are disabled and the problem still remains.

Please try latest stable Joomla 1.5.23 version. On my host everything works fine with this version. Please check this and give me an info if upgrade Joomla helps you.

Re: CKeditor in Joomla

I still can't reproduce this issue.
Can you check in Firebug in NET tab if all files are loaded correctly (not 404 Error in red).
Do you use on your hosting Google Page Optimizer or any other javavascript, css files optimiezer ?
Which OS, server, PHP version do you use on your hosting ?

Re: CKeditor in Joomla

Oh, maybe I found something! There is an error:

GET ckeditor.js - 500 Internal Server Error

I'm sorry that I could not find it for the first time. I did something wrong and I didn't noticed it. I Never used Firebug before :(

I'm not owner of the web or hosting. I really dont know, if I can answer your questions, but in system info in Joomla I can read this:

PHP Built on: Linux www5 2.6.26
PHP version: 5.2.17
Web server: Apache

I think there are not any optimizers.

I hope it helps you. Do you know how to solve this?

Re: CKeditor in Joomla

This looks like some bug with your server and/or Joomla installation. If you have access to Apache access and error logs, can you check what entries are there about this file? This ckeditor.js file is very important and without it our extension will not work. Please try upload this file one more time and check access/permission to it - maybe your server/script can't access to read this file.

Can you check other browsers like Firefox 4 , Opera and IE 9 ?

Re: CKeditor in Joomla

Sorry for the late reply. I have exams at school, so I dont have much time.

I re-uploaded file, checked permissions and still nothing. Same problem on FF4 and I dont have access to Apache access.

But I think, I found a solution :) I removed .htaccess from /plugins/editors/ckeditor/ckeditor/ and it works now!
Can I have some other problems by removing this file? The content of the file does not seem too be very important :)
