A Simple newbie question...

I haven't found the answer in two days. The ratio of answers/questions is about 1/100. I think the developers are assuming too much about what is understood of their product. Even the documentation assumes too much.

Right now, I'm assuming you need an editing page, and its corresponding "write-to" page.
If you're using php, I think you can just assign the $_POST results to a $variable:
if (array_key_exists('editor_data',$_POST)) {
//assuming your form is inserted and active, and that your submit <input> has name "submit"
//and that your text area is called "editor_data"
$editor_results = $_POST['editor_data'];
//rough query...new to this, too
$sql = SELECT * FROM your_table_name;
//INSERT or UPDATE here
INSERT INTO your_table_name $editor_results WHERE column_id = ColumnName ;
}


Good luck. Right now, I'm just trying to figure out what information is missing between the sample page's replace div example and the underlying coding that it refers to. Because, it's not working for me...

You should start with something easier:

take out CKEditor, just use a textarea. Now add the rest of your code so the user can save and edit the contents of that textarea. When you have that part ready add back the CKEditor call and it will work.

You'll find much more information about creating a CMS using textareas as that's a basic HTML element instead of searching for CKEditor.
