Can't see editor in admin?

Post by Mateo1041 »

I recently installed CMS Made Simple, but find I can't add or edit pages.  All it shows is the three tabs (Main, Options, Preview), but no edit box is present.  Am I doing something wrong?  How can I add or edit pages?

Thanks,
- Matt

No one else has experienced this before?

I did check and FCKeditorX is enabled under User Preferences.  The content box shows when "none" is selected, but not when I select FCKeditorX.

I can use FCKeditorX on other websites.  It just doesn't work with CMSMS.  Both Firefox and IE don't work.

Why won't FCKeditorX show on a brand new installation?

Yes, Javascript is enabled.  And I can use FCKeditorX on another website that also uses CMSMS 1.0.2.

The website that doesn't work uses 1.0.5, but will check on other statistics if they're still needed when I get into the office.  I'm just surprised it doesn't work out of the box.  :-(

I think I had this problem with another CMSMS website I set up, but can't for the life of me remember when I did to fix it.  I thought there had been a post that pointed me in the right direction, but right now I'm finding absolutely zero information on this on the forums.

Here's more information:
  • Apache/2.0.54 (Fedora)
  • PHP/5.0.4
  • MySQL 4.1.14
Let me know if anything else is needed.  Thanks.

Neither can we. Perhaps a hosting context issue.

It's not on the same server, but it's with the same host.  I use Plesk VPS for both.

Here's the Javascript error I'm getting on pages where I don't see the FCKeditorX content box.  Maybe it's related?

Code: Select all

Error: document.getElementById(tabs[j].id + "_c") has no properties

I've attached a screenshot.  Surely I can't be the only one with this problem?  This is such a great CMS and it'll be a shame if I can't get it working and need to look elsewhere.

I just downloaded FCKeditor from http://www.fckeditor.net and tried viewing their PHP samples on the same server.  These also don't work.  Is there some PHP variable that's not set properly in either php.ini or Apache?  Do I need to include some kind of ini_set at the top of my config.php file?

Thanks,

Here's an FCKeditor post I created on their discussion board:

http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php? ... _id=257180

Hopefully I get a response soon.  I couldn't find any adequate PHP information.  And I'm not paying $200 for an open source project.  In that case I might as well purchase something instead that does work.  :-)

CMSms has also a TinyMCE option, hasn't it ?
