Why fckedit instead of htmlarea?

The release 1.6 is going to be unsupported by Community. Because our effort moves ahead. However there are still valuable informations for you.

Why fckedit instead of htmlarea?

Post by andris »

In new Test Link, fckedit test case editor does not allow different indentation levels for lists and horizontal rulers, full screen editor has gone. But the main loss is that tag edit is gone so I cannot paste pages with JS and VBS I used to do before. So I have to write some wiki-like page to edit test cases old way. Why this change was made?

HTMLarea is not GPL and the latest version is payed.
FCKeditor is promissing and active project with correct license.

Installing plugin

Post by WesleyChilds »

Hi,

I\\\'ve followed most of the instructions and can\\\'t see to get the plugin working. I think its going wrong on step 4 of the readme file which comes supplied...

\\\"4. If you don\\\'t use the default configuration in the fckconfig.js, but change
the config while creating the original instance (e.g. in PHP or ASP), you need
to change the fullwindow.html file. Change the items in the loadConfig array to define which config items should be loaded from the original instance and copied in the fullwindow instance.\\\"

I\\\'m not sure what items to define to load or maybe you don\\\'t have to do this at all?

If anyone has any advice that would be great.

Thanks

Maybe this question could be better answered in FCKEditor forum. We only use this component, but we had not a time to detailed analyse yet.
