I've been banging my head against a wall trying to work out why I just get empty space where the editor should be on one of my sites - it works fine on all the others - and found that if I put the fckeditor folder inside a folder called admin, it doesnt work!
My test PHP file is:
<? include("../fckeditor/fckeditor.php") ; $oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor('FCKeditor1') ; $oFCKeditor->BasePath = "/vtt/admin/fckeditor/" ; $oFCKeditor->Value = 'This is some <strong>sample text</strong>. You are using <a href="<a href="http://www.fckeditor.net/" target="_blank">http://www.fckeditor.net/</a>">FCKeditor</a>.' ; $oFCKeditor->Create() ; ?>
RE: doesn't work if in path containing 'admin
does it explode?
does it gives errors? javascript errors? php errors?
etc...
Have you checked that it isn't something in your server setup (sure it looks like some restriction based on folder name, maybe an htaccess rule)?
