cftextare Custom Configurations file and plugins

Hi guys,

I'm using the CF8 version of FCKeditor which of course is cftextarea. I can't seem to find a way to setup a custom configurations file for use with it. I found this post but it didn't seem to help:

viewtopic.php?f=6&t=9895&p=26465&hilit=cftextarea#p26465

It suggests using code similar to the following:

<html>
  <head>
   <script type="text/javascript">
    var oFCKeditor=new FCKeditor("MyToolbar");
    oFCKeditor.BasePath="./FCKeditor/";
    oFCKeditor.Config["CustomConfigurationsPath"]="/FCKeditor/sn_custom_fckconfig.js" ;
    oFCKeditor.Create();   
   </script>   
  </head>

  <body>
    <cfform action="##" method="post">
      <cftextarea richtext="true" name="MyToolbar" />
    </cfform>
  </body>
</html>

When I use this code however, I just get two instances of FCKeditor on the screen, but I just want one with all the correct settings. Any better way to do this? Any way to do this at all? Also, can plugins be used with cftextarea? Thanks!

Re: cftextare Custom Configurations file and plugins

Ok I found my own acceptable work around for the configurations file. In the fckconfig.js I was able to get the Custom Config path working:

FCKConfig.CustomConfigurationsPath = '/myconfig.js' ;

I just had the path pointing to the wrong location.

Even though this is working now, my plugins still do not work, which really stinks. Any idea on how to make custom plugins work with cftextarea?

Re: cftextare Custom Configurations file and plugins

Ok I figured this out as well.

Just needed to make sure I had the right path for plugins setup in fckconfig.js

Well I hope this helps someone! - probably not...
