default menu - custom menu

Hi i read the docs and i went into the config file and made my own menu as follows, i am using version
2.6.4 Build 21629

FCKConfig.ToolbarSets["Limitedtool"] = [
   ['Bold','Italic','Underline'],
                ['SpellCheck'],
                ['JustifyLeft','JustifyCenter','JustifyRight','JustifyFull']
] ;

and then in my php file i call it like this

$oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor('txtMessage') ;
$oFCKeditor->BasePath = 'editor/';
$oFCKeditor->ToolbarSet = 'Limitedtool' ;
$oFCKeditor->Value = '';
$oFCKeditor->Height = 400;
$oFCKeditor->Width = 510;
$oFCKeditor->Create() ;

it gives me a popup error that Limitedtool does not exist.

so i changed the php file to Basic, the Basic menu looks like this

FCKConfig.ToolbarSets["Basic"] = [
   ['Bold','Italic','-','OrderedList','UnorderedList','-','Link','Unlink','-','About']

when i change my php file to basic the basic one shows up fine, so then i changed the name Basic to Limitedtool just to test and it still shows the basic one above. I am starting to think that there might be a custom config someplace even though

FCKConfig.CustomConfigurationsPath = '' ;

but i have searched the software for this line of code below, and this line

'Bold','Italic','-','OrderedList','UnorderedList','-','Link','Unlink','-','About'

only shows up once, in the normal config file.

I also just tried using the custom config file process and still gives me error that Limitedtool does not exist. Where else do i need to define it?

I dont know what to do to get my menu to show up. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: default menu - custom menu

UPDATE: well i went ahead and just updated to the current version and i got it to work, i added my custom menu to the config js, but i was torn between which way to include in my php file, using the javascript and textarea class or using the define new ckeditor method, i ended up doing this. it works but i just hope its the right way, objects are not my forte.

at the top i did
include("ckeditor/ckeditor.php");

then down below i did

$CKEditor = new CKEditor('txtMessage');
$CKEditor->basePath = '/ckeditor/';
$CKEditor->config['value'] = ''; //syntax for this  line has not been tested
$CKEditor->config['width'] = 510;
$CKEditor->config['height'] = 250;
$CKEditor->editor('txtMessage');

i did just change the way i did the width and height i had the wrong syntax. but its ok now.

Re: default menu - custom menu

I wanted to post to correct the value statment above, you can get rid of the config value statment all together and just put it in your editor statement , it is actually like this

$CKEditor->editor('txtArticle',clearInput($sql_array->art_message));
the breakdown is ($NAME, $VALUE)


when you want a variable
$CKEditor->editor('txtArticle',"whatever your variable name or even an array from db");
just use double quotes is my experience in the $value section if its a variable.

hope this helps you out to grab your value from the textarea. peace
