Ok, I admit I overreacted slightly to the Rails bug and have now realised I was talking rubbish. So here is a release that works with 1.1.6 and plays well with everybody. It also updates the install code and moves the fckcustom.js config file out of the base fckeditor install directory. This means that you [...]
This release fixes the plugin for Rails 1.1.6. The fix is has been applied by overriding the new version of “safe_load_paths” in “routing.rb”.

These helpers also now include :height [...]

Both of the presentations were interesting, but it was the talk by Tom Armitage on ‘Ruby on Rails from the Other Side of the tracks’ that sparked my interests most. Although, I have to admit it wasn’t really the content on [...]
Following on from my experiences with FCKEditor and Rails, I decided to wrap the whole thing up as a plugin. This can be downloaded here or installed using the plugin install command, see this post It basically combines and extends the following pieces of work: Integrate FCKEditor with your Ruby on Rails application By Joshua [...]
We (Cominded) have been looking at various rich text editors to play with and I went through a few before eventually deciding that FCKEditor was worth a more detailed look (Others included TinyMCE which is available as a Rails plugin, but isn’t really upto FCK’s standards. It did have the advantage of being under the [...]
