I administer a Joomla site and am trying to use FCKeditor instead of TinyMCE. I got it installed okay and selected as the default within Joomla, but when the editor renders on the web page, it is too narrow and is cutting of the right hand edge of the FCKEditor menu bars. I have set the Mambot config within Joomla to be a width of 100% but it doesn't matter. Also, there are .css config selections to make withing the Mambot config page and various selections do make a difference, but I still have troubles.
If I select Use Template CSS : YES, and Use Editor CSS: NO, the text editor renders too narrow as described above.
If I select Use Template CSS: Yes and Use Editor CSS: Yes, the text editor renders too narrow
If I select Use Template Css: NO and Use Editor CSS: No, the text editor is too narrow.
The only way I can get the text editor to render properly is to use
Use Template CSS: NO and Use Editor CSS: Yes.
The problem then is that it displays a server error message on the page where the user can see it that says the editor_css.css file cannot be found.
Also, I am wanting to implement this editor because I was told it would allow front end file uploads. I don't see the ability to do that from the editor. Can someone please tell me how that is down?
Thanks!
Can anyone please advise me where the editor_css.css file is and what it contains? Was it part of my initial Joomla install that has somehow become delete? Is it part of the FCK install?

Re: Help with implementing FCK editor
The file uploads are mostly attached to creating a hyperlink/anchor tag, but there is also an icon for uploading an image, an icon for inserting a Flash widget (the dialog lets you browse the server and choose a file, or upload a file to the server THEN choose it), and other icons I haven't even looked at, yet.

Re: Help with implementing FCK editor
Setting an explicit width worked!!! Many, many thanks. I wonder why setting it to 100% wasn't working? I presume something in one of the many css files was constraining that, but I never could find it.
Re: Help with implementing FCK editor
Could have been anything, but most likely was contained within a table or layer that wasn't expanded all the way 100%. [shrug]
Glad that helped, tho.
