Encyclopedia also works. Preferences "footer" does not.

dad7732, PM sent with link to nukeWYSIWYG 2.6 (hasn't been released yet). There are some changes to mainfile.php, as well as a new directory (so you won't need to remove the current includes/FCKeditor as long as you are on Linux).

After loading, you'll need to clear your browser cache since the css and js are cached.

kguske - not sure if this might be relevant or not but.....
When using Submit News as a user in V2.6 I do see this error in CSS
Error parsing value for property 'height' in
thesite.com/includes/fckeditor/editor/fckeditor.html?InstanceName="story&Toolbar=NukeUser

Here is the source

Code:

// Save a reference to the default domain.
var FCK_ORIGINAL_DOMAIN ;

// Automatically detect the correct document.domain (#123).
(function()
{
var d = FCK_ORIGINAL_DOMAIN = document.domain ;

while ( true )
{
   // Test if we can access a parent property.
   try
   {
      var test = window.parent.document.domain ;
      break ;
   }
   catch( e ) {}

   // Remove a domain part:

=> mytest.example.com => example.com ...
   d = d.replace( /.*?(?:\.|$)/, '' ) ;

   if ( d.length == 0 )
      break ;    // It was not able to detect the domain.

   try
   {
      document.domain = d ;
   }
   catch (e)
   {
      break ;
   }
}
})() ;

I'm wondering if 'height' is being thrown out dannys case for the textarea.

He isn't using 2.6 - yet. Did you mean 2.3.2?

One of the errors I see in the error console relates to "height" and in the css itself on the error line is _height. Above that line is "height".

Actually on FreeBSD if that makes any difference, don't think so.

The more I look, the more I think FreeBSD is the issue. FCKeditor 2.6 has the same issue and more...

Well, can't do anything about that one but I can still use the editor using IE mode in Firefox with the IE tab extension.

Cheers

I'm narrowing it down. There is something about how the editor is initialized - probably a path issue...

kguske · Site Admin Joined: Jun 04, 2004 Posts: 4853

Found it... what a PAIN! It WAS a path issue, but not what I expected. Not sure why it isn't working, but I know how to fix it.

I had to move the directory from /includes/fckeditor to /fckeditor (and, of course, modify mainfile and /fckeditor/editor/filemanager/connectors/php/config.php accordingly). It now has 2.6, too.

What a learning experience !!! Hope this will help others as well ....

Also, FWIW, I was checking the error log and noticed that my Apache Mod_Spel was correcting /boxover/ to /boxover1/ .. significant? dunno, you'd know that.

Thanks, Jay

Just checked and it works!! Couple of questions:

1. How to get this fix to other domains

2. Was this unique to just my installation or what

3. Are you going to package an additional installer for this

I can't even begin to express my gratitude, just happy to be able to oblige with access to a site where you could do all the testing at your leisure. I'll leave it there as-is and you're welcomed to use it for whatever purpose you deem necessary.

Cheers, Jay

I renamed boxover.js to eliminate conflicts. It's back now. I can create a download for installing it on other domains, and that might end up being the released version.

I'm not exactly sure why it doesn't work on FreeBSD (neither FF nor IE), but does on Linux and Windows (though we've seen similar issues on Windows, and this might explain it). I'll do some checking to see if we should make this the standard installation.

Thanks for the offer to use this as a test site - I'll probably take you up on that if I find an alternative that lets us keep the directory under includes. I'll keep you posted of any future access.

It does work on IE and also any FF sourced application with the IE Tab extension on XP-Pro here on more than one machine.

The installer sounds like a plan. Can this be made into a standalone installer as well as the standard included in the RN version packages? I would imagine so as long as it's cross-platform.

Oh, no problem with maintaining the test site, glad to be of service. Whatever it takes for the rest of the community.

Cheers
