Oh where, oh where has my editor gone.

[kaylus]

Greetings,

I have recently installed CMS-MS v1.0.2, installed on a Linux 2.4.21-27 server running PHP v5.05, I falled the instructions in the install manual by the bit (well, I pointed it to my database and such), and everything went well... I thought.

When I go to create pages in the content section there is no editor present. I've made sure that the editor was enabled in the preferences section and I went so far as to yank down the 1.03 version of the editor off of here and it didn't work. I assumed it may be a permissions problem and temporarily gave the editor and (recursively) all things under it mode 0777, but that did nothing.

What might be wrong here?

I assume you're trying to use FCKeditorX and that it is installed properly and active.

Now, the only things you need to do is make sure the user group has sufficient permissions:
In the admin panel go to Users & Groups -> Group Permissions -> (your_group) -> tick Modify FCKeditorX -> Submit.
Then assign (your_user) to (your_group).  That ought to do it!

Jussi,

Sorry about that. Yes this is FCKeditorX (so far, version distributed with 1.0.2 CMS-MS, and the FCKeditorX v1.3 that I installed).

Thanks for the advice, but that did not resolve anything. The Admin group is allowed permissions to modify FCKeditorX, and I can even view the modify settings screen for the module. The problem is: In any screen that FCKeditorX is supposed to come up, it does not - There isn't even a text input field to replace it, like you would think. There is just --- nothing there. Nothing. At all!

K.,

No worries, no harm done!

Go to My Preferences -> User Preferences. What do you see in "Select WYSIWYG to use:"?

[kaylus]

Jussi,

Yes, I have FCKEditor, TinyMCE, and Xinha installed. The others work fine when selected and the None option works fine when selected. When FCKEditor is selected, it doesn't work at all. It just isn't there!

That might be a web browser related thing, then. What browser are you using?

I had a hard time with FCKeditorX & Opera 9.10 (Windows XP Home), so I switched to TinyMCE...

[kaylus]

This is like this, the editor is selected, the editor doesn't appear to have any problems. I can edit the settings, but the "test" editor doesn't show up in that menu either. Which is confusing to say the least. I am using Firefox v2.0, it's not browser related as I can go to the CMS-MS test site and the editor there works perfectly.

Just so one can see what I am truly meaning:



Thanks,
Kaylus

K.,

I'm not sure if this is related to your problem, but it helped me to get rid of some "obscure" error messages:

HTH!

Jussi,

Thanks again for all the help. I crossed my fingers as I performed those actions but they did nothing to persuade FCKeditor to rear its ugly head

K.,

I might be totally wrong, but I would triplecheck all the file & folder permissions...

After those modifications did you even get to see the FCK menus, or just blank screen?

I just read about a utility called fckcheck.php. The article is here:
