FCKeditor Demo
December 28th, 2006
I have been asked a few times for the code for the FCKeditor demo. So I thought I would put it up here for anyone to download, and by here I mean here.
The tar includes the fckeditor plugin, the ajax scaffold plugin and the bits to get them working together. You will need to create a db and update the config files though.
November 25th, 2007 at 11:18 PM Just installed and tried the plugin - works brilliantly - thanks very much!
November 25th, 2007 at 11:18 PM Hi TP, glad you find it useful. Cheers Scott.
November 25th, 2007 at 11:18 PM I'm getting a 403 error when I try to upload an image. I narrowed it down into the check_file method, when it checks whether the file is a Tempfile it comes back as StringIO instead. Any ideas as to why or how to fix it? Thanks!
November 25th, 2007 at 11:18 PM In case anyone else is running into this 403 error problem, I did a quick workaround and it seems fine, don't know if it will break anything though. If you go into the plugin and edit the file app/controllers/fckeditor_controller.rb you can change the following line: unless "#{file.class}" == "Tempfile" to: unless "#{file.class}" == "Tempfile" || "#{file.class}" == "StringIO" That fixed things for me anyway. -Chris
November 25th, 2007 at 11:18 PM Cheers for that Chris. I will make some time soon to have a look at this again and copy your fix in if there are no other issues. Scott.
November 25th, 2007 at 11:18 PM Hi Scott, first of all *many* thanks for the plugin. I have one question: in the *fckeditor_element_id* method you specify the ID of the textarea as:
"#{object}_#{id}_#{field}_editor"which gets to controller as: *modelname_1_columnname_editor => "Content"* parameter. The "regular" (scaffolded) textarea comes as *modelname => {columnnme => "Content"}*, on the other side. I have changed the fckeditor_element_id and fckeditor_div_id methods to return *"#{object}[#{field}]"*, so there is no need to change controller logic when dealing with form data. May I ask you why you have constructed the said methods in such manner, so I understand your thinking behind the code? Once again thanks! KarelNovember 25th, 2007 at 11:18 PM HI Karel, I can think of / remember no good reason why I did it that way....... Now you bring it up it seems a little foolish. Anyway the project is undergoing a bit of a facelift soon, with all the feedback I have recieved being fed back in, so I will look at this too. Cheers Scott.
November 25th, 2007 at 11:18 PM Hi Scott, this way it would probably make more sense in traditional progress of the application, building from the scaffolded code up and cleaning it -- as far as I, being a noobie, can see. =) Thanks and cheers, Karel
November 25th, 2007 at 11:18 PM Hi, I've downloaded your demo and I'm trying it, and when I click on the "create new" link (note or multinote), I get: "RJS error: TypeError: element has no properties" in an alert window. And when I press ok, I get another alert window with a couple of code lines: "new Insertion.Top(note-tbody, .... " but it goes right on! What am I doing wrong?
November 25th, 2007 at 11:18 PM When I installed your FCKeditor plugin, I seem to have 3 distinct (and apparently complete) copies of the fckeditor libraries: one in public/javascripts/fckeditor/, one in public/plugin_assets/fckeditor/javascripts/fckeditor, and one in vendor/plugins/fckeditor/public/javascripts/fckeditor The downloadable demo shows 2 copies of all the libraries (it doesn’t have the copy in public/plugin_assets, presumably because it doesn’t use engines). Can you please give me some idea of what’s up? Also, I see MVC stuff in vendor/plugins/fckeditor/app/* How does that work? especially the stuff in app/views/fckeditor? I thought one had to use engines or appable_plugins to get view code to be visible from a plugin. (All my questions started when I tried to move some code I had that uses your fckeditor plugin into a plugin of my own. I didn’t do some step correctly and was getting errors about not finding my custom ToolSet. This all works great on my original application, but I am a bit surprised at what I am finding when I try to use it in the new context.)
November 25th, 2007 at 11:18 PM Hi cnk, I doubt that this plays well with engines, but I have never tried it. As far as getting the view code seen its just a question of setting the paths up right, you should be able to see how that is done in init.rb. Cheers Scott.
November 25th, 2007 at 11:18 PM Scott. Actually I did get this to work in an engines environment - though I think that the extra copy in public/plugin_assets/fckeditor/javascripts/fckeditor was being ignored. Oh and I see what you mean about routes being dynamically added when the fckeditor plugin is initialized at server startup. Very clever. Although, I'll have to admit that if I were trying to debug a routing conflict, I would never think to look for routes within my installed plugins.
November 25th, 2007 at 11:18 PM hi i use the "fck editor" in my rubyonrails application. in my application there is a small problem. please solve this how to display the data in fckeditor without html tags. the data in fck editor also stores in database as html tags. i want the data display in text format how to convert the html format to text format in rubyonrails.
