Update FCK editor

Is it possible to upgrade the FCK editor to the latest release. There are so many bugs fixed and features added. I did it manually myself and it's very easy to do.

I noticed the latest Beta release (2.6) is out, and has some interesting features and improvements. Previous releases after 2.3.2 did not offer a compelling reason to update, but I haven't had time to evaluate this release. I generally recommend against using Beta releases of FCKeditor, but hope to test this and include the final release at some point in the future - just not sure when.

I'm using the 2.5.1. on my Ravennuke site right now and there are some improvements made, lot of fixes for Firefox.

One of the nice features is to manual assing <br> and <p> to the enter or shift-enter key.

I'll take a look as soon as I get a chance.

Looked into this a little yesterday, and 2.6 is definitely a release to consider for upgrading nukeWYSIWYG - once it's out of Beta.

Comparing the versions after 2.3.2 (current version used in nukeWYSIWYG and RavenNuke), some functionality will be removed (namely, the universal keyboard - which I believe might be helpful for Arabic and multi-byte languages). But the benefits - mostly in 2.6 - are pretty significant.

Just ran into issues this week with a client who is a 100% Mac shop and all use Safari... he's not able to see the editor. Supposedly above 2.4.x has Safari support. How difficult would it be for me to upgrade this? Is there any that I should especially watch out for?

Yep. And it's ready for testing on nukeSEO. Check out the Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login!.

Thanks to montego, we made some additional configuration changes and its working even better now. We're still dealing with issues uploading to the correct location on Linux and Windows. Linux works consistently; Windows - not so much.
