Thanks to George Chatzigeorgiou there is now a version of the FCKeditor plugin that works with Rails 2.1. I have put the packages on Ruby Forge and updated the repository. If you are interested as to what the issue was check out George’s comments on the previous post.

Flash Upload is not working for me.
Hi, i’am using Rails 2.1 and your FCKEditor Plugin 0.5.1. If i try to upload a flash movie it fails with a javascript popup "Invalid file". On the console i can see an error: "application/x-shockwave-flash2-preview is invalid MIME type". The same error happens in your demo. But on this site it is working: http://www.fckeditor.net/demo
What is the problem with this MIME-Typ. If downloaded a few *.swf files an they all are reported as xxx-flash2-preview
Thank!
@Harald if you look in the fckeditor_controller at the top the mime type for flash is "application/x-shockwave-flash" I guess that needs expanding. But, for now you can just add your own mime types there.
Grr, i already tried that and it didn’t work. But now it is
. I guess i forgot to restart the server last time.
Thank you
Great work guys!
Just updated the plugin from 0.5.0 to 0.5.1 and I can now upload images to my rails 2.1 project.
Thanks for you time Scott and George..
Glad I could help.
You should thank Scott. He did all the work
Hi,
The plugin is really great but I’m wondering :
Is it possible to also delete files when you upload files? (like in the pro version of tinymce)
Thanks:)
The ‘Link File Upload’ does not work for me (Rails 2.1 / FCKEditor 0.5.1). The file is uploaded, but the dialogue seems not to get a proper response from the server. When clicking on "OK", a javascript popup says "Please type the link URL". There is no javascript / ruby error. Here’s the console output :

@Wouter : you can’t delete an uploaded file with FCKEditor. You need to use the <a href="http:://www.ckfinder.com/">CKFinder extension</a>. Unfortunatly, the server-side API is only implemented for PHP / ColdFusion / ASP.
I you do see a ruby/rails implementation, let me know…

Hi there, thanks for a great plugin. I have it all working nicely except I’m a bit stuck using it in form_for with nested resources. I have the following:
<code>
<% form_for([@client, @campaign], :html => { :multipart => true }) do |f| %>
…
<% @campaign.video_jams.each do |video| %>
<% fields_for "video_jams[#{video.id}]", video do |v| %>
<%= fckeditor_textarea("video", "body", :toolbarSet => "Basic", :width => "400px", :height => "200px") %>
<% end %>
<% end %>
…
<% end %>
</code>
in the editor call I currently have ‘video’ which makes the editor bar only appear for the first object in the loop. I know that ‘video’ is not the right thing to use.
Is this even possible? Any help much appreciated!
I’m allergic to SVN so I cloned the repo and placed it up on GitHub at this address…
http://github.com/bilson/fckeditor/tree/master
Great plugin!
Scott, if you want to get your own GitHub account, you can host public repos for free. In that case I’d be happy to take down my Github fckeditor repo to eliminate confusion.
Best Regards,
David Baldwin
@David, ok cool. When I get round to moving to GitHub I will let you know.
Great plug in, I really like it. I do however have one problem, I can not get the spell checker to work on my live server although it seems to work fine on my local machine. Even when their are deliberate mistakes a pop up appears saying spell check complete. I have upgraded from an earlier version of the plug in using subversion then the rake command to install it. can you suggest any reason for this? The problem server is running debian and the app is written in rails 2.0.2
Hi James, nothing springs to mind. I would start out by checking the aspell install on the debian box.
Nice one. Thanks a lot. I didn’t have aspell installed at all. I installed it and everything is working perfectly.
Hi James: Great thanks for your job, I started to use this plugin in my Rails project. One question: does the file/image upload work in your plug-in? What config should I make?
Thanks for putting this together! Big time saver.
As @Matt said above.. what a great time saver! Awesome!
Just one thing, when I want to insert a image, I get the "Unknown error creating folder" when clicking on the Find on the server button, so, my question is: IS this error common? there a forum or a guide to config the plugin ??
Cause your plugin make things very simples, but in mysterious ways
I am unable to connect to svn://rubyforge.org//var/svn/fckeditorp/trunk/fckeditor neither from command prompt, nor from svn client.
is the site down?
Great work on this plugin which I was already using, still I have found a small issue for Rails 1.2.x users just like me
It can be easily solved, that’s why I want to share. When installing the plugin, I receive the following error:
uninitialized constant ActionView::Helpers::SanitizeHelper
Patch the include in the fckeditor_controller as follow and the plugin will be 1.2.x AND 2.x compliant:
begin
include ActionView::Helpers::SanitizeHelper
rescue
include ActionView::Helpers::TextHelper
end
Hope this helps.
I have fckeditor plugins installed on my RoR application it works great my problem is on the show.rhtml it display the source code instead an image or the content.I want to see the image with context on http://localhost:3000/users/4 not the html source code

Body: <p><img alt="" style="width: 282px; height: 233px;" src="/uploads/Image/naruto.jpg" />test page</p> <p>I want to display the image and text on this page not the html source code</p>

<%= f.text_field :name %>
</p>
<p>
<%= f.label :body %><br />
<%= fckeditor_textarea("user", "body", :toolbarSet => ‘Simple’,
:width => ‘100%’, :height => ‘400px’) %>
</p>
<p>
<%= f.submit "Create" %>
</p>
<% end %>
Hi guys just ignore what I posted.I only forgot to remove the h on my show.rhtml.
I’m getting an Action Controller typeError of "can’t convert Hash into String" when I use
<%= javascript_include_tag :fckeditor %>
Does anyone know what might be causing this?
Any plans to upload a release for Rails 2.2.2?
I found that the following lines needed changing to use ActionController::Base.relative_url_root instead of request.relative_url_root:
ActionController::Base.relative_url_root
app/controllers/fckeditor_controller.rb
136| uploaded = request.relative_url_root.to_s+"#{UPLOADED}/#{params[:Type]}"
lib/fckeditor.rb
38| js_path = "#{request.relative_url_root}/javascripts"
Came right up and started working after these changes.
Hello Scott,
I am interested to know about the licensing information about FCk Editor Version 0.4.3.
I am using this in one of my application, please respond me with the license information , I was not able to get the information in readme file.
email:- raghavendra_shet@persistent.co.in
Dabla, thanks
There is an updated version for Rails 2.2.2 at http://github.com/gramos/easy-fckeditor/tree/master
Hi, first of all, congratulations and thanks a lot for this job.
I’m a new rails user… I install the plugin in my project but when i make a test, the follow error lines are shown:
(eval):1:in `fckeditor_element_id’: Called id for nil, which would mistakenly be 4 — if you really wanted the id of nil, use object_id
After install the plugin is needed something else to make it works.
Thank you for your help.
Well… now the editor try to appear in the site, but the following error appears:<br><pre>No route matches "(path/edited)/public/javascripts/fckeditor/editor/fckeditor.html" with {:method=>:get}</pre>
Hi
when I want to insert a image, I get the "Unknown error creating folder"
any solution to fix this problem?
For those getting the "Unknown error creating folder" problem, I found a fix in this post: http://davidebenini.it/2009/03/23/patches-for-the-easy-fckeditor-rails-plugin/
I am using Rails 2.3.2 and doing the following worked for me.
In the supporting Ruby code in the fckeditor plugin directory, change all occurrences of ‘request.relative_url_root’ with ‘ActionController::Base.relative_url_root’. There are only two of that I know:
vendor/plugins/fckeditor/lib/fckeditor.rb – line 38
vendor/plugins/fckeditor/app/controllers/fckeditor_controller.rb – line 136
Making this change fixed the problem for me.
okay, i used bill d’s fixes, and everything worked GREAT! after a few hours, it stopped working altogether..
this is the error (from firebug) that i am getting..
uncaught exception: Access to restricted URI denied (NS_ERROR_DOM_BAD_URI)
[Break on this error] oXmlHttp.open( "GET", urlToCall, bAsync ) ;
has anyone else dealt with this?
thanks!
I also found & fixed those as follow:
In fckeditor.rb (line 38):
js_path = "#{request.class.respond_to?(:relative_url_root) ? request.relative_url_root : ActionController::Base.relative_url_root}/javascripts"
In fckeditor_controller.rb (line 136):
uploaded = "#{(request.class.respond_to?(:relative_url_root) ? request.relative_url_root : ActionController::Base.relative_url_root)}#{UPLOADED}/#{params[:Type]}"
