Hi everyone!
I uploaded FCKeditor to my website and read through all documentation, the wiki and this forum, but I'm just not getting anywhere.
It seems that I was expecting something completely different when I installed FCKeditor.
I thought I could edit the pages stored on my webspace and save them.
But I cannot find any "Open file"-function and when I press the "Save"-button I just get the output in plain text.
How can I choose which file to edit?
And how can I then save that file to its original location?
I humbly accept any remarks how stupid I am, because I am SURE I am missing something here...

Re: Getting started...
FCKEditor is a way to create web pages based on visual elements-and that is it. Although it does have features to upload images and such, out of the box, you can't point FCKEditor at a website and begin editing pages and saving them.
If you want to use this to edit and save pages, you'd have to write the logic (in the programming language of your choice) to do that. FCKEditor just handles creating HTML for you.
In my case, I use FCKEditor within a web application where I am allowing the user of the application to create their own home pages. The HTML FCKEditor generates is then passed to a servlet that does all of the back end work of passing the HTML to a content management system.
I hope this helps!
