fck editor woes

Using the 0.9.2 release, having serious problems with FCK. Tried to see if there was already something on the forums about it; I won’t repeat the suggestions SMF made for what I might be trying to search for. Highly apropos, however.

The Add Hyperlink doesn’t seem to be working at all. And in the QuickEdit, it’s adding the path to itself in assets/plugins/fckeditor/editor to everything. Can somebody point me to the instructions for installing TinyMCE? This is wasting too much of my time.

Not to worry! I’ve updated both TinyMCE and FCKEditor for the latest 0.9.2 release. I’ll post them as soon as I can. Should fix some issues.

That will be wonderful; I’ve got a newbie "assistant" whose job is to enter content into the pages I’ve set up. Since I don’t know the language, it’s not a good idea to have me try to enter content! I tend to put in comments and development remarks, which the client is not happy to see on their website! Or get the wrong content into the wrong page...

The assistant is coming along very nicely, and loves working with MODx, especially the QuickEditor, and is studying books on HTML and CSS. I understand and sympathize with her situation, I was there myself several years ago. But misbehaving apps don’t make life easier for either one of us.

Come to think of it...I posted the updated versions of TinyMCE and FCKEditor on the SVN server. They’re in the Tattoo-Assets share under Plugins. TinyMCE should be version 2.0.5.1 and FCKEditor should be version 2.2. At least you can export it out of the SVN till I can get it posted on the site. Still need to test the latest builds with the new 0.9.2 update that’s out now. Not sure how much different it is compared to the interim 0.9.5 stuff I’m messing with.

Jeff, it is quite different, as I merged only what I could get working out of trunk with confidence, along with all known security updates, on top of the 0.9.1 release branch. This was an emergency tactic to get a release out. If you need to make any changes to the current release as a patch, we can merge changes from your branches or wherever it needs to come from on top of the 0.9.1 release branch, as well as merge into trunk for 0.9.5. Once we release 0.9.5 from trunk, I will retire the 0.9.1 branch tactic, copying those changesets to an 0.9.2 release branch, and then reverting the 0.9.1 branch to it’s appropriate state. Whew! I love SVN though; may sound confusing, but damn is it ever convenient.

Here’s the cool thing...the 2.0.5.1 version of TinyMCE I have in the Tattoo-Assets SVN will work just fine with MODx 0.9.2.1. The same applies to the 2.2a version of FCKEditor. Oh, and I’m not refering to the actual Tattoo/MODx trunk. The Tattoo-Assets share is completely separate and is used for storing the different versions of modules, plugins, etc.

TinyMCE 2.0.5.1 has the same problem with adding manager/ to the urls, but editing the plugin to set relative_urls to true in two places seems to have solved that. But does it not use the Resource Browser for inserting images?

Yes, TinyMCE 2.0.5.1 does indeed use the Resource Browser for adding images. It’s also used for linking files and Flash as well. In regards to the relative_urls parameter, I’ll probably need to look into that and see if I can get the plugin to recognize the manager setting for this. Silly me...it might be one of thost things I overlooked.

I upgraded to the TinyMCE in the SVN, and while it works fine by itself (after making the changes in the code), it doesn’t seem to be connected to the resource browser. The insert image button just opens a window much like the insert link button. Anyway, the FCKEditor 2.2a seems to be behaving well, and the "boss" has been muttering for a couple of days now about letting himself get talked into trying this "unreliable" OSS stuff, he should have spent the money on a "real" program, so I can’t be fiddling around with it trying to get things to work!
