Hi there!
I'm new to the FCKeditor and not much of a programmer except actionscript in flash...
I have a question regarding security. I've followed the video tutorial that can be found in this forumpost:
http://www.fckeditor.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=7896
The thing is that according to what I understand he sets a password for the pages that you update as well and that doesn't make sense to me since those pages are your actual site and you want users to access those pages without a password... So my question is: Can you use an .htaccess file for password protect the FCKeditor-folder and still have the FCKeditor update html-pages outside of that folder that aren't password-protected and is this considered safe?
All the best, Niklas

Re: Newbie question regarding password protection....
In the tutorial it shows how you can change the page you are editing to one outside the password protected folder. The video shows that you would be editing your mypage.html so anywhere you see that in the index.php and savedata.php files change it to point to the path of the file you want to edit.
EXAMPLE - Here you are editing mypage.html. mypage.html is inside the password protected folder only because it's for demonstration purposes.
CHANGE TO EDIT A DIFFERENT PAGE OUTSIDE THE PASS PROTECTED FOLDER
The just means to back out of the folder you are in. So if you wanted to point to your index.html file you would need to go back by two folders
You can password protect the FCKeditor folder and still edit pages outside of it. As in the video tutorial I would suggest password protecting the cms folder in order to protect all the files. You can still edit pages outside of there once it's protected.
Hope that helps

Oh - I see what you mean - sorry about that!!

I've bookmarked your page - looks very interesting to me with some other stuff like the paypal video, awesome!!. I'm really waiting for the mySQL video connected to FCKeditor.
All the best, Niklas
