FCKeditor Plugin 2.5

I've installed Kurio's v2.6 add-on and it appears to be working fine, however, there's a new version of CKEditor (v3.5) which I've downloaded. I'd like to use it in my ZC store hopefully eliminating some of the issues discussed in this thread.

The new version is quite larger in size and contains many more files and directories that the 2.6 version. I have done file and folder comparisons (which are somewhat different) and I realize when Kurio put this up some thought went into it as a ZC install. How would one go about updating this editor? I'm running ZC 139h.

Here's the link to the latest version of this editor but the install doesn't take into account that it's a ZC install.

ckeditor 3.5 download

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Rod

First.. this link you put up is the link to the full CK Editor written by the authors of CK Editor (who by the way ARE NOT Ku**ROI**) Kuroi merely adapated the CK Editor and FCK Editor for Zen Cart..

Ummmm dunno about you, but instead of trying to re-invent the wheel, I'd download the Zen Cart CKEditor plugin available in the downloads section..:cool: (and YES it is there..)

Here's the link to the latest version of this editor but the install doesn't take into account that it's a ZC install.and it wouldn't since this is just an HTML editor that can be used in a variety of applications not just Zen Cart.. You have to customize it for your specific application.. (which has already been done for Zen Cart if you look in the downloads section..)

No, not trying to re-invent the wheel. So the reason for my post. Wasn't aware that CK was in the DL's as I only saw FCK. Had done a search for HTMLarea and saw only 4. Didn't realize CK would be somewhere else.

and it wouldn't since this is just an HTML editor that can be used in a variety of applications not just Zen Cart.. You have to customize it for your specific application.. (which has already been done for Zen Cart if you look in the downloads section..)

Found it.

Thanks for the reply, Diva....

... and who is this Kurio bloke who keeps getting credit for my work? :cry:

My apologies, K-U-R-O-I.... You knew who I meant....:D(and I was going by memory which anymore isn't that sharp....) Thanks for the work on the CK mod. I just didn't look deep enough for it in the add-ons....sorry for the unnecessary post....

I have installed FCKeditor 2.6.4.1 on v1.3.9d. It looks great looking at the test from the admin side but this is what the page looks like.

What procedures do you suggest that I do to try to rectify it.

TIA TOM :cool:

This is nothing to do with the editor. Instead it's because your stylesheet sets the line height for paragraphs in #productDescription to be a measely 0.1em, so browsers are forced to squish the text right up to try to comply.

My zen cart version is: v1.3.9h

and I am trying to apply FCKeditor Plugin 2.6.4.1 from

While uploading the image, I am getting the alert:

The server didn't reply with a proper XML data. Please check your configuration.

How can I fix it. I have tried the previous post on this forum. but didn't get success.

Thanks

this is not working on 1.5.0 Beta (it did I believe on another installation I had done). Is there any update available?

I am not sure where I should look to for proper support for this addon.

Thanks

FCKEditor has been retired by its authors in favor of CKEditor. It's history and the intrusive support (lots of extra code all over the admin) that had been available for it in the 1.3 series of Zen Cart isn't present in 1.5. So this mod won't work in any release of Zen Cart that is 1.3+.

Personally I'm pleased, the hacks needed to the Zen Cart code for FCKEditor were ugly and irritating, it didn't work with some plugins (such as the News and Article Manager) and it produced poor HTML markup compared to CKEditor (or its nearest competitor TinyMCE).

Thank you kuroi. So what do you suggest I use at this point? I have tried to install the latest CK but when I go to edit a page I still show HTMLpage even though I have selected CKeditor. I have also logged out of session to make sure that was cleared.

Sorry to bother.

Thanks for the advise.

We install CKEditor for all of our clients, and haven't experienced any problems with it. Not sure what you mean when you say that it causes an HTML page to be shown. Did you mean that HTMLarea is being loaded instead of CKEditor. Is so, I'm afraid that's not an issue we've seen, so not much I can recommend.

FORGET IT, I got CKEditor working. I sure do wish I could upload images there.

Is there a magic setting anywhere to allow image uploading from the editor?

Very technical little issue here. I installed this (2.6.4.1) into a cart because of the crappiness of htmlarea and the direction that zen cart is heading in by touting this particular editor. I'm new to it but have worked extensively with another editor so I have a clue but I have a problem with fckeditor.

It automatically puts   in a an empty paragraph tag (and probably in other places as well. If you remove the space symbol, it puts it back in. I know this is buried inside the editor code somewhere but my first dip in didn't find it. Does anyone know where this bit of idiocy is so I can stop it?

Zen Cart is certainly not advocating the use of this editor. Quite the opposite, all support for it has been removed from version 1.5.

On the specific issue, it's one for which you'd need to get support from the FCKEditor forum, though as they're no longer supporting it either, it might be better to simply switch to its successor CKEditor, which produces much better markup.

Is there any reason in the world that you cannot upload images from the newer ckeditor??? I have never heard of this anywhere else.

Is there a setting I am missing? :flex:

I am considering installing FCKEditor v2.6.4.1. The readme file says it is compatible with ZenCart 1.3.x, but makes no mention of 1.5. Does it work with 1.5?

No.

Use CKEditor instead.

DrByte:

No.

Use CKEditor instead.

Thanks!!
