hi there, i am very very new at this so please forgive my ignorance. i'm getting my head around modx, found a tutorial that said FCKeditor was the go, so i've downloaded it... and i don't know how to install it... i found similar posts with a link for installation instructions only the link no longer worked [to do with changing some info in some of the files?]. is anyone able to point me in the right direction? appreciate the time anyone can spare, cheers
ps, relating to modx, i'm not sure if this is right, but i've put the unzipped folder in the same directory as where i found the tinymce one, so 'assets / plugins / fckeditor'.

Re: installation
I have the same problem on localhost.and unable to find fckeditor in modx drop down menu despite extracing the files in the root folder.What I observe that there is no install folder in root since at the time of installation the install directory is deleted.moreover, in resources panel of the modx one is required to enter php configuration code as in the case of tinymce so that fckeditor may appear in drop down menu.it is not as simple as given at the sites of fckeditor/modx ie, just extract the files to root folder and run http;//yoursite.com/install .How can u run install when it is deleted at the time of installing modx.
Since confusion leads to greatness there is no one to offer simple steps to newbies.
sorry

Re: installation
Just go to I saw your post reg difficulty in installing fckeditor.I suffered from the same.However, no response came from any of the so called support forums.I just went to http://modxcms.com/FCKEditor-583.html?? here you download the fckeditor263. extract the files to your root that is f:/xampp/htdocs/modx-0961p2, if your local host is f:/xampp.Fckeditor at http://modxcms.com/.......-583.html? comes with a built in installer i.e. when you extract the files to the /asset/plugins/, the plugin directory contains 2 other directories-1. fckeditor-2. install 3. the existing tinymce-- and then run install.by gong to localhost/modx0961p2/install and the fck editor will be installed without any fuss.
May try and let me know the difficulty if any.
But the point is the forums do not help the newbies by giving such simple steps.The flush out so much that is not required and keep to their cards close to chest.
newbies should make their own efforts.
