FCK fails to work in Mediawiki 1.14

I fail to install the FCK integration with the current version of Mediawiki. I found bug report http://dev.fckeditor.net/ticket/2626, which, however claims that the bug should be patched: "Changed 12 days ago by arczi, 2626.patch added". However, I tested it yesterday with the newest SVN checkouts of MediaWiki, FCK integration and fckeditor, and obtained the same error reported here. Further reports of the same error are:

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension ... _and_Wikia)#Not_Working_1.14_r40286 and two more ("Not Working in 1.14 43724", "Not working at all on 1.14alpha")

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:S ... rev._43724

http://mediawiki.fckeditor.net/index.ph ... .281.14.29

As explained in the previous post I can report only here, someone with the ticket priveleges could perhaps add this information to the bug reporting system itself.

Re: FCK fails to work in Mediawiki 1.14

I just tried to install 2.6.4 with Mediawiki 1.14 and it didn't work. Has anyone been able to get FCKeditor to work with 1.14 and if so, how did you do it?

I have the same problem I think, blank page is loaded when page is edited. Eagerly awaiting a fix / workaround for this.

FCKeditor: 2.6.5 (SVN)
MediaWiki 1.14.0
PHP 5.2.8 (apache2handler)
MySQL 5.1.30-community

Many thanks for the link boente, the patch also worked for me. Strange it has not been checked in to the SVN repository

Re: FCK fails to work in Mediawiki 1.14

Could someone enlighten me how to apply that patch?

I have no shell access to my webspace, only FTP.
So I would need to patch the files localy and then send them to my FTP, right?
As I am on Windows I need patch.exe I assume.

But I have no clue how to patch.
Any help appreciated!

Best,

Stevie

Hi Stevie, the .patch file can be applied using TortoiseSVN

Copy the "..\extensions\FCKEditor" directory to your desktop
install TortoiseSVN
Right click the .patch file with TortoiseSVN and select "Apply patch"
Browse to the FCKEditor dir and press OK
In the file patches window which pops-up right click any of the 3 listed files ans select "patch all"
Save and exit the TortoiseMerge tool
Upload either the 3 changed files or the entire FCKEditor dir back to your webserver
Done!

lmolenaar, you are my absolute hero! I would never have thought about Tortoise.
I thought it is some Linux thingy.
Just downloading Tortoise. Will give feedback!

Thanks a lot,

Stevie

EDIT: yihaa! It worked! I first forgot to right click for applying the patch.
I thought this is done automatically

Thanks again, man!
