Common to all versions of b2evolution

Download the tarball of FCKeditor from the site: http://www.fckeditor.net/download/ Once you've downloaded the tarball, extract it to the document root of your web server.

So yo will have /FCKeditor on the root of the web server accesible via web.

As things are, you can test fckeditor with the url http://<yoursite>/FCKeditor/_samples/default.html However, we need to make a simple change here so that the changes listed below will work. Rename the /FCKeditor directory to /fckeditor

Plugin version of fckeditor for b2evolution

The FCKeditor Plugin allows you to integrate FCKeditor as a RTE (Rich Text Editor) - also known as WYSIWYG ("What you see is what you get") - for editing items.

README

Recently, I developed the FCKeditor plugin fopr b2evolution (version 1.9.3)

FULL MANUAL at manual.b2evolution.net

Some notes:

The upload directory is defined inside fckeditor, you have 2 options, create a directory weblog/media/ with perms to your apache owner or manually change the files.

• To change the upload directory you must manually change this files
  • FCKeditor/editor/filemanager/browser/default/connectors/php/config.php and
  • FCKeditor/editor/filemanager/upload/php/config.php

and point the var $Config['UserFilesPath'] to whatever you need,

Default:

$Config['UserFilesPath'] = '/weblog/media/' ;

Download

You can Download the plugin from Sourceforge Mirror or from here

Known Problems

• The plugin does not seem to work with Opera 9.00
• The plugin is not compatible with YouTube Plugin

Version 1.9.3 (Rainforest) of b2evolution

You must edit file inc/VIEW/items/_item_simple.form.php , to insert fckeditor onto the simple editor:

Around line 107 find that:

?>

<div class="left_col">

and change for this:

?>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/FCKeditor/fckeditor.js"></script>
<div class="left_col">

Now we must substitute the textarea from b2 with the textarea from fckeditor, just before ACTIONS section starts: Look for this:

</script>

<?php // ------------------------------- ACTIONS ----------------------------------^M
echo '<div class="edit_actions">';

and change with this code:

</script>

<script type="text/javascript">
 window.onload = function()
 {
   var oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor( 'itemform_post_content' ) ;
   oFCKeditor.ReplaceTextarea() ;
 }
</script>
<?php // ------------------------------- ACTIONS ----------------------------------^M
echo '<div class="edit_actions">';

I make a diff fopr this version, you can download it from here. To apply this you must do this from the directory inc/VIEW/items/:

$ patch -p0 < patch_b2evolution1_9_3_fckeditor.txt

And that's ALL !!! ;)

Version 0.8 of b2evolution

Next, edit admin/_edit_form-php of your b2evolution installlation : before line 13, insert

<script type="text/javascript" src="/FCKeditor/fckeditor.js"></script>

And before this line (approx. line 83)... that says :

<!-- ===================== START OF EDIT FORM ================ -->

insert :

<script type="text/javascript">
 window.onload = function()
 {
   var oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor( 'content' ) ;
   oFCKeditor.ReplaceTextarea() ;
 }
</script>

Then you must deactivate HTML Syntax on the file conf/_formatting.php:

$use_html_checker = 0;

Note that this could be a security bug ... read the docs at b2evolution page.
