Just can't seem to get FCKEditor to work -- what am I doing wrong???

[eluser]naren_nag[/eluser]
Hi,

I've got CI 1.7 running and want to integrate FCKEditor with it. For some reason it just refuses to work for me ...

I've followed the instructions here: http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/107642/ and on the Wiki .. but continuously get an error saying the file can't be found.

Any help!

Here is some steps that will help you to use the fckeditor in codeigniter.

1.put the fckeditor folder in system/plugins. i.e.

Code:

system\plugins\fckeditor

2. Add this line in config.php. The config.php is located in system\application\config

Code:

$config['fckeditor_basepath'] = "/system/plugins/fckeditor/"; // should start with slash

3. create a file form_helper.php and add the followint lines of code in this file. put the form_helper file in the system\application\helpers

Code:

<?php if (!defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

include_once( BASEPATH . '/helpers/form_helper'.EXT);

function form_fckeditor($data = '', $value = '', $extra = '')
{
    $CI =& get_instance();

    $fckeditor_basepath = $CI->config->item('fckeditor_basepath');
    
    require_once( $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . $fckeditor_basepath. 'fckeditor.php' );
    
    $instanceName = ( is_array($data) && isset($data['name'])  ) ? $data['name'] : $data;
    $fckeditor = new FCKeditor($instanceName);
    
    if( $fckeditor->IsCompatible() )
    {
        $fckeditor->Value = html_entity_decode($value);
        $fckeditor->BasePath = $fckeditor_basepath;
        if( $fckeditor_toolbarset = $CI->config->item('fckeditor_toolbarset_default'))
                $fckeditor->ToolbarSet = $fckeditor_toolbarset;
        
        if( is_array($data) )
        {
            if( isset($data['value']) )
                $fckeditor->Value = html_entity_decode($data['value']);
            if( isset($data['basepath']) )
                $fckeditor->BasePath = $data['basepath'];
            if( isset($data['toolbarset']) )
                $fckeditor->ToolbarSet = $data['toolbarset'];
            if( isset($data['width']) )
                $fckeditor->Width = $data['width'];
            if( isset($data['height']) )
                $fckeditor->Height = $data['height'];
        }
        
        
        return $fckeditor->CreateHtml();
    }
    else
    {
        return form_textarea( $data, $value, $extra );
    }
}

?>

4. open fckeditor.php file form system\plugins\fckeditor and add this line at top

Code:

if (!defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

5. put this line in the view file where u want to display editor

Code:

$data = array(
        'name'=>'content',
        'id'=>'content',
        'toolbarset'=>'Default', // Default or Basic
        'width'=>'100%',
        'height'=>'400'
      );

echo form_fckeditor($data, 'value'); // value is the value that will be displayed by default

Hope this will help you.

Thanks Khagendra,

Looks like an interesting solution -- I will try it out.

I got it to work by moving the fckeditor directory to the root folder instead of the system/plugins folder.

cheers,

Will you please tell me whether u r using in localhost or live site?

- if u r using live site then the steps that i had give should work.

- if u r using in localhost then add the folder name in which ur all the files(like system, index.php residing) in step 2(previously provided) like this

Code:

$config['fckeditor_basepath'] = "/folderName/system/plugins/fckeditor/"; // should start with slash

[eluser]miss_amylee[/eluser]

this is my config

$config['fckeditor_basepath'] = "/myCi/system/plugins/fckeditor/";
