I have spent way too many hours trying to implement the FCKeditor on a site I am working on, RSSFocus.com. Three times I have extracted all the files for vers. 2.4.2 and scrupulously followed the Wiki documentation instructions for implementing in ColdFusion. I also added the <cfabort> that one user said was necessary at the end of connector.cfm.
After copying the sample editor, sample02_mx.cfm to the web root and renaming to MyEditor_mx.cfm, and then making the suggested changes in this file, the editor loads fine but the upload and browse don't work at all. When on the I click on the "Insert/Edit Image" button on the toolbar, the Image Properties window comes up OK. When I click on "Browse Server", a huge error message screen comes up. "The server didn't send back a proper XML response. <line break> Requested URL: http://localhost/FCKeditor/editor/filem ... Folder=%2F <line break>Response text:
Then follows the source code sent to the browser for the page connector.cfm. The error message screen has no scroll bars and the message is much longer than can be read, so I can't get to the bottom of it.
The second problem is trying to upload an image file. If I click on the Upload Tab, then "Browse" button, it allows me to browse my local machine and find a file. Then, when I click on the "Send it to the Server" button, the button graphic changes to confirm that the button was clicked, but absolutely nothing happens after that.
Can anyone lend me a hand with implementing the image upload and insert functions with this editor? I would really appreciate it.
Thanks,

RE: Help with image upload and insert- ColdFusion
Hi; This is a well documented problem, and is currently in queue to be repaired on the bug tracking site. This is where all my trials and tribulations have been documented. <a href="http://dev.fckeditor.net/ticket/499">http://dev.fckeditor.net/ticket/499</a> I'm sorry you have wasted so much time trying to solve this, but if you read all my notes you'll see exactly what the problem is. Apparently, there is just not enough of us CF'ers out there to get it moved up the list any faster.

And to easily debug the connectors there's a test.html file in the connectors folder.
