Help for a newbie ?

Hello,

First, please forgive my poor english, I'm French.

I really need help with FCKEditor. The truth is simple : I'm completely lost !
I've tried again and again but no way : I'm totally ignorant of javascript and of course, that doesn't help.

My site is programmed with PHP.

My problem is to make a form that contains 2 textareas using FCKEditor.
And I must count the characters of both textareas.

If I follow the exemple given in documentation, I get something that looks like this :

<?
session_start();
include_once "../fckeditor/fckeditor.php";
echo '<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<head><title>Calendrier-annuaire de la vie associative locale</title>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-15">
<style type="text/css">
BODY { background: #BBEFFF; color: navy; font-family: Optimum,Helvetica,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: medium; width: 80%; margin: auto; text-align: center;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<form action="voirtest.php" method="post">';
$oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor('descrtemp') ;
$oFCKeditor->BasePath = '/fckeditor/' ;
$oFCKeditor->Config['CounterName'] = $_SESSION['descrtemp'];
$oFCKeditor->Config['MaxLength'] = 500;
$oFCKeditor->Value = $_SESSION['descrtemp'] ;
$oFCKeditor->Create() ;
echo '<br>
<input type="image" name="submit" src="images/visu.gif" align="middle" alt="Visualiser">
</form>
</body></html>';
?>

The problem is that :
- this exemple contains only 1 textarea, how do I add a second one ?
- the plugin CharsCounter doesn't work (I've added

FCKConfig.Plugins.Add( 'CharsCounter' );

in fckconfig.js).

I'm aware that my questions may seem terribly basic and obvious to most people, but I would really appreciate some help...

1) just repeat the code

$oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor('descrtemp') ;
$oFCKeditor->BasePath = '/fckeditor/' ;
$oFCKeditor->Config['CounterName'] = $_SESSION['descrtemp'];
$oFCKeditor->Config['MaxLength'] = 500;
$oFCKeditor->Value = $_SESSION['descrtemp'] ;
$oFCKeditor->Create() ;

using another name in new FCKeditor('descrtemp') ;

2) did you put the plugin also in the plugin directory?

OK, I suppose it was obvious for everybody else than me

Yes I did.
Maybe "Config['CounterName']" is not correct ?

Re: Help for a newbie ?

Please, can anyone explain to me, step by step, how to integrate this plugin (Charscounter) in this basic exemple :

<?
session_start();
include_once "../fckeditor/fckeditor.php";
echo '<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<head><title>Calendrier-annuaire de la vie associative locale</title>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-15">
<style type="text/css">
BODY { background: #BBEFFF; color: navy; font-family: Optimum,Helvetica,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: medium; width: 80%; margin: auto; text-align: center;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<form action="voirtest.php" method="post">';
$oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor('descrtemp1') ;
$oFCKeditor->BasePath = '/fckeditor/' ;
$oFCKeditor->Value = $_SESSION['descrtemp1'] ;
$oFCKeditor->Create() ;
echo '<br><br>';
$oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor('descrtemp2') ;
$oFCKeditor->BasePath = '/fckeditor/' ;
$oFCKeditor->Value = $_SESSION['descrtemp2'] ;
$oFCKeditor->Create() ;
echo '<br>
<input type="image" name="submit" src="images/visu.gif" align="middle" alt="Visualiser">
</form>
</body></html>';
?>

I'm despering of doing anything correct with FCKEditor...
