Answer

If you answer a question - or have a question you asked answered by someone - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status is in a drop-down list below the edit box.

This assumes a standard installation following the Install Docs with no further customization.

Download the latest stable version of FCK Editor and unzip it to a directory called "FCKeditor" in the root of your web server.

Backup the file twiki/templates/edit.pattern.tmpl

Change the following section:

%TMPL:DEF{"templatejavascript"}% %TMPL:END%

ie - you need to add the FCK related stuff.

This will enable the FCK Editor when pressing the standard Edit button.

whoops..; here it goes again:

%TMPL:DEF{"templatejavascript"}%<script type="text/javascript" src="%PUBURLPATH%/%TWIKIWEB%/TWikiJavascripts/twiki_edit.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="/FCKeditor/fckeditor.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
      window.onload = function()
      {
        var oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor( 'text' ) ;
        oFCKeditor.BasePath = "/FCKeditor/" ;
        oFCKeditor.Height = "600" ;
        oFCKeditor.ReplaceTextarea() ;
      }
    </script>
%TMPL:END%
