[edit] Problem while Inserting an image

Hi, first thank you for FCKeditor, it's a very usefull tool that makes editing wiki very easier. I have a small problem, when I insert an image, it does not insert it at the cursor, but at the top of the text.  Do you know what can I do, because I cannot reproduce this problem in this wiki.....  Thank you

[edit] Has Problems with Semantic MediaWiki

This is a very nice extension, but it doesn't work with the Semantic MediaWiki extension. Semantic MediaWiki enhances links. Also, there's som e extra part with information with Semantic Mediawiki (facts about...); this occurs in the text. It would be nice, if this extension could handle this stuff. --Hans Oesterholt-Dijkema

[edit] Works with Semantic MediaWiki 1.4.1 and FCKeditor 2.6.4

This now works for me with Semantic MediaWiki (Version 1.4.1) and FCKeditor (Version fckeditor/mw-extension $Rev$ 2008). however when I switched to the latest version of Semantic MediaWiki (1.4.2), the editor removes the semantic markup. -- Kevin McIsaac

[edit] After Installation just Blank Edit Page

After Installation (adding the require_once statement to LocalSettings.php) only a blank page appears, if the edit button is pressed!? --<a href="User:91.4.96.18">91.4.96.18</a> 13:36, 13 March 2008 (CET)

Fixed

  • OK, the problem was ServerName of Apache. I'm running webservers behing a proxy and fckeditor uses full servername to display the page. You can do two things:
    • Specify you FQDN in apache: ServerName wiki.example.net
    • Force URL with wgServer setting in LocalSettings.php: $wgServer<--->= "http://wiki.example.net";

[edit] This extension should be put into a edit tab!

Although this is a very nice extension, it isn't stable enough to be used without the user choosing to do so. Instead of having all users to document their default behaviour in their user preferences, they should be able to choose on a page if they want to use the Rich editor or the WikiText editor. -- <a href="User:80.127.15.33">80.127.15.33</a> 21:02, 17 December 2007 (CET)

As a user experience designer I can't agree to this. Multypling tabs on unwaited features will just lost newbee users. Being able to disable the FCK editor with a button with other fck editor button is a good way.

[edit] Save/cancel button in the toolbars

This extension should have a save and cancel button in the toolbar!


<img src="/images/thumb/8/87/A10aaa.jpg/200px-A10aaa.jpg" _fck_mw_filename="A10aaa.jpg" _fck_mw_location="center" _fck_mw_width="200" alt="test" class="fck_mw_center" />

[edit] Simply Awesome!

However, we seem to be missing some functionality we had before the switch from MediaWiki to MediaWiki+FCKEditor.

  • Sign a comment
  • Spell Checker (we used a ASpell plugin, which crudely added a "Spell Check" text on our form.

Apart from this, things are working REALLY well, users are very happy, and discovering cool stuff every day "hey, I can use keyboard shortcuts".  Many Thanks.,  If anyone has a simple solution to add a signature button and a Spell Checker to the editor toolstrip, I would be happy to see it :-)

Lastly, is there a changelog for SVN? 



I noticed the version has bumped, how can I tell what's changed?

[edit] Can't Use Plugins or Extensions?

Our wiki has a lot of plugins and rss feeds. I can't get them to work. Examples:

<flickr tag="life" count="5"></flickr>

<rss file="<a href="http://del.icio.us/rss/tag/life">[n]</a>" items="5" date="true" author="true"></rss>

< rs''s>te's't</i>< <i>rs'</b>s<b><i><b>></b></span>'<b></i></span><b></span></b></b></span><p><p><p></p><p>Where can I add code to "escape" such things so they work? Thanks.  </p> </p> </p> </p>

Answer: FCKeditor extension should be now able to handle other extensions without any extra stuff (http://dev.fckeditor.net/ticket/2432).

[edit] Changing Mediawiki Skins

When I try and change skins at my wiki the pages look fine until I try to edit a page.  Then I get an error that says "Fatal error: Cannot access protected property SkinStandard::$skinname in /home/udiy/public_html/extensions/FCKeditor/FCKeditor.body.php on line 166".  I looked at that file, and that line doesn't een exist.  Any suggestions? </p><p>  You can diagnose the error for yourself at my wiki: http://www.udiy.org

Fixed

[edit]

[edit] Is there a syntax for the editor ignoring to format special code?

Would need that for syntax highlighting. The problem is the editor is changing for example <source> into the &lt;source&gt; and then I can't use highlighting. I would like to second this.  Any <> type of tags break.   I'm interested in <source>, <pre>, <tex> (what I have instead of <math>) and <poll>.  Anyone know of a manual fix I can apply?

[edit] TagCorrection Extension Does Solve the More General Problem

Johannes Perl contributed an extension that corrects corrupted tags when the page is saved. The extension came to my attention elsewhere on this talk page.

capsiplex ilahiler video izle video izle film izle kozmodisk yemek tarifleri karantina vize işlemleri oto kiralama article area gayisi.com mp3 dinle pütürge

[edit] Bug: MediaWiki 1.16

capsiplex ilahiler video izle video izle film izle kozmodisk yemek tarifleri karantina vize işlemleri oto kiralama article area gayisi.com mp3 dinle pütürge Does not work in MediaWiki 1.16

or Media Wiki 1.14.0


[edit] Answer

Works with 1.14.0 (the latest stable version of MediaWiki).

[edit] Bug: wiki table headers overwritten

  • Editing a wiki table that has a header (!) in FCKeditor and saving it just overwrite the header and changes it back to a normal cell.
  • FCKeditor could support adding headers to tables (<th>)

Fixed

[edit] Bug: image resize don't work

  • When you insert an image and resize it the new size is not saved. When you see the article the size is the original.
  • Having exactly the same trouble with images. Any suggestions???

[edit] Answer

http://dev.fckeditor.net/ticket/2353 (partially solved)

[edit] Bug: Switching to Wikitext remove the internal link tag and changed it to bold

When you have a link to an internal document such as this Main_Page, switching to Wikitext and back to WYSIWYG will remove the [[ ]] tag and replace it with bold markup. You can try for yourself now. 

[edit] Bug: Enabling "Show preview on first edit" screws up the whole page

By enabling "Show preview on first edit", once the page is saved, it produces a conflict and converts the current (your) text into HTML tags where all the < > tags are displayed (the code behind is &lt; and &gt;). 

Fixed: http://dev.fckeditor.net/ticket/2432

[edit] TagCorrection Extension May Help Here

Johannes Perl has contributed an extension to the FCKEditor that corrects the corrupted tags when the page is saved. It probably is possible to add a hook to that extension so that the correction also is made on the 'submit' action.

The extension came to my attention elsewhere on this talk page.

[edit] Enhancement: adding classes to tables

In the table "edit properties" menu, it would be nice to:

  • be able to set the class(es) for a table
  • have a checkbox for inactivating width, cellspacing and cellpadding options if we enter a class

For instance, the "sortable" class is very popular/useful for instance under MW, see below:

title 1 title 2
a 2
b 1

[edit] Enhancement: Image preview

When selecting an image in the search box, would it be possible to get a preview of it, like in CKfinder ?

[edit] Enhancement: Switch off the WYSIWYG

Because of the special treatment of the code the editor use it's change the code you use when you edit in plain text. There might be a way to disable the feature or some code that makes a part of the text untouchable by the editor. For example, something like: 

<nowysiwyg><br>some code that won't be changed<br></nowysiwyg><br>

For example, for putting code in <pre></pre> or for puting <input>s  tags

I remember an older implementation (which was not so fine like this)  but they had a magic-word _USE_EDITOR_ to switch the FCKedtior on/off on a per-Article Basis. Since behavour of FCK in tags, images, tables is sometimes strange, it would be nice to have such a Feature. --<a href="User:193.171.50.242">193.171.50.242</a> 14:19, 29 August 2007 (CEST)

[edit] Enhancement: Button for signature

Adding a signature should also be made easier, for example by addinga button for doing so. 

I will add my voice to the request for a signature button.  If we want users to sign their contributions in talk pages, they need to have a signature button!  And, FCKeditor should be able to show what the signature will look like, at least the static (non-time) part of it. --Lsloan 22:01, 12 January 2009 (CET)

[edit] Done

[edit] Enhancement: Manual Link Entry [ ]

[edit] Request

Nice editor. Please add manual link entry. <a href="User:Testuser">Testuser</a> 18:32, 29 July 2007 (CEST)

[edit] Anwer

You can already do that, when adding a link, just enter any entry you want into the "Link" box, and click "ok" instead of picking up one of the searches.

[edit] Pasting tables from excel

Using the fckeditor demo <a href="http://www.fckeditor.net/demo/">[n]</a> when pasting tables from excel you see the gridlines.  Unfortunately, I don't see that when using this (with ie 6).  That's be a nice feature to have.

[edit] Editing existing articles that have thumbnails

This is a great implementation! One bug: When editing an existing article that has thumbnails, when the article is saved, the images are saved at full size, instead of the thumbs. --<a href="User:Tderouin">Tderouin</a> 21:49, 3 August 2007 (CEST)

On this page here, that is working, at my installation i have this bug too, did you fix it here? --<a href="User:Dckreisel">DCkreisel</a>

This should work fine in the latest release. 

[edit] Is the option "Paste from Word" lost in this version?

This option is really usefull in the standard FCK Editor and, even if having Wikitext is a big temptation, when you have most of your documentation in Word, it can discourage you in the upgrade to this version...
Incredible job, in any case :-) !!
Bosqui
I agree this is a very useful option. Any plans on adding this back in? 

I also agree - It would definitely make it a ton better. --<a href="User:N0ctrnl">N0ctrnl</a> 15:51, 24 March 2008 (CET)


Just putting in another vote to re-enable the paste word.  This will open up a larger non-tech user base with massive amounts of word docs.  Nice work! Thanks!

Yes, it would be great, I miss that feature also (even if I hate Word)

I also hate Word, but many users of a wiki I support have documents written with it. If FCKeditor for MW could support pasting of Word documents, that would be a tremendous help in getting people to accept the wiki in my organization. In addition, let me echo an earlier statement that it should support pasting of Excel spreadsheets, too. --Lsloan 21:58, 12 January 2009 (CET)

I agree, lot of our users have word documents, and this option in MW is a "must have". Walter 13 May 2009

Using MediaWiki and FCKEditor here too, and yes we would really really really really really really really like to have the paste from word option returned to fckeditor. GX 13 May 2009

[edit] Links sometimes not parsed correctly?!

I have a page with lots of tables and wiki links like <a href="Test">Test</a> (Wikicode: <a href="Test">Test</a>) that are displayed as &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;a href="test"&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;test&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/a&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;. I didn't figure out why this happens and didn't find any solution in your forums or with Google. It also seems that you have the same problems on some pages of your site here - like on <a href="Configuration Options">Configuration Options</a>
What I also recognized that I can not use the "Wikitext" button on my site - if I click on it nothing happens and the editor doesn't show me the wiki-code. But if I disable the FCKeditor and copy the wikicode, enable the FCKeditor again delete everything so the page is empty and switch to "Wikitext" (it's working now!?) and paste the wikicode into the textarea and then preview the text, it seems to work. But after I save it, every link is again displayed as &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;a href="test"&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;test&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/a&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;. If this is confusing I can send you some screenshots.
I'm useing Mediawiki 1.10.1. and I appreciate every help. Thank you.

PROBLEM:I think I have found the problem that's causing this. If you have a table with colspans FCKeditor isn't parsing this right. The "Wikitext" button then doesn't work anymore and the links are shown as above. Please fix this because that's a little bit annoying. Besides if you create a table with FCKeditor the merging with the right-mousebutton option doesn't work.

MORE INFO:  From another user.  I can confirm that this is a problem.  It works fine if editing with <b>Firefox</b> however, but <b>not IE'</b><b>.  Also, when this problem happens I get a javascript error in IE that says line 504 - Object does not support this method.  FCKEditor.html</b>
It seems that when you "cut" a line, the line break is also cut too. When the cut line is pasted, a line break is also pasted and the line break tells the editor to make another bullet even though it doesn't belong. I will test this more to see if that is the case in the error 3 section next.

Same Issue:  From yet another user.  I can also confirm that this is a problem, with one difference from the previous poster, I'm seeing the issue in both Firefox and IE. The original '&' character is converted upon opening the page for editing, to '&amp;' then repeats each time the editor loads that page again, ie: & then & and so on.

[edit] fck editor destroys tags

think this project is quite good, to make more people work on a wiki in a company. but unfortunately the editor is destroying our syntax highlighting tags. It simply ends the tag at the first line of the code an then sets a <pre> around the rest. could you please integrate a variable or file in which tags who have to be ignored can be stored? that would be great.

[edit] Not working with Dusk

I use a edited version of Dusk, and the editor won't show up. It shows up in MonoBook, but not Dusk. Anyone else experienced this, or know how to fix it? <a href="User:217.118.40.229">217.118.40.229</a> 01:31, 2 September 2007 (CEST)

[edit] Not working 100% with Cite.php

Using Cite.php extension, FCKeditor does allow easy reference insertion using the <R> button on the toolbar. However, there's no way of displaying all the reference (usually at the end of the page), as it requires the tag <references /> and not <ref /> (which is what will show up if you press the <R> button on toolbar and leave everything empty). How to get the FCKeditor to put down <references /> without having to edit it in Wikitext source? 

[edit] Fantastic!

I've been searching wide and far for something like this.  After wasting time installing and setting up Wikiwyg, I can't wait to get this integrated.  Excellent functionality!  I hope it works with 1.11.0... Any tests so far? -- <a href="User:216.99.65.63">216.99.65.63</a>
Just tried it -- works perfectly!  The only flaw I see (and it seems to be in this site, too) is that "double-clicking" a word or phrase and modifying it will highlight and modify the trailing space.  Then, after saving the edit, the trailing space will be deleted (resulting in a run-on word).  Any fixes? --                                      <a href="User:216.99.65.63">216.99.65.63</a> 22:30, 11 September 2007 (CEST) 

 

[edit] problem file:// links

hi, I've got a problem with file:// links.
I can't use a name for them cause the FCKeditor extension parser destroys this link and shows [[[[[[file://path/to/file file://path/to/file] [file://path/to/file file://path/to/file]] [[file://path/to/file file://path/to/file] [file://path/to/file file://path/to/file]]] [[[file://path/to/file file://path/to/file] [file://path/to/file file://path/to/file]] [[file://path/to/file file://path/to/file] [file://path/to/file file://path/to/file]]]] [[[[file://path/to/file file://path/to/file] [file://path/to/file file://path/to/file]] [[file://path/to/file file://path/to/file] [file://path/to/file file://path/to/file]]] [[[file://path/to/file file://path/to/file] [file://path/to/file file://path/to/file]] [[file://path/to/file file://path/to/file] [file://path/to/file file://path/to/file]]]]] name].
Any fixes?

[edit] PRE tags problem

I believe that I am also running into <a href="http://dev.fckeditor.net/ticket/1274">bug #1274</a>.  It can be seen in the sandbox, where text in <pre> tags is reduced to one line with escaped <BR> tags inserted where line breaks ough to be.  Specifically, this occurs when you switch to wikitext from WYSIWYG (or vice versa).  Anyone else seeing this?

[edit] yes

Yes, I confirm it. We've got this bug since firefox updated to 2.0.0.6 

[edit] fixed ! It appears to be fixed in this online version.

[edit] Using MW 1.10.1 with this and trying to implement Google Maps extension

The google maps extension:  http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Google_Maps/Editor%27s_Map places a button in the default MW editor to edit and add a google map.  My <googlemap> tags work fine with the extension but this button doesn't show up.  I know that both this extension and the google maps one are using EditPage::showEditForm:initial as a hook.  Anyone know how the google maps extension or this one or both need to be modified in order to see the button which reveals the map editor?

[edit] Issues with "maintenance/rebuildImages.php --missing"

After adding fckeditor to mediawiki 1.11.0, if you attempt to run "maintenance/rebuildImages.php --missing" you will get the error "getNamespace() failed on a non-object in line 99 of ../extensions/FCKeditor/FCKeditor.body.php
My work around was to bail out of the function onParserAfterTidy in FCKeditor.body.php by adding a new line of "return true;" on line 94 (after the "global $wsUseTex, $wgUser, $wgTitle;" line.)
Once the import was complete, I removed my "return true;" line.
I have just submitted this as a bug. (Ticket <a href="http://dev.fckeditor.net/ticket/1295">#1295</a>)

[edit] Using this extension with the Google Maps extension


I have to disable the FCKeditor in order to make the google maps extension work because the "make a map" button will not show up anywhere on the edit page dialog with the FCKeditor. Can anyone help me or just give me some way of enabling the google maps extension with the FCKeditor anyway? I'm not asking for full functionality with the FCKeditor or anything. Just a little text link above the editor window would be great! I just don't understand the complexities of the code well enough to get MW 1.10.1 to play with this extension and the FCKeditor integration at the same time!
I guess my problem really is: How can I instantiate the map editor somewhere else besides in the editor? (like maybe below or above it)
FCKeditor renders the <googlemap> tags just fine. I just need to let the user have an interface with which to edit the article since this is essential to the goal of my wiki site. (allowing each user a simple way to add a map to their article).
Thanks again! --68.35.119.165 19:22, 25 September 2007 (UTC) Nate

[edit] Love the extension but it's breaking 'media:' mark-up tag (fixed)

So anything put in as 

[[media:filename.doc]]

using the Wiklitext edit option saves ok but if the article is edited using FCK, the link is changed to a link to a new page.  Any suggestions? Thanks, Michael (m.clarke at careers.lon.ac.uk) 

[edit] I agree

I'm seeing the same behavior, using Firefox 2.0.0.7 and IE6. 
This is an example: 

[[media:filename.pdf]]

becomes

[[Wiki/sandbox/index.php?title=Special:Upload&wpDestFile=filename.pdf|media:filename.pdf]]

Any official word on this?

[edit] Workaround

It appears that the FCKEditor extension is assuming a file doesn't exist, even if it does, so it inserts the Special:upload page link for that filename (as above).  If you use this link (which shows up as a new page in the article) to upload the file, the editor then will insert a new link in the page pointing to the newly-uploaded file.  This does appear to be a bug, no?

[edit] This is fixed

For those interested in this bug and its history/resolution, see <a href="http://dev.fckeditor.net/ticket/1327">bug #1327</a>.

[edit] Sorry - not fixed in Firefox

In wikitext view, one can add a media:filename.ext tag, save the article and the link appears as intended.  But now when someone edits that page in FCKeditor, the media tag is doubled up as follows when the page is saved and the link promptly breaks: 

[[media:filename.ext]] becomes [[media:filename.ext|media:filename.ext]]

Is FCKedit ever going to be able to link to anything other than images? The work-around we're using, by the way, is to link to files via the image tag (being as all media ends up in the image folder by default) and add the desired link to the caption box.  It doesn't look pretty and it drives our users mad but at least it doesn't break! 
Michael, m.clarke@careers.lon.ac.uk 


Y'all have been working really steadily on this project; the new svn fixes, I think, everything listed above, and more.  Well done!  And thanks for the quick turnaround on bugs! 

[edit] Wikitext and FCKeditor is broken with IE 6 + IE 7 and spanned table - <a href="http://dev.fckeditor.net/ticket/1214">Ticket #1214</a>

How to replicate this problem:

  1. Open IE and edit any page
  2. Add a table
  3. Right click a cell and select "Cell Properties"
  4. Put 2 or higher in "Rows Span" or "Colums Span"
  5. Click OK
  6. Click on "Wikitext" button to see error in IE "Object doesn't support this property or method"
  7. Changes to page can't be saved
  8. You can make "Wikitext" work again by changing "Rows Span" or "Colums Span" to 1

Check out the <a href="Sandbox">Sandbox</a> for sample.

This is broken for Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 7 when using the latest nightly :(

[edit] A Few Errors with tables, bulleted lists, and text formatting (not sure how to officially submit tickets)

[edit] Table errors

[edit] First Error

Look what happens here with a table at 100 percent width. We get a horizontal scrollbar that appears at the bottom of your browser window.  I am using IE 7.0

blah blah blah moo moo moo blah blah blah moo moo moo
blah blah blah moo moo moo blah blah blah moo moo moo
blah blah blah moo moo moo blah blah blah moo moo moo

[edit] Second Error

This one I am having a hard time replicating but I'll try.  Here's the same table: 

blah blah blah blah blah blah moo moo moo moo moo moo
blah blah blah blah blah blah moo moo moo moo moo moo
blah blah blah blah blah blah moo moo moo moo moo moo


Now I will take the same table, copy it below, save it FIRST, and THEN I edit it (without using WIKITEXT mode) </p><p>following these steps and the result is what you see below. 


  • I highlighted and copied the contents of row 1 col
  • 1 "blah blah blah blah blah blah" using control - c (for copy)

  • Then I positioning the cursor directly after the 3rd "moo" in row 3
  • col 2 and pushed "control - v" (for paste)
  • The dialog box pops up asking if I want to allow script access or something like that and I say yes
  • HTML <td> and </td> are generated incorrectly.


blah blah blah blah blah blah moo moo moo moo moo moo
blah blah blah blah blah blah moo moo moo moo moo moo
blah blah blah blah blah blah <td>moo moo moo</td>blah blah blah blah blah blah  moo moo moo

Here's another table where I will get this error to occur another way. 

blah blah blah moo moo moo blah blah blah moo moo moo
blah blah "blah moo" moo moo blah blah blah moo moo moo
blah blah blah moo moo moo blah blah blah moo moo moo

and then I duplicate this same table and SAVE both of them first. This error only seems to happen when you have a table that is already saved and then you edit some text under special conditions and td tags get added.

  • I highlighted the text within the quotes inside row 2 col 1.  I did not highlight the quotes.
  • I typed in exactly what you see below which is the phrase "I must test".....again I didn't add or remove the quotes, only selected what was between them and typed over the existing text with something else.
blah blah blah moo moo moo blah blah blah moo moo moo
<td>blah blah "I must test</td>" moo moo blah blah blah moo moo moo
blah blah blah moo moo moo blah blah blah moo moo moo

[edit] Weird errors with bulleted lists

[edit] first problem

While I was making the last error I experienced another error that keeps happening with bulleted lists.  Look above and you'll see what I mean!  Let me know investigate step by step how this error occurs so that I may replicate it for you. </p><p>The error seems to be that when editing or maybe it's adding bullets, I end up with extra bullets like you see above once in a while.  I think it happens when I try to edit a bulleted list that is already saved.  This error does not seem to occur when I keep changing a bulleted list that I have never saved. </p><p>Another thing about this error is that just like the last errors with the tables, you will not see it happen as you are editing.  it will only be evident after you have clicked "save page" and then look at the results.
So now I will make a bulleted list with five items and I will "save page" with this list FIRST

  • I am not switching to wikitext at all to make this list
  • I did this list before I saved it
  • by clicking the buttom on the toolbar above for a bulleted list
  • and then I hit the "enter" key each time I want to go down to the next line and
  • this action adds a new bullet.  Once I finish this sentence, I push "enter" and then I backspace to remove the bullet and use my mouse to unselect the bulleted list buttom on the toolbar above.

Ok now I am in wikitext. I am copying the bulleted list and pasting it below. Once I copy and paste it I will click "save page" again. the list that follows doesn't look the same because after saving it I edited it by doing the following things: 1) Use the mouse to click at the end of any line in a bulleted list (I chose the end of the line for the third bullet) 2) press the "enter key" twice 3) Now press backspace once 4) The editor shows everything fine and indeed it will also look this way if you save it. However if you look at the wikitext for this list below you will see that there is a full line in between still. I'm not sure what implications this little bug might have...but I have ran into many issues with lists and I will try to replicate some more in the next error.

  • I am not switching to wikitext at all to make this list
  • I did this list before I saved it
  • by clicking the buttom on the toolbar above for a bulleted list
  • and then I hit the "enter" key each time I want to go down to the next line and
  • this action adds a new bullet.  Once I finish this sentence, I push "enter" and then I backspace to remove the bullet and use my mouse to unselect the bulleted list buttom on the toolbar above.

[edit] second problem

Here's our bulleted list: 

  • line one test
  • line two test
  • line three test
  • line four test

Follow these steps to recreate the error (Imagine you want to switch the content of the first and second bullets): 

  1. Select (highlight with mouse) the entire second line (line two test) including the space that appears behind it.
  2. "cut it" (control - x) .  You will still "see" the bullet but no text.
  3. position your cursor before "line one test"
  4. "paste it" using (control-v) and then push "enter" to put the content of line one onto line two

Here's the output you get (an extra bullet was created): 

  • line two test

  • line one test

  • line three test
  • line four test

This is what you should've expected: (you actually do get this if before hitting "enter" and step 4 above you switch to wikitext and back first)

  • line two test
  • line one test

  • line three test
  • line four test

Or better yet when using "cut" to cut a bulleted line the bullet should be "cut" or removed too and following the above directions would actually give this:

  • line two test
  • line one test
  • line three test
  • line four test

My theory why

[edit] Third Problem

Here's our bulleted list:

  • line one test
  • line two test
  • line three test
  • line four test

Do these steps:

  1. Highlight (select) the whole third line (line three test) and copy it using control-c or the toolbar button in the FCKeditor
  2. Now paste it at the end of any other bullet, even itself.

It creates a bullet on the line ABOVE wherever it gets pasted strangely enough.  Here it is pasted to line 1: 


  • line one test line three test
  • line two test
  • line three test
  • line four test

and if it's pasted at the end of the second bullet:

  • line one test

  • line two test line three test
  • line three test
  • line four test

[edit] Other errors I've noticed and will elaborate on more later

[edit] formatting w/ bold italic and underline

When formatting text and changing something from say bold to italic or maybe making something that's already bolded also italic, it seems common that extra apostrophes get added.  I frequently have to go into the wikitext mode and manually apply changes so that the correct type of formatting is applied to my text. Imagine that I make this word bold.
Now I come back after it is saved and change the word bold into the word 'bo loves do'</i>gs
See what happened?  It should say bo loves dogs but weird stuff happened. It doesn't seem to do the error if you change a word into a different word with the same formatting.  changing boldinto bowlingdidn't do it.  It happened when I started typing in the middle of the word and added new words and stuff.  Similar stuff happens with italics and underlining too. 

[edit] another table issue

Tables aren't supposed to be stacked on top of each other.  Sometimes I will have one table that is supposed to be directly BELOW another table.  If I save both the tables it seems ok at first because the one does appear under the other. When I go back to edit the top table, under certain conditions, I will use the "insert row above" or "insert row below" feature and soon the browser is trying to stack the two tables on top of each other. </p><p>Another way it's handled is by creating a horizontal scrollbar in the browser window and then squeezing the bottom table in over to the right. The way I correct for this is by adding HTML line breaks but that gets annoying if you have a top table with 100 rows in it because following this table must be 100 line breaks or more in order for the bottom table to render underneath as you intend for it to do. You can really get a feel for all the errors I have listed today by just trying to add a restaurant into my pre-loaded template for a new article at my site WIKI-EATIA.  Try it out and / or view source on an article and you'll see what I mean.  Complex table situations become problematic very fast for my website users. </p><p>it's at <a href="http://www.wiki-eatia.com">[n]</a> (<a href="http://www.wiki-eatia.com">www.wiki-eatia.com</a>) </p><p>Thanks a million!  This editor is great and keeps getting better!  Soon my users will have a seamless editing experience which is my goal because wikitext is not intuitive for people who do not code. <a href="User:Engquist">Engquist</a> 

[edit] Good start

Well done. A few questions: 1. Any idea on a date for a stable version? Not sure if to put the current version in my production wiki. 2. What PHP or Javascript assistance do you need? 3. I'd like to be able to specify the class for the table, e.g. wikitable class 4. A "category" list dropdown would be superb. 5. An image upload function (like in FCKEditor) would be nice. Woohoo.

[edit] Using Wiki for Code Commenting Causes Problems

I have noticed alot of differnet problems with using the wiki editor and trying to edit pages previously created by wiki language. For one when we the page being edited now by the wiki wysiwyg <code> </code> tags are preempted by <pre> tags. This causes problems in the line-up of the code. Also alot of the <br> insterted will cause mis-allignements.
Example:
<code>Sub Main()
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
Dim test As New XXXEventLogger.EventLogger
test.SetDebugMode False, "X.XXXXX@techsmith.com"
test.ApplicationStart "XXXEventLogger Test App", Importance_Low

... your code here ...
test.Log ("Successful Completion()")
ExitProcess:
test.ApplicationEnd
Exit Sub

ErrorHandler:
Dim ErrorText
ErrorText = " Number: " &amp; Err.Number &amp; vbCrLf
ErrorText = ErrorText &amp; " Description: " &amp; Err.Description &amp; vbCrLf
ErrorText = ErrorText &amp; " Error Source " &amp; Err.Source &amp; vbCrLf
test.ApplicationError (ErrorText)
test.Log ("Unuccessful Completion()")
Resume ExitProcess
End Sub
</code>

[edit] Disabling Wysiwyg does not work

I have tried everything to disable the wysiwyg by going to preferences and clicking the button which states (disable rich text editor) or even going into the group for disabling based on namespace. Neither of these works. When I go to a page each page will still show the wysiwyg and switching to wikitext does not display right at all. 

[edit] BUG: Style attribute gets removed

Whenever I add a style attribute to a HTML tag, it gets removed as soon as I click 'Wikitext'! <a href="User:TheDevilOnLine">TheDevilOnLine</a> 10:54, 5 November 2007 (CET) </span> I'm getting the same problem, I notice that this works on this site,
<font style="background-color: yellow;">next</font> however on my local wiki the style attribute gets stripped out and replaced with this
<font size="+0">next</font>
when flicking between the wikitext/editor views. Ended up using span+css and adding a new style to fckeditor in the end so it probably ended up for the best.

[edit] Disable Editor by default in certain namespaces

Is it possible to disable the editor in certain namespaces by default even for users who aren't logged in and have it disabled as their personal prefs? This is a temporary way to get arounds some of the parsing problems. For Example you have a map names in which you use Google Maps Extension, the editor is disabled in this namespace, so it won't mess up the code. When you need a map in an article you simply transclude it: <img _fck_mw_template="true" _fckrealelement="4" _fckfakelement="true" src="http://mediawiki.fckeditor.net/extensions/FCKeditor/fckeditor/editor/images/spacer.gif" class="FCK__MWTemplate">.

[edit] Solution

add

$wgDefaultUserOptions['riched_disable'] = 1;

to LocalSettings.php

Same can be done for all namespaces :

  • riched_disable_ns_main
  • riched_disable_ns_talk
  • riched_disable_ns_user
  • riched_disable_ns_user_talk
  • riched_disable_ns_project
  • ....

[edit] Image Upload

Is the image upload function within FCKeditor only available with v2.5?  I downloaded from the svn but dont see that option and the editor for this pages does not have it either.  One of my clients has a jotspot account (before registration was turned off) and that is one of the easiest Wiki's to use.  Please let me know if and when the upload function will work in mediawiki.  Otherwise this is awesome!!!!
-Damian

It's an important function for me too and i didn't find a solution on how to enable the image upload. Can someone please respond?

[edit] MediaWiki:SideBar

i think this affect with other pages as you cannot use Media Wiki:SideBar shows you an empty page :( 

[edit] Bug: Don't use the Delete Key

So, backspace seems to work fine, but if you use the delete key in wysiwyg mode, it get's translated as a line break and then all those annoying html paragraph tags start showing up.  The backspace key apperas to work just fine.  So, to reproduce the problem... "Type in your sentence but don't use the ddelete key" </p><p>Then go back and delete the extra "d" in "ddelete" and you get:
"Type in your sentence but don't use the delete key" The work around is to go into wikitext mode and clean everything up before submitting it.  It's so common for me to do that now that I usually switch back and forth between wikitext and richtext mode before submitting my page.

  • Update.  I apparently have an older version of this integration.  My version puts paragraph tags around sentences to indicate new lines that only show up in wikitext mode.  This version doesn't have the paragraph tags.
  • Second update - Apparently this is a known bug.  <a href="http://dev.fckeditor.net/ticket/1528"><a href="http://dev.fckeditor.net/ticket/1528">[http://dev.fckeditor.net/ticket/1528 n</a></a> though I wish it had a higher priority.  I can't give it to users and tell them they can only use a subset of their keyboard.

[edit] Change Default to "Disable rich editor"?

When you install FCKeditor, it becomes the default for all users. Why is that? I'd expect such extensions to be as unobtrusive as possible, so this caught me by surprise. Some of our users will definitely be happy with this extension, others will prefer to use wikitext, and they will miss the buttons that come with the default wiki editor. Is there a way to change the default to "Disable rich editor"? Does anyone have a method to change that value for all users? --<a href="User:Hvdeynde">Hvdeynde</a> 09:35, 20 December 2007 (CET)

[edit] Making Wikitext load first (sort of)

It took me a while to find, but my desired effect is to edit wiki text first, then go to a Rich-text editor second.  While I couldn't stop FCKeditor from parsing the page, and loading the page in WYSIWYG I figured out how to call SwitchEditmode after the editor loads up.

  • open /wiki/extensions/FCKeditor/fckeditor/editor/fckeditor.html
  • around line 178 at the bottom of
if ( typeof( window.parent.FCKeditor_OnComplete ) == 'function' )
window.parent.FCKeditor_OnComplete( FCK ) ;
  • add this line
FCK.SwitchEditMode();




 





  • It will look like this when your done
if ( typeof( window.parent.FCKeditor_OnComplete ) == 'function' )
window.parent.FCKeditor_OnComplete( FCK ) ;
FCK.SwitchEditMode();


Great. Thank you. Is there a way to change this directly from monobook? --<a href="User:Flominator">Flominator</a> 12:43, 14 April 2008 (CEST) </dd>


[edit] Feature Requests

  1. Paste rich or formatted text.Currently you can only paste in plain text. To paste in all those Word Docs with their included formatting, this feature is paramount.
  2. Insert Image directly. It appears that you can only actually reference an already uploaded image. It would be nice if this feature actually allowed you to choose an image from the user's local filesystem, upload it to the wiki, then pasted the reference directly where the user wanted it, instead of making the user jump through all of these hoops.
  3. Change text color. Is it just me or is it not currently possible?  The <font> tags work so why can't you do this? EDIT - It does work, you just need to uncomment the button from the config file.
  4. Alignt text left, right, center and block. Hi, the only feature I'm missing is to align the text, the buttons are available, but doesnt "work" on mediawiki 1.11.0. The <font> and <div> tags work so why can't you do this?
  5. Get speller pages working. I have tried but I can't get it to work, the button won't show on the edit toolbar. EDIT - I've done it. There is a slight problem with the 'pop-up' window being too small but other than that it works.

There ist a big Problem, using Semantic MediaWiki and the FCKeditor extensions together.


In case, editing a page within Semantic MediaWiki-Tag, the FCKeditor includes the parsed lines and tables from the "Semantic MediaWiki" into the page content.

[edit] Version 2.6?

Is there an easy way to get version 2.6 of the FCKEditor running with the extension? I tried installing the complete extension (using 2.5.1) and then overwriting my FCKeditor/fckeditor directory with the latest version from the fckedtor.net web site, but that just resulted in a broken editor...

[edit] FCKeditor 2.6.4

FCKeditor 2.6.4 is now included in the FCKeditor extension.

Could you clarify? The 2.6.4 version depicted on the main web site doesn't appear to be the MW-compatible 2.6.4 (fewer tools, etc.). Thanks VERY much for all the work!! clayton "dot" curtis "at" va "dot" gov

[edit] Output HTML, not MediaText

I am trying to integrate FCKeditor so that it outputs HTML and not wikitext.  It seems that is the exact opposite goal of this extension.  However, could anyone give me some advice on how to do this type of integration?  Our users would like to be able to copy rich text directly from word and paste into the editor.  They'd also like to be able to code in HTML and view source, much like the non-extension FCKEditor does a very good job of.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

[edit] User Preferences "Editing" Tab does not mention an option for Rich Editor Disabling

I have installed FCKEditor on my mediwiki installation

Mediawiki 1.12.0

FCKEditor : Version fckeditor/mw-extension $Rev$ 2008)

This article mentions an option to Disable the FCKEditor in the Preferences page but I can't find it in my preferences page

--> OK, found them in the "Misc" Tab, not in "Editing > Disable rich editor" as mentioned on the main page


Ideally I'd like FCKEditor to be disbled by default, the user to be able to change this default for him in his preferences page

--> found a solution to disable the editor by default : add

   $wgDefaultUserOptions['riched_disable'] = 1;

to LocalSettings.php

[edit] Anchors

Anyone know how to properly use the anchor button?  I'm using MW 1.12.0 on Linux, FCKeditor 2.5.1 that I picked up from a nightly build around May 1 and added the edits to EditPage.php and Sanitizer.php as instructed.  Most features work fine.  However, I used it to set an anchor but it just created in wikitext a pipe character surrounded by two square brackets: [[|]]  According to the FCKeditor documentation, to use an anchor you use the Link button and specify the anchor, but the Link dialog says nothing about anchors.  It seems totally unusable.  Am I doing something wrong?

EDIT:Mediawiki tags headings for anchors. So, for example, if you have a page titled MyPage and on it you have a heading titled "Anchors", you can use

http://your.server.com/wiki/MyPage#Anchors

to go to that heading. From what I can tell Mediawiki does not understand anchors outside of headings, so why an anchor button exists on the Mediawiki version of FCKeditor is a mystery to me. Maybe it could be used to show headings (anchors), but then that is obvious. Maybe its time to remove it to reduce confusion?

[edit] Image captions disappear when they have formatting

[edit] Image captions disappear when the page is edited again

I can write captions and after saving they are displayed alright. But doing any edit at the same page and save again, the captions disapear (also in the wikitext). I'm using MediaWiki 1.15.1, PHP 5.2.10 (cgi), MySQL 5.0.81-log. Is there any help. Please with very exact description. I'm a dummy ;-(

-- We're a professional development not for profit who is implementing FCKeditor on an internal wiki, and this is quite an issue (the extension is great otherwise!). we've managed to work around this, the majority of the content is in the main namespace, but there are links that can't be added via the search function.

there is a workaround, but for average users to understand they need to understand the concept of namespaces. which can be accomplished, but it would be better if the educational barriers to entry were lower, there's no reason we should have to explain "well, it can search for these types of pages, but not these types".

there needs to be a configurable option ($wgFCKeditorNamespacesToSearch array?) to define which namespaces that FCKeditor will search. 150.101.20.46 02:08, 1 July 2009 (CEST)

UPDATE: 17 jul - NEVERMIND THE PREVIOUS ENTRY needed to signify it as a content namespace as detailed in the creating a namespace section of the mediawiki manual.

HOWEVER: for it to actually search the namespace, you need to type in the Namespace you THINK it might be in before it will actually find it.

for example, create a link to a page in the 'policy' namespace for a page called "Information Technology" I need to actually type:

Policy:Info

and then the page will turn up in the search results.

IMHO It would probably be better if someone could type in "Info" and the results include the "Information Technology" page in the main namespace, AS WELL AS "Policy:Information Technology".

Is there any way to do this that anyone is aware of? 150.101.20.46

[edit] Category link feedback

same poster as above,

kudos on the category button addition. it's fabulous, one bit of feedback though, I can't see an easy way to remove a category from a page.

not a big deal, the namespace issue is more important though. ED: NEVERMIND. you just doubleclick it again in the other window. but there's no text to indicate that anywhere.

  • I've found the category tool to be disfunctional (v2.6.4) and also on the Sandbox here.  It works at setting a category for the first time on a page, but after that if you try to add a second category nothing happens.  If you highlight the existing category and then try to change it all that happens is the category name is appended with a "|" character, so for example Category:MyCategory becomes Category:MyCategory|.  I think the category tool design is fine, just wish it worked.


[edit] Frontpage instructions

The frontpage instructions, the ones that claim that you can disable the editor via the Special:Preferences page, need to be updated.

The process is this:

  1. Click <a href="Special:Preferences">my preferences</a>.
  2. Select the "Misc" tab.
  3. Select "Disable rich editor", or select the specific namespaces that you wish to disable the rich editor.

Also... Every internal link I put in is being piped without case, which results in slightly messy code that's annoying. I reported the bug, but I thought I'd post it here just in case someone came up with a solution so that I can implement it myself while I wait for the MW/FCKeditor team to hack it in there. -- <a href="User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.">Joe Beaudoin Jr.</a> 01:36, 27 May 2008 (CEST)

[edit] disable for existing users

as mentioned about in local settings: $wgDefaultUserOptions['riched_disable'] = 1;

but it does not seem to affect existing users, does anyone know how to? <a href="User:Mlong212">Mlong212</a> 21:22, 28 May 2008 (CEST)

This is the expected and general behaviour of Mediawiki. However, there is a maintenance script called userOptions that you can use (<a href="http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Maintenance_scripts">Manual</a>, <a href="http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgNamespacesToBeSearchedDefault#userOptions.php_MediaWiki_maintenance_script">explanation in another context</a>). For me, this one did the trick:
php maintenance/UserOptions.php riched_disable --old "" --new 1

A big "Thank you" goes to the developers for starting this. Since Wikiwyg has not really launched, my hopes are that this will work out.

[edit] Has this project Died?

I've not seen any changes since April. Please don't say it has died. I really like the FCKeditor extension.

Edit (June 9, 2008) I really hope not as this is a great idea!

[edit] Problem with switching to Wikitext and back to WYSIWYG

Hi i just installed it, and its great... would be great if not one big problem. When I switch to Wikitext it works ok, but when i switch back to WYSIWYG then, it takes into edition window Start Page (entire! even with logo and left menu) and whatever was under edition is lost. I use short url version, perhaps this has something to do. But i checked all advices connected with short url and there is no change. Jakub (June 10, 2008)

Hello Jakub. I have a similar issue, but only when using MediaWiki with IIS webserver. In my case I get a parser error, when switching back from Wikitext-mode to WYSIWYG mode.
I issued a ticked for this. http://dev.fckeditor.net/ticket/2586
With the Apache webserver it works just fine. Are you using IIS or Apache?

[edit] Why aren't templates rendered like normal text?

Is it possible to display templates like normal text in FCKeditor? Or at least is it possible to display templates like in wikisyntax instead of {T} which does not show the contents of templates?

[edit] FCKeditor nightly version 5th July 2008 and Mediawiki 1.12.0

 Is this project still going - I can't seem to get the extension to work at all with the 1.12.0 version of Mediawiki, just the standard Mediawiki 'edit' tab shows up and there are no preferences to enable/disable the rich text editor. Have successfully added the extension to LocalSettings.php and it has an effect as the pages load slower whilst loading the extension!

Am I doing something grossly wrong? Thanks!

A: Unfortunately that version was broken. Use the latest version or download the extension directly from SVN.

[edit] Wiki 1.11 installation, FCKeditor not shown

I've added the FCKeditor and followed the installation and troubleshooting guide to the letter, verified that my other extentions are working with both Firefox and IE7, but I am still at a loss.  FCKeditor refuses to show in the Special:Version listing, on the Edit pages, or on the user prefs Editing tab.  Any insight into this would be greatly appreciated.


[edit] How do you use Pre tags?

Is there anyway to insert a pre tag without having to hit the "Wikitext" button at the top and manually entering it? Can we enter them via the WYSIWYG editor?

[edit] Show Preview screws the page

Hi,

I'm using fckeditor 2.6.2 with mediawiki 1.12. (I could not convince 2.5.1 to work with IE in wikitext mode)

Clicking on the "Show Preview" screws some links Main Page and converts embedded <source> tags to &lt;source

After Page Preview fckeditor no longer display <special> but <source lang="sql> bla </source>.


Apart from that great works guys. Definately a boost where "User Acceptance" is concerned.

[edit] Required Extensions???

It seems from reviewing Mediawiki+FCKeditor's features that some Mediawiki Extensions are required for all features to work, namely:

  • Cite - for the References button (<R>), though you still need to manually enter <references /> where you want the references to be listed, at the end of the page for example.
  • Calendar - for the special tag <calendar> as seen in the "Special Tags" button (<S>)
  • Inputbox - for the special tag <inputbox> as seen in the "Special Tags" button (<S>)
  • Some Math extension(?) for the math button (Greek 'sigma' letter on the top-right)

[edit] Broken features

  • Anchors do not seem to work at all.
  • Insert/Edit Template seems to require more work than not using it.
  •  There seems to be no manual that I can find other than the generic FCKeditor manual, which does not include wiki specific features.  This discussion page is all there seems to be in order to find information about the FCKeditor extension.

[edit] Template editor

I'd like to be able to use FCKeditor to be able to insert/edit template items.

What I'd like is:

  • iiiii rather than Template:T
  • a generic popup editor with an input for each named parameter (maybe even with some kind of toggle to use textareas) and/or input where there aren't named parameters

Apologies if this is covered elsewhere -- here's sort of a ticket for it but I can't find any other documentation. 

[edit] Great for corporate acceptance

Just to reiterate -- FCKeditor is incredibly good for 'user acceptance', as someone said above. You're unlikely to get a corporate installation approved without it.

[edit] The list just shows 10 items when I try to insert images.

When I write an article and insert images by clicking on the image icon in the editor toolbar and typing a few letters of the image name, the list shows just the first 10 images even when there are much more. But when I type the complete name like "Picture_11" I can preview the image and insert it but when I just type Picture, I get a list with the pictures from Picture_01 to Picture_10 and that's it.

Is there any way to show all files matching the typed in part of the filename?

ANSWER: Find FCKEditorSajax.body.php around line 60. Look for function wfSajaxSearchImageFCKeditor. Beyond there is a line $limit = 10. Insert what you prefer. Done. Greeting, Mathias --94.223.125.174 12:00, 26 August 2009 (CEST)

[edit] Catchable Error Mediawiki r40507 (1.14)

Been getting this error when i click 'edit'.

[edit] Button for adding file links

Is there any word (or a hack for) making a button that adds an internal file, rather than an image? Something for Media:XXX.doc, rather than Image:XXX.jpg


[edit] Solved: Broken <ref>, <references> and user tags

In combination with the latest version (July 2008) of Extension:Cite <ref> and <references> tags will break while switching between FCKeditor and Wikitext. Also user tags i.e. extension tags which are not automatially identified by FCKeditor break this way.

In the development area at the FCKeditor website you can find two patches to solve this problem - they seem to work fine:

[edit] Italian localization

Hi all, I'm interested in Italian locale version, thus I created the following files with italian translation:

extensions\FCKeditor\FCKeditor.i18n.it.php
extensions\FCKEditor\plugins\mediawiki\lang\it.js

Then I modified the fckeditor_config.js as follows:

replace: FCKConfig.Plugins.Add( 'mediawiki', 'en,pl') ;

with: FCKConfig.Plugins.Add( 'mediawiki', 'en,pl,it') ;

And all works fine.

The only problem was to replace single apostrophe (') with double quote (") as string delimiter, because in Italian the apostrophe is widely used in written language. As example:

'The image' became "L'immagine"

Thus, the question: where I can upload the italian localization file? I've placed them in User:Briotti/LangIT

Moreover, there is an error in en.js, pl.js files:

The lines

FCKLang.wikiBtnReference   = 'Insert/Edit Reference';
FCKLang.wikiBtnReference   = 'Insert <references /> tag';

should be

FCKLang.wikiBtnReference   = 'Insert/Edit Reference';
FCKLang.wikiBtnReferences  = 'Insert <references /> tag';

[edit] fckeditor 2.6.3 integration

I have updated the integrated 2.5.1 editor today to 2.6.3 from the official website at www.fckeditor.net. It wouldn't run out of the box, so here is a tip how to run it:

Apparently there is a bug, that at least in Firefox results in a not displayed fckeditor window and an empty edit page. Solution is to edit the file fckeditor/fckeditor.js (in 2.6.3 zip package):

in Function "FCKeditor.prototype._GetIFrameHtml = function()" (Line 163) add the following line at the top of function:

FCKeditor.prototype._GetIFrameHtml = function()
{
 var html = '' ;
 ...

After that change it worked without a problem for my mediawiki 1.13 installation

[edit] Enhancement request: Resizing tables

FCKeditor provides a nice wizard for creating a new table, but I can't make that wizard appear for resizing a table.  How do I use the GUI to add columns or rows to a table?  The toolbar button seems to suggest this is possible, since its tooltip reads, "Insert/Edit Table".  Please make it so. --Lsloan 22:05, 12 January 2009 (CET)

[edit] Enhancement request: Indenting

Along with a signature button, talk pages need a way for users to indent their responses. That's done with a colon ":" in wikitext. Please add a button for that in FCKeditor. --Lsloan 22:07, 12 January 2009 (CET)

Yes, please do this it's very important- really the last major flaw in the software, now that it works with cite.
I accomplished this in version 2.6.4 by changing the following in fckeditor_config.js:
Change: ['OrderedList','UnorderedList','-','Blockquote'],
To: ['OrderedList','UnorderedList','-','Outdent','Indent','-','Blockquote'],
However the indentation only works with bullets, not plain text. Why I don't know since with bullets it just places a "*" and for plain text it would just need to place a ":".

[edit] FCK converting WikiText and removing code

OK, loving FCK editor, BUT, and this is a big BUT....


I have started using images in my Wiki, the idea is to use an image to link to either another article, pdf document, or external source. Although my Wiki supports the [[Image:imaeg.png|Link=[[media:media.pdf]]]] format, if I use it in a RichEdit document I cannot use it, nor can I use some other common syntax, most notably:

[[Image:Counts2 database dropped tables001.png|thumb|left|200px|Link to [[Media:Counts2_database_dropped_tables.pdf|Counts2 Dartabase Dropped Tables]]]]

Which adds an image in and has a link to the pdf document as its caption gets changed to:

[[Image:Counts2 database dropped tables001.png|thumb|left|200px|Link to Counts2 Dartabase Dropped Tables]] 

Losing the caption altogether and replacing it with the Alternative Text....


Thought I had an answer with the 3 bar FCK editor - with the alternative image button, but no joy (the "full FCK" has an image button with a link tab in it)..

BUG? or No Bug? will put this into Bug report as well...

[edit] FCKeditor + IE7 + Tab-Browsing

I recently set up a new Wiki

MediaWiki  	1.13.4
PHP 	5.2.8 (cgi)
MySQL 	5.0.67-log
FCKeditor (2.5 SVN Build 21745) 

Everything works just fine except when I edit an Article using IE7 with Tab-browsing enabled. I can use all functions. But when I try to include an image the selection window appears, the image can be selected, but when I try to take it over the picture is inserted, but the selection window does not close. I narrowed down the problem to a "close window" which does not work. Accessing this wiki using IE6 or Firefox there is no problem. Unfortunately the "OK" and cancel Button are disabled so a manual close it not possible either. Any suggestions? Maybe it would be okay not to disable the cancel button (as an intermediate solution) -but I cannot find the location where to do it :o( -- 84.149.230.168 13:05, 5 March 2009 (CET)

Exactly the same problem here. The code that is causing this problem is line 415 in fckeditor\editor\fckdialog.html, which tries to do
$( 'btnCancel' ).focus() ;
Seems like the cancel button cannot receive the focus since it's already disabled. After commenting out the above line, the problem is gone. Strangely enough, the function where this is happening seems to be called only when IE is used. 129.26.149.233 17:24, 2 April 2009 (CEST)

[edit] Цена образования

Увлекательный случай случился позавчера вечером. Мой крестник не так давно занимается с репетитором по английскому языку. Предмет даётся ему не просто, именно по этому он всячески хочет уйти от дополнительных нагрузок. Но как-то раз, когда преподаватель как обычно намеревался поручить домашнюю работу, это чудо как запищит: “Ай, ай, ай, о моя рука, она просто ужасно болит!”, а через некоторое время добавил: «Ох, если бы Вы сжалились надо мной и не давали мне никаких заданий, то возможно она успокоилась бы в сто раз cкорее!». Репетитор разнервничался и начал было рассказывать о том, что когда он ещё был в техникуме... … И в это мгновенье в спальню зашла сестра и с удивлением спросила: «Что, неужели у Вас нет диплома о высшем образовании по английскому языку? Мне очень охото увидеть Ваш диплом!». Видели бы Вы лицо этого несчастного — как мы узнали потом, у него вообще нет профильного образования по английскому языку. А по корочкам он — только подумайте - слесарь!!! Случай возмутителен до предела. Хорошо, что этот лжец не имел на руках ненастоящего диплома, но ведь многие в наше время получают высшее образование через кассу.

Интересно узнать ваше мнение. Возможно у кого ещё происходило нечто подобное?

[edit] Javascript Problem

I have successfully installed the extension and it works fine, except for one problem. When using the editor it adds the following to the page:

<script type='text/javascript'>
function toggleExpandable(id) {
var heading = document.getElementById('expandable-heading-'+id);
var content = document.getElementById('expandable-content-'+id);
if (content.style.display == 'none') content.style.display = ;


else content.style.display = 'none';
this.parent.focus();
}
</script>

Switching back to the normal editing and deleting this works fine, so that means the Rich editor is sticking this into the page. Google searches turn up no solutions, anyone have any thoughts?

[edit] No option to add line breaks?

Line breaks are essential as it avoids breaking multi-paragraph list items. Without it, there is just NO WAY to create multi-paragraph list items, which are very common. I understand that line breaks are not part of wiki markup and require HTML, and FCKeditor tries to adhere to wiki text as much as possible, but it would have been great if it was disabled by default and only users who specifically needed it could enable it.

I found out by accident that you can add line breaks by pressing alt + Enter! Now its just perfect!

[edit] Problems with FCKEditor breaking diffs

I've installed and configured FCKEditor to be off by default, leaving it up to the users to enable it if they want (this was set up this way on user request). The result is that around half choose to use the Rich Editor and half stick with the traditional MediaWiki edit interface. This has introduced an annoying problem for the active contributors... the RE completely rearranges the Wiki syntax, basically doing a rough equivalent of a Tidy on the Wiki syntax source for a page (mostly doing things like adding whitespace in table syntax, and shuffling Category calls to the bottom of a Wiki page, etc.).

This Tidy really breaks the diff functionality for the contributors. Any time a user edits a page using the RE, the diff shows pretty much 100% of the page has changed even though it hasn't (ie only a single line may have actually changed).

Is there any way to tone down or limit the "Tidy" that the FCKEditor is doing? Or.. how should this be managed? I can't just tell half the users "too bad, get used to it", nor can I remove the RE that the other half of the users are using. Any tips or odeas are more than welcome! --Ccornell 12:08, 12 January 2010 (CET)
