InsertHTML from Popup Window

I'm trying to insert some text from a popup window into the FCKeditor in the parent window. I've tried adding window.opener. before FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance when defining the oEditor variable in the insertHTML function, but that didn't work. I've also tried window.opener.document.formname. but that didnt work either.

I had a look at the smiley popup window, but couldn't figure out how it worked and there's a chance that since it's launched from an fckEditor button, it's no something I could replicate with a popup launched from a link.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Hi Herou, I'm really interested in your plugin, because you may have solved a problem I'm having. I'm under a tight deadline, and I don't need to use your whole plugin, I just want to look in your code for how you're reading/writing the editor iframe contents. Is there any way I could get a copy of your code immediately, before you finish it for official release? Thanks in advance!

Hi, I just wrote a plugin for FCKeditor I call HtmlBlock. When clicking its button in the toolbar, a popup window opens and allows you to select from a list of predefined html blocks (which also may come from a database). The html code of the block then gets inserted in FCKedior. It all works fine. I am going to release the plugin very soon, just reply to this thread when interested. It'll be open source of course.

Hey Herou,

Can you maybe explain where your plugin is different from the standard Template functionality of FCKeditor?

When using templates, editor contents get completely erased when choosing a template. This is where my plugin is different; you can choose from a list of predesigned html tiles and insert as many as you like into the current document, always at the current cursor position. Editor contents will not be erased. I needed this functionality in order to insert predesigned html tables in a document.

HtmlTiles 1.0 can now be found in the plugins section (renamed it from HtmlBlock).

HIs plugin doesn't erase the FCK content.
