Yes, please test it.  The sooner this thing gets cleaned up, the sooner I move it into the main CMS WYSIWYG.

Thanks!

I am testing it right away and down below you will see the findings I have (if there are any) after I have downloaded the sources.
  • I have copied to source of the .zip file into the modules folder of 'CMS Made Simple'
  • and chose to overwrite the existing files
  • When I navigated to a page I only saw HTML, so I
  • Navigated to the module overview and there I saw the message 'Needs Upgrade', so I
  • Upgraded the module, and the result was that
  • FCKEditor was shown when viewing a page in the admin console
Looks great. Also saw that
  • you have commented the code :) within the 'FCKEditorX.module.php' document so what is happening is easy to understand, and that
  • you made some preprations for working with additional settings for the FCKEditor
Keep up the good work and I am waiting for the next release where some of the options might be possible to turn on/off.

/Edit: Forgot to mention one point. When I am viewing the settings page of the FCKEditorX I receive the following message in the top of the settings page:
Notice: Undefined variable: moduleaction in G:\webserver\root\test\cmsmadesimple\modules\FCKeditorX\FCKeditorX.module.php on line 215

Do you get any sleep lately? As it looks like you are working day and night :-)

I have installed (or just copied the sources of the new version to the 'modules' folder) and everything is working correctly. I can change settings for the FCKEditor and tested several combination which is working correct.

Question: Any other people testing the new module (or am I the only one)?

The source is also pretty to read and saw that you just use the fckconfig.js to store the additional settings. I was assuming you will do this by storing the information in a database table and call the settings from the table when loading the FCKEditor, but your solution is very nice!

Some small point related to the editor:
  • As mentioned in this post some of the toolbar buttons could be remove as they are not usefull (imho).
  • If CMS Made Simple will be shipped together with FCKEditor, maybe sent FCKEditor a message so 'CMS Made Simple' can be placed on the Who is using page. (If I say so myself as I looked at some 'who is using' sites, this is one of the best integrations)

Update: Did some further testing as I did not looked at the language settings that can be set the same as for the 'CMS Made Simple', but this is not happening.

I have change the language setting of 'CMS Made Simple' to Dutch (Nederlands), but when I go to edit a page the toolbar is still in the English language.

It seems that this only happens for Firefox, within Internet Explorer the toolbar is always displayed in the language which has been set in the 'language settings'. Does FCKEditor always use the browser settings and ignores the language setting that has been set in the config?

However if you go to FCK admin section will see that language setting will be removed, after the changing of language from CMSMS.

Now i must this night a solution that keep always the language of CMSMS.

Your English is good enough to understand your problem. I don't know what the problem is (maybe megabob3 or wishy can answer this question). It looks like it has something to do with read/write right (chmod) in some folders.

If my suggestion is right, wouldn't it be an idea to chmod some of the folders to the correct rights during the installation of FCKEditorX with the CHMOD function within PHP?

Another CMS System (Website Baker) is using a specific chmod function to make this possible, see for example this source and search for the function: chmod_directory_contents.

Hi,

what can I do with file functions.php?
Wich files or folders need an other chmod? I can this change with my FTP-Client.
Can you translate in englisch or german this message: Copia di fck_editorarea.css non riuscita ...

Thanks for your help.

I just tried version 0.6.9 and here are my first impressions: (I use the latest FireFox)
  • it's a bit slow on loading, but on second and subsequent loads it's not too bad.
  • there is a minor error in the word-past function, when selecting both ignore font face and remove styles the tags are not removed
  • there should be a way to set default behavior for the insert from word dialog etc.
  • when inserting via a dialog, the text on the line is selected
  • the arrow keys are disabled after use of some functions that insert text or code
  • ctrl +z does not work
Apart from that I think it's a clear improvement over TinyMCE

Good to see that I am not the only one testing the new FCKEditorX module :-) Regarding some points I can answer questions as this are more or less known bugs/features of the FCKEditor or of the browsers.

Regarding the fact that Firefox is slow with the final release of the FCKEditor. There was a bug report about this issue filed in the bugtracker of FCKEditor.
  • there is a minor error in the word-past function, when selecting both ignore font face and remove styles the tags are not removed
  • there should be a way to set default behavior for the insert from word dialog etc.

Don't know about the copy pasting from MS Word, but I  do know that you need to enable some settings on Firefox if you would like to do copy pasting.
  • the arrow keys are disabled after use of some functions that insert text or code
  • ctrl +z does not work
Strange that this happens when you running a function and that the arrow keys no longer work. Can you more describe in what specific situation this is happening.  The undo button is just working fine for me within Firefox. When typing stuff I can just undo the typing I have done.

I'll try with some examples on the arrow key-disabling

Place the cursor on a line and press eg. the "Insert/Remove bullet list" buton or the "Bold" buton, you can still type, but using ctrl+z or the arrow keys is not possible until you move the cursor using the mouse.

Experimenting indicates that the error is negated by a subsequently pressing the same button.

Using the mouse to do what I would normally use the arrow-keys or some shortcut for works fine.

Maybe I should check-out the bug-section for FCKEditor on their page.
