Hi all,
Up till now we have been developing a CMS using eWebEditPro (http://www.ektron.com), but have however become interested in using an alternative editor such as FCKEditor.
For those of you who are not familiar with Ektron's eWebEditPro, basically it consists of an activex that runs on the client machine and all editing occurs without posting to the server.
Currently all content is passed from our CMS webpage to the editor, it is edited locally and then passed back to our CMS webpage, all without posting data to the server.
My question is if it is possible to have the same functionality using FCKEditor, or if this feature is already available ??? as this would obvously greatly reduce our development time for the migration.
Any help/suggestions would be much appreciated.
Regards
Rekkie

RE: Migration from eWebEditPro
Rekkie -
I don't believe this is available now... but it's simple to implement since FCKEditor is opensource you can just change the source and add a Save() method to the FCKEditor javascript object that calls XMLHTTP on IE to post the content back to a server page (PHP/ASP.NET whatever...) that saves the content into your CMS.
If you aren't familiar with XMLHTTP there is tons of info on it.
And since FCKEditor 2.0 is cross browser you can also implement that same functionality with Mozilla because it exposes a similar object that allows programatic post / get as well... don't know what that object is called but it works the same.
