Problems with fckeditor.properties in JSP Connecror.

I have successfully implemented the JSP connector, including my own user path builder. To get my user path builder working I created an fckeditor.properties file in the WEB-INF/clases directory as follows:

connector.userActionImpl = net.fckeditor.requestcycle.impl.UserActionImpl
connector.userPathBuilderImpl = com.hoylesoft.server.MembersAliveUserFilesPath

With the user path builder working, I proceeded to tweak FCKEditor by adding some more connector configuration parameters and some editor parameters. The resulting fckeditor.properties file is now as follows:

fckeditor.DefaultLinkTarget = _blank
fckeditor.LinkDlgHideTarget = true
fckeditor.LinkDlgHideAdvanced = true
connector.userActionImpl = net.fckeditor.requestcycle.impl.UserActionImpl
connector.userPathBuilderImpl = com.hoylesoft.server.MembersAliveUserFilesPath
connector.resourceType.file.extensions.allowed = csv|doc|gzip|mp3|ods|odt|pdf|ppt|rtf|tartxt|xls|zip
connector.resourceType.image.extensions.allowed = bmp|gif|jpeg|jpg|png
connector.resourceType.flash.extensions.allowed = swf|fla
connector.resourceType.media.extensions.allowed = aiff|asf|avi|bmp|fla|flv|gif|jpeg|jpg|mid|mov|mp3|mp4|mpc|mpeg|mpg|png|qt|ram|rm|rmi|rmvb|swf|tif|tiff|wav|wma|wmv

None of the new properties statements seem to work. That is, I still see the Advanced and Target tabs in the Insert/Edit Link function, and I can upload files not on the list of allowed files.

Any suggestions? I have seen reference to using the web.xml file to provide parameters to the connector. Is this possibly a better method?

Re: Problems with fckeditor.properties in JSP Connecror.

Not to wory. I should have been using the FCKconfig tag as follows:

<FCK:config    DefaultLinkTarget = "_blank"
                     LinkDlgHideTarget = "true"
                     LinkDlgHideAdvanced = "true" />

This JSP connector has been a life saver for me. I may never be able to fathom its depth. Great job.

Thanks,

Danny

Re: Problems with fckeditor.properties in JSP Connecror.

Danny,

thank you for the kind words, I am glad that the connector helps you to ease your development.

Just a tip: Any config you can do with the FCKconfig object is done in fckconfig.js. This is the global configuration for all instances in this folder. The FCK:config tag gives you the possibility to override these configs for the current instance only.

Re: Problems with fckeditor.properties in JSP Connecror.

For those who may benefit from my learning process, here is how I set up my configuration:

I created a file named config.js in a directory named membersalive under in my FCKEditor webapps directory with the following content:

FCKConfig.LinkUploadDeniedExtensions = ".(7z|aiff|asf|avi|bmp|fla|flv|gif|gz|jpeg|jpg|mid|mov|mp4|mpc|mpeg|mpg|png|qt|ram|rar|rm|rmi|rmvb|sdc|sitd|swf|sxc|sxw|tif|tiff|vsd|wav|wma|wmv|xml)$" ;
FCKConfig.LinkUploadAllowedExtensions = ".(csv|doc|gzip|mp3|ods|odt|pdf|ppt|pxd|rtf|tar|tgz|txt|xls|zip)$" ;
FCKConfig.FlashUploadAllowedExtensions = ".(swf|flv)$" ;
FCKConfig.ImageUploadAllowedExtensions = ".(jpg|gif|jpeg|png|bmp)$" ;
FCKConfig.ToolbarSets["membersalive"] = [
['Source','-','NewPage','Preview','-','Templates'],
['Cut','Copy','Paste','PasteText','PasteWord','-','SpellCheck'],
['Undo','Redo','-','Find','Replace','-','SelectAll','RemoveFormat'],['FitWindow','ShowBlocks'], ['Link','Unlink','Anchor'],
'/',
['Bold','Italic','Underline','StrikeThrough','-','Subscript','Superscript'],
['OrderedList','UnorderedList','-','Outdent','Indent','Blockquote'],
['JustifyLeft','JustifyCenter','JustifyRight','JustifyFull'],
['Image','Flash','Table','Rule','Smiley','SpecialChar','PageBreak'],
'/',
['Style','FontFormat','FontName','FontSize'],
['TextColor','BGColor']
] ;               // No comma for the last row.
FCKConfig.LinkDlgHideTarget = true ;
FCKConfig.DefaultLinkTarget = '_blank' ;
FCKConfig.LinkDlgHideAdvanced = true ;

Then I included the following code in my JSP page that initiates FCKEditor:

   <FCK:editor instanceName="EditorDefault"  toolbarSet="membersalive">
   <jsp:attribute name="value">
        <!-- some Java code to load the HTML text to be edited -->
   </jsp:attribute>
   <jsp:body>
   <FCK:config    instanceName="EditorDefault" 
            CustomConfigurationsPath="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/membersalive/config.js" 
            />   
   </jsp:body>

</FCK:editor>

JSP Sample 6 helped get this all in order.

Cheers,

Danny

Danny,

don't forget to override the connector's denied and allowed list too, they should match with the editor.
