Hi,
Just getting started using CKEditor and CKFinder, so far they look like a great upgrade from FCKEditor. I was worried using two tools instead of just one would be more difficult, but since CKFinder uses server-side scripting whereas CKEditor does not, I see how it makes sense to separate the two.
One suggestion that might help other developers, on line 50 of /ckfinder/_samples/ckeditor.html it says:
// The second parameter (optional), is the path for the CKFinder installation (default = "/ckfinder/").
Saying default = "/ckfinder/" in reference to the second parameter means that if you don't pass a second parameter to the setupCKEditor function, the default value OF THE PARAMETER is "/ckfinder/" i.e. CKFinder.setupCKEditor( editor ) is equivalent to CKFinder.setupCKEditor( editor, '/ckfinder/' ) which I found through a lot of hair pulling is NOT the case, in fact the default value seems to be "../" so please don't say that it's "/ckfinder/" as that's not true! You might however say that ckfinder is installed by default in the "/ckfinder/" directory, but you have to specify that by doing CKFinder.setupCKEditor( editor, '/ckfinder/' ) .
Just trying to save other folks some misery. I'm sure I will have more questions as I get going with CKEditor/CKFinder, I did get my client to approve buying licenses for both and am waiting for payment.
Thanks,
Chris
