CKEditor Location Question

[ScriptJunkie]

In the readme, there is this line:

(Optional) You can change the folder in which the editor file live, by renaming the folder and adding the following line to your admin/includes/configure.php file:
define('DIR_WS_EDITORS', 'the new name of your folder');
If you are using an external add-in for uploading images or other content, then step 5 moves from optional to recommended.

Does "change the folder in which the editor file live" refer to the folder currently named "ckeditor" that resides in the editors directory?

No, it refers to the MAIN editors folder.

No, it refers to the MAIN editors folder.

Thank you :)

Ok, here's what I did:

• I renamed the directory named "editors" (STORE_ROOT/editors/) to blahblahblah for test purposes.
• Then I edited my admin/includes/configure.php file by adding this:

 
define('DIR_WS_EDITORS', 'blahblahblah');

When I logged in to my admin, I was greeted with this error:

You have an HTML editor selected in 'My Store' but the '/editors/' folder cannot be located. Please disable your selection or move your editor files into the '/YOUR_STORE/editors/' folder.

I cleared my cache and waited a few minutes in case my server was lagging, but the results were the same. As soon as I put everything back to how it was, the error disappeared (i.e. no server lag after file updates).

I'm not sure what I did wrong?

Does anyone have any ideas?

Maybe the mod's author can clairfy the instructions?

[ScriptJunkie]

The Mod instructions say to add this to the admin/includes/config file:

define('DIR_WS_EDITORS', 'the new name of your folder');

But since that generated errors for me, I'm wondering if I should also (or instead?) add this:

define('DIR_FS_EDITORS', 'the new name of your folder');

Also, could someone please explain what is meant by

"external add in" in this sentence: "If you are using an external add-in for uploading images or other content, then step 5 moves from optional to recommended."

Would "external add in" apply to Image Handler 2's image upload functionality, or zen cart's product and attribute image upload functionality, or an FTP program? Or none of the above?

FCK editor (NOT CK Editor) has the capacity to upload an image from within its editng console. As this poses a significant security risk, enabling the function is not recommended.

[ScriptJunkie]

Actually, it is CKEditor.

FCK Editor is a whole other addon.

I'm aware that uploading images through the editor (any editor) is not secure and therefore not recommended. I believe this function has been disabled or is otherwise no present in CKEditor for this reason.

However, none of this has anything to do with my questions.

My questions are requests for explanation and clarification of the installation instructions for CKEditor. The instructions I'm not clear about have been stated in my previous posts.

I have asked these questions because I'm trying to find out if I even need to do this step:

(Optional) You can change the folder in which the editor file live, by renaming the folder and adding the following line to your admin/includes/configure.php file:
define('DIR_WS_EDITORS', 'the new name of your folder');
If you are using an external add-in for uploading images or other content, then step 5 moves from optional to recommended.

But until I understand what an "external addon" refers to, I can't make an informed decision. And, if it turns out that I do need to take this step, I need clarification of the instruction, because as written, it does not work.
