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.

Simply add something like :width => ‘400’, :height => ‘200’ to the fckeditor_textarea call and you should get the editor appearing as expected. Obviously you can change the dimensions to suite your needs.

The solution also explains why I never saw the issue – I have always had the dimensions specified……

<% fckeditor_remote_form_for :note,
                             :url => @options.merge(:controller => 'notes'),
                             :editors => { :note => ['text'] } do |f| %>
  <%= fckeditor_textarea( "note", "text", :ajax => true )
<% end %>

You still need to use the original fckeditor_textarea call as as of yet there is no f.fckeditor_textarea method.

I am currently trying to add a check for IsDirty to prevent accidental unloading of the editor and also looking at using the FCKeditor_IsCompatibleBrowser() function to degrade gracefully.

N.B If you are upgrading you will need to delete the public/javascripts/fckeditor directory before reinstalling…

If you already have the plugin installed you will need to move the rename the fckcustom.js file in /public to something else, resinstall the plugin and then copy any changes you made in the config over. Then while you have the fckcustom.js file open simply change this line:

FCKRelativePath = '';

to suit your needs.

For example if your app is hosted at:

http://www.mydomain.com/myapp

Then this line should read:

FCKRelativePath = '/myapp';

And that (hopefully) should be that…….

This should now all work……..

As before you can get the plugin using:

ruby script/plugin install svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/fckeditorp/trunk/fckeditor

There is also a demo

There are a couple of other changes to do with the install and version numbers, but that is all internal to the plugin.

demo

This version fixes a problem with having multiple editors open at once on the same page and also adds a helper to allow multiple editors on the same Ajax form. This also now works with static html forms but you can just use the standard form helpers for that.

To create an ajax form using multiple editors use the fckeditor_form_remote_tag helper and pass the :editors option. This takes an hash of model symbol keys with each having an array as its value. The array should contain the list of fields that will have editors attached to them.

<%= fckeditor_form_remote_tag :url => some_great_url,
     :editors => { :multinote => ['text1', 'text2'] } %>

    <%= fckeditor_textarea( "multinote", "text1", :ajax => true ) %>
    <%= fckeditor_textarea( "multinote", "text2", :ajax => true ) %>

<%= end_form_tag %>

You can of course use the same helper for a single editor or for static html forms as it is a bit neater than having to declare the :before javascript method yourself.

If you already have this plugin installed you can upgrade by just deleting the existing install and getting it again. If you have altered the fckcustom.js file then you will need to add:

FCKConfig.SpellChecker = 'SpellerPages';

to it . If not just delete that too before reinstalling. You also need to be sure that ASpell is installed along with any dictionaries you want to use (If you are on windows check the README for the expected install directory).

Basically we (well he, I just extended it a bit) added the following to init.rb to add the required routes on startup:

# add a route for spellcheck
class ActionController::Routing::RouteSet
  alias draw_without_spelling draw
  def draw_with_spelling
    draw_without_spelling do |map|
      map.connect 'fckeditor/check_spelling', :controller => 'fckeditor', :action => 'check_spelling'
      map.connect 'fckeditor/command', :controller => 'fckeditor', :action => 'command'
      map.connect 'fckeditor/upload', :controller => 'fckeditor', :action => 'upload'
      yield map
    end
  end
  alias draw draw_with_spelling
end

The Flash upload should now also be working. It is worth noting that images are now uploaded to uploads/Image and flash movies to uploads/Flash. This means that you will need to either copy any existing images to the Image dir (so all existing posts continue to work) or move them (which’ll break any existing uses).

There is still an issue with the refreshing of the resource manager after a file upload from within it, but the upload does function.

Oh, and the extra #{value} has been removed thanks to x0n for pointing that out.

There is also an updated demo.
