I'm not going to promise any sort of useful details here because I know, 
from past experience, that I'm not going to find the time to package 
code up in a form in which it can be usefully shared (I owe apologies to 
people here and elsewhere for promises unfulfilled in the past).

Anyhow, that said (and with the added proviso that due to tuit shortage 
we're still working on RC2 here), I really don't see where the issues 
lie with toolbar customisation: you can define as many toolbar sets as 
you like in fckconfig.js and both the supplied custom tag and CFC allow 
you to select the things per editor instance.

For image upload directories, you'll have to get your hands dirty to an 
extent. I've pretty much rewritten the connectors from scratch here as 
we've integrated fckeditor into our (mod_perl/PerlMagick based) image 
auto resizing and processing code, so our code isn't likely to be of 
much direct use to you, but the connectors are where you'll need to delve.

The standard (Application|Server).userFilesPath base isn't a lot of use. 
We've recoded that to (1) pick up userFilesPath more flexibly - we check 
Request, Session, Application, Client and Server in that order - and (2) 
allow userFilesPath to be a hash, keyed on connector type ('File', 
'Image' &c) so different media can live in entirely different places.

If that doesn't give you enough flexibility, then you're likely into 
more significant hacking - passing paths into the fckeditor js code and 
back out to the connectors in the xmlhttprequest. It's not rocket 
science, but you'll need to spend a bit of time sussing out how the 
protocols work as standard first. We've not needed to do this, but 
having crawled through the relevant code for other reasons, I don't 
think it would be difficult.

I'll get my husband to pop along and answer this - he did all the work on

Really?  Is that in the documentation somewhere, or can you provide a
code sample?  Also, any idea if it's possible to specify the image
file upload path dynamically?  I'm building a simple blog app and want
to allow users to upload to their own directories.

Re: switch from siteObject to FCKEditor

2006-05-20 Thread Pete Ruckelshaus
I switched from soEditor to FCK a while back and couldn't be happier.
soEditor's extremely slow release cycle was what finally drove me away
from their product.

My only complaint about FCK is that there's not an easy way to have
multiple toolbar configurations for a single site.

Dwayne,

FCK comes with its own CF code for creating an fck instance, as well as a
cfc. It really couldn't be easier.

No need for a custom tag. Setting up FCKEditor is a breeze (just remember to
set the coldFusion connector for image uploading. You can essentially copy
the ColdFusion example in the download.
