FCKeditor Text Area division

In the FCKeditor text area, I need to retrieve the data from database for preview and then I need to append more data to it. But, while storing the data in the database I just want to store the new data entered as a new record and not the old data. Can I do that?

Thank you.

We are developing under the zope plateform with our own FCKEditor zope product integrated to it, and we could do something similar to what you described, ie, the editor gets its text from an existing file in a kind of database (in our case, the zodb).

And, yes, you can retrieve the text entered in the the editor from get/post variables, if you put your editor in a form.

Retrieving Data is not a issue for me. The main issue I have is how can I store only the appended part of the text(new entered text) as a new record. I dont want the old data to be included in that record even if it is present in the preview.

BS.

An idea could be to write a plugin that catches the keystrokes and stores every keystroke in a kind of buffer, and then it could be possible to have also a sort of dynamic input with type="hidden" or so, and with value=buffer. Then you can get the new typed text in a get/post variable.

There are many keystroke catchers plugin in the plugins section of this project. You can take a look for example at the CharsCount plugin.

Hope this helps.
