Hi Jimmy,

That error usually occurs when a symbol is being used where a string is required. Could you post the form you are using?

Cheers
Scott

Just thought I’d say thanks Scott for the great plugin and also shamelessly plug the tag helper I posted today which should be useful when you need an FCKEditor that isn’t tied to a model.

Very nice work! I too had the ‘dup’ error. To make things work, all I had to do was use this as the line to load the actual javascript:

<%= javascript_include_tag "fckeditor/fckeditor.js" %>

Instead of the symbol. Thanks!

I am having problems getting the new version to install. Every time I try to install it, the plugin still works on my site, but it is still not working in Safari. Any ideas?

Hi, vincent, i have the same problem, then i do a #’gem update’ and works fine, im in Rails 2.0.1

Scott , yesterday i send you a comment because i found a problem in the implementation of the fck plugin in forms that have a namespaces models, like Admin::Post. and i send here a solution too.

Regards!

hi – thanks for this great plugin. i just modified the fckeditor_before_js method so that it would work with browsers that don’t support fckeditor in the first place (notably, safari 2).

you had on line 79 of fckeditor.rb

"var oEditor = FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance(‘"+id+"’); $(‘"+id+"_hidden’).value = oEditor.GetXHTML();"

which i changed to:

"try { var oEditor = FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance(‘"+id+"’); $(‘"+id+"_hidden’).value = oEditor.GetXHTML(); } catch(e) {$(‘#{id}_hidden’).value = $(‘#{id}’).value}"

thanks again!

Hi Scott, well…, i found a litle problem with the implementation of the fck in forms that have a :namespaces like Admin::blog model, because the action waits an "admin_blog['field']" and not a "blog['field']".But if i do
<%= fckeditor_textarea(‘admin_blog’, ‘contenido’, ….. I get an constant error, and only i could view the content (in the edit html.erb) if i do <%= fckeditor_textarea(‘blog’, ‘contenido’, … ; but then the field is not gone to saved. Then i change a litle bit the fckeditor.rb file, in ‘vendor/plugins/fckeditor/lib/.
near to the line 29 i declare a new ption variable.

namespace = options[:namespaces].nil? ? ” : options[:namespaces]

then , neat to the line 33 , in the options conditions i put the following condition:

elsif options[:namespaces] #preguntamos si tiene la opcion namespace
inputs = "#{value}\n"

with that now i can call the fck in my view with a new ption param ":namespace=>’admin’", something like this:

<%= fckeditor_textarea(‘blog’, ‘contenido’, :toolbarSet => ‘Basic’:namespaces=>’admin’) %>
.With this the html output of the fck editor textarea field is admin_blog['contenido'],and now the field of my model is saved.

i hope this can help, maybe is not the better solution; but it is what it is
regards!

I noticed that the helper fckeditor_textarea chokes on models with an underscore. e.g. i get an error like the one below. It’s looking for a class called Portfolio_company instead of the Rails convention of PortfolioCompany

expected ../portfolio_company.rb to define Portfolio_company
