The Joomla! Forum ™

Hello

thanks for sharing your work; may i suggest few more options for this editor?

1. option to move images/files between folders
2. restrict access to folders using default Joomla group access or JACL. I use Joomla for my company intranet and i need some restrictions for folders

Thank you

Hi,

Is it possible, to integrate this editor into Fireboard? I have an installation guide fro TinyMCE and it should be possible to use JoomlaFCK2 instead. I would love to have an editor with only a few features in one line (but with a good image/ file uploader) in the forum.

Thanks a lot, best wishes, Eric

joomlafck2 is now called JCK to remove confusion between this project and JoomlaFCK.

I have also just released version 1.1.0:

* Based on FCKeditor 2.6 Beta 1
* Fixed Image Manager plugin to work when short PHP tags is turned off
* Fixed Joomla content linker to include a default Itemid to stop access denied message on links created
* Now detects https:// logins

Could you please explain or outline what are the differences between JoomlaFCKeditor and your development branch? I tried to read about it and wanted to compare their featuress... not easy to get an overview IMHO. Could you help out?

(BTW, i asked for this some time ago – what about a seperate FCK Forum on your own website?)
TIA!!!

JCK differences from latest JoomlaFCK:

1) JoomlaFCK is based on FCKeditor 2.5, JCK is based on FCKeditor 2.6beta which has better dialogs and some new features
2) JCK has in Image Manager plugin built in that allows image preview, resizing, cropping, renaming etc.
3) JCK has a Joomla Content Item linker plugin dialog that allows you to easily create links to Joomla content
5) JCK allows user defined templates to be specified without editing files
6) JCK allows toolbar to be configured without editing files
7) JCK has many more configuration options to control the FCKeditor without editing files

We are considering creating a forum, will post here if we get one going.

Does anyone know of any cool plugins or bots for JCK?

Also I was wondering if anyone got this working with like docman?

Hi konung,

I have created a DOCMan-Link plugin for JCK (well, I haven't actually tested it with JCK yet, but it works with the last version of joomlafck2...) which is based on the DOCLink mambot. However, it's not really 'release-worthy', in the sense that it's not configurable at all, and hasn't been tested anywhere other than the specific environment I made it for... For this reason, I haven't posted it anywhere for download, but I'm happy to e-mail it to you if you PM me.

That said, it'll *probably* work in most, if not all, environments, and you're welcome to try it if you're inclined. It requires manual installation, including ftp and adding a line or two to some core JCK files, but nothing extravagant.

I've also made a version which allows uploading to DOCMan directly from the JCK editor, but this is subject to the same caveats mentioned above, except even more so... I wouldn't want to swear it's 100% secure, either...

Anyway, you're welcome to them if you want them - they work great on my site and my users are very happy with them.

Ta!

Simon

Need help with config to image directory outside the joomla path. I have joomla installed on http://mydomain/joomla/, and want the FCK to use my G2 directory http://mydomain/g2data/albums/username/.

I tried to configure /joomla/mambots/editors/jck/editor/filemanager/connectors/php/config.php but was unsuccessful.

I even tried hardcode the path:
$Config['UserFilesPath'] = '/g2data/albums/';
$Config['UserFilesAbsolutePath'] = '/usr/home/myhtdocs/g2data/albums/';


UPDATE: SOLVED.

1st, I created a symbolic link to my gallery in joomla/images. Because gallery does not allow direct web access to it's directories for security.

ln -s /usr/home/myhtdocs/g2data/albums/ /usr/home/myhtdocs/joomla/images/albums

Then, edited config.php in filemanager.

$Config['UserFilesPath'] = @$exp_url["path"] . '/images/albums/' . $my->username;
$Config['UserFilesAbsolutePath'] = $mosConfig_absolute_path . '/images/albums/' . $my->username;

Also edited config.inc.php in ImageManager.

$image_rel_path = '';

Finally, set mambot path settings to '/' on file, image, and flash path.

can i create more prototypes i mean pregormated html style except the 3 that the editor have?

Hello Nick...

Although I would love to offer kudos upon your efforts, I have yet been able to test drive your editor. I have installed JCK 1.1.0, saved the defaults in the back-end, and selected the editor in my profile. Upon opening the editor (either in the back or front) I get a 500 Internal Server Error reported from IE7. Although the file it seems to be choking on is fck_editorarea.css, I have done test calls with other files and it gives the same error. (see attachment). I noticed others have posted similar comments, but I have not seen a fix or work-around posted. I may have just missed it.

If you find time, could you please review my issue? I would very much appreciate your input, as I am at a loss to the cause or solution and am looking forward to seeing this editor in action. According to the reviews, you seem to have created something quite special.

Thanks

================================================================
UPDATE: FIX?? Working for me...
================================================================
After posting this issue, I decided to go to my host (BlueHost) and see if my PHP Configuration may be at issue. Interestingly, after switching the PHP file handler to mod_fastcgi instead of mod_suphp, the 500 Internal Server Error no longer appears and the editor loads normally. I can now test drive the editor in my test space. Sorry for posting a non-JCK issue. Hopefully this may help someone else with the same problem.

Hey everyone,

First off, JCK2 is brilliant! I absolutely love the image manager! I have a question though. I want my users to be restricted in the content they submit. I really like the templates option but is there any way to force a specific template to show up right away, ie. the user doesn't have to select one, there's already a template in the wysiwig block when the page loads up. I want all my users' content to be uniform, hence restricting them to one template. Not all people are savvy enough to realise they must select an option from a menu.

Is this possible?

Thanks!
Karen

Hello...

A couple of posts back I wrote of an issue with a 500 Internal Server Error. I reported in an update that changing the way my PHP files were handled seemed to solve the issue. Well, it did... sort of. After getting back into the Joomla backend, I was warned that Register Globals was now turned "ON". It seems using the mod_fastcgi handler turns this on in the php.ini file. Not good, as this is a pretty severe security risk. The question I have is, is JCK cabable of running under Register Globals = OFF? If so, does anyone know what other PHP configuration settings are set by switching to mod_fastcgi that allowed my server error with JCK to go away?

By the way... those of you considering this extension will not be dissapointed. Although not as deep as JCE, it is far and away the best editor. The image manager is in a class (pun intended) by itself.

Thanks,
esjabe

Hi there,

Can anyone tell me how to limit the amount of characters that can be inserted in the introtext and fulltext fields in the JCK editor? I know it might sound silly but I want to keep my website uniform so anyone adding text will stick to the model laid out.

Is this possible using Javascript implemented into the core files? Can anyone help me with the hack?


Thanks!
Karen

updated to 110, same thing

why would it think the script was coming from a different domain?

Hi Simon, I would greatly appreciate a copy of your work on the DOCLink mambot for use with FCK2/JCK. I've been working on JCK myself and have enhanced it to provide a private folder facility for uploaded images/flash/files etc based on adding the logged-in user id to the folder paths at initialisation time. I've been using mosCE to date (for several years in fact) mainly because of its Image manager, but now I'm in the process of switching to JCK. I need a DOCLink mambot for a current project so would be happy to share any further progress I make with it. My email (for attachments) is jdlmarsh@hotmail.com. Thanks in advance for your help. Cheers John

Hi esjabe,

I experienced this error too, and eventually resolved it via changing the file permissions. I discovered that several of the editor files need execute access (at least that's true on some hosting services). The brute-force approach is to set execute access on ALL the JCK files. Doing that solved the problem without having to get my hosting provider to make any changes.

Cheers John

I've noted a relatively minor bug with JCK when using it with IE - if you try to assign a link to an image, the Insert/Edit Link popup hangs. This doesn't happen in Firefox. Don't know if it's a known error. Anyone know of a workaround?

Hi there, Great editor - I think the best available for Joomla! I'm using the new JCK.

Question: Is there any way you could include a function for background images within table cells in a future release? I know I can just add-in the raw html, but a 'Browse' facility in 'Cell Properties' would be great.

Regards,
Russ

I've mod'd the DOCLink mambot to work with JCK. It only needs one mod (to make it aware of JCK) and one small new javascript file (to fire the dialog and update the edit area afterwards). What I've done is very basic but it works and it would be easy to edit for fck2 (just adjust the names). Anyone wants a copy of the files - PM me with their email address.

Also, has anyone made JCK work with Opera in Windows? Doesn't work for me - just get a textarea. But it DOES work with Safari (as well as IE & Firefox).

Cheers John

Hi, I have read all the wonderful reviews you have received, and I am wondering if you are going to port your editor to Joomla 1.5 natively...
just tell me if you are going to begin in the near future, thanks!

Simon the doclink that you have modified did you test it with bot_jck_111

JCK 1.1.1 was released only 2 days ago, so not very likely, but I tried Simon's files with JCK 1.1.0 and couldn;t get them to work (his implementation was for one of the earlier fck2 versions). So I went back to the original DOCLink mambot from the DOCMan team and modified that to work with JCK. It was quite easy (see my post of a few days ago). The only issue is that I din't have time to work out whether it's possible for a mambot (DOCLink is a Joomla! mambot rather than a JCK plugin) to add its icon into the JCK toolbar. So I made it add a button at the bottom of the editor area (where the mospage break & mosimage buttons are displayed). But other than that cosmetic issue, it works fine and doesn't change the main code of DOCLink at all - it just adds JCK to the list of other editors that DOCLink knows about). PM me with your email address if you'd like a copy of the files (only two files, one mod'd and one new).

Yes that will be create i really need that for web site

I need 5 post to use the pm that is not really practical to use but I guest
it take least for the web server that way.

I installed the plugin without problems but when i try to use the editor I only get a blank space.

I have tried in bot I.E and Firefox and get the same result. Any idea why?

Most likely it's your template. I had the same problem with one particular template. The author of JCK recommends putting in your template CSS file. But even doing that is sometimes not enough in some situations. I think the problem happens when there isn't enough width for the JCK toolbar icons to display. If you can't get it to work with the above CSS mod, try looking at the page source in your browser at what divs, tables etc are containing the editor textarea and edit your CSS file to force more width.

Cheers John

When you are not login in site web the editor do not show up the first time but if in the page there
are a second it will show the editor. It may be a bug? You should try to log.

I really want to get the new version of this, but the download function doesn't seem to be working. I don't know why that would be but I thought I would mention it.

I really like the old version and am excited to try the new one.
