This subject was discussed in
this Thread. I thought i would be helpfull to make a topic related to the editor problems i had and how i solved this.
Ok, listn carefully everybody.
My experience after a lot of testing with the FckEditor RC2 and the 'HTMLArea XTD 1.1 RC1' this is the result:
The problem with FckEditor is, that the editor wasn't visible in the backend. It was visible on the frontend all the time. But the problem was in the backend. In the configuration.php the setting for the 'Live site' is this:
PHP Code:
$mosConfig_live_site = 'http://yourwebsite.com';
Because of the missing of the 'WWW.' this path doesnt work for the two editors i tested.
The problem with the 'HTMLArea XTD 1.1 RC1' was that the editor had a lot of problems with the image option. For example a message came in a popup that said 'Direct access not allowed' (or something like that) Now, my suggestion is, open your configuration.php and change the livesite path into:
PHP Code:
$mosConfig_live_site = 'http://www.yourwebsite.com';
Yes, just put the www. infront of the address. It seems that the backend can't deal without this setting and that some coding conflicts with the wysiwyg editors. After i made this change in the configuration.php file, ALL of my problems i had in the backend were gone like the wind.
Another tip, Change also the 'Administrator' link on the frontpage in the mainmenu. The standard link in the backend is '/administrator' Just change this path into 'http://www.yourwebsite.com/administrator/' Be sure you have the slash on the end to. Why, cos my experience is that the path in your browser sometimes jumps for example into 'the original subdomain path' (if the mambo is in a subdomain folder).
Well, this little change had solved my problems. I hope that this will solve yours too.
Good luck!
