I have 3 installs of drupal 6 on the same server, all use FCKEditor 2.6.3. In two of three, it works fine. In the latest install, the editor works for new posts and editing posts of all kinds until ANY change is made to Visibility Settings or Editor Appearance, or adding a FIle Browser -- for any profile. Then it stops loading for edits, but still works for new posts.
A complete mystery. I've uninstalled and reinstalled twice, now quite familiar with the process. I've also tried to duplicate ALL settings from the successful drupal instances. Still the same issue.
Any ideas? Thanks
Karl

Re: Drupal 6: editor loads for new post but not edit!?
Have you tried changing the visibility settings?
http://drupal.fckeditor.net/setting-up-profiles
admin/settings/fckeditor
Edit advanced user operations; (admin/settings/fckeditor/edit/Advanced),
visibility settings
I found that by changing the toggle from exclude to include; deleting all fields in "Fields to exclude/include:"
then adding the field in which you will edit.
Which field is that I hear you say...well if you go to the page to edit, under the title field is the body field and under the text area you should see a sentence like this
"The ID for excluding or including this element is: edit-body - the path is: node/1/edit"
You have 2 choices, you can either add edit-body to "Fields to exclude/include:" area and/or
add node/1/edit or whatever it is in your case to the Paths to exclude/include: area.
Change these settings for all profiles in admin/settings/fckeditor.
I hope that this was the answer you needed; I personally don't think that this is a great solution, I would like to have been able to include some fields and exclude others but the choice given seems to be either include or exclude.
This solution worked for me.

Tweaking the visibility settings as suggested by Fiona above did not work for me.
Re: Drupal 6: editor loads for new post but not edit!?
It's not an issue of visibility, in fact I can see that the visibility settings work fine. I see just a 3 line textarea where the fckeditor should have been, and only when I set it to exclude edit-post does the "original" drupal text area appear (textarea with lots of lines and the javascript expansion handle at the bottom).
Tried older versions of fck editor too, they don't work either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
