FCKEditor for snews 1.7

[tumu]

I use FCKEditor on my projects mostly. So implemented FCKEditor to snews. Here how is it:

1. Download FCKEditor and upload your site's root folder (/fckeditor/)
2. Edit snews.php

After "//STARTUP" (~line 76) add this

Code:

if (_ADMIN) {
$times = substr_count($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'],"/");
$rootaccess = "";
$ix = 1;
while ($ix < $times) {
  $rootaccess .= "../";
  $ix++;
}
include_once ($rootaccess."fckeditor/fckeditor.php");
}

Below "// FORM GENERATOR" inside the function replace following lines

Code:

case 'textarea': $output = '<p>'.$lbl.':<br />
<textarea name="'.$name.'" rows="'.$rows.'" cols="'.$cols.'"'.$attribs.'>'.$value.
'</textarea></p>';
break;

to

Code:

case 'textarea':
if (_ADMIN) {
$oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor($name) ;
$oFCKeditor->Height = '600' ;  //optional
$oFCKeditor->Value = $value;
$oFCKeditor->Create() ;
} else {
$output = '<p>'.$lbl.':<br />
<textarea name="'.$name.'" rows="'.$rows.'" cols="'.$cols.'"'.$attribs.'>'.$value.
'</textarea></p>';
}
break;

You may need to edit some config files of FCKeditor to upload images etc. Script alerts when needs to edit config, follow the instructions.

Hope this helps.

Seems to be that this advice is outdated
and does not fit into the current version of the code sNews 1.7 Update 1.0.

hello
this is a simple way to add fck, just as we did with sNewsCMS v1.6,

after install the fck.

open snews.php -->
find form_article() function,
find line and comment it out:

Code:

echo html_input('textarea', 'text', 'txt', $frm_text, l('text'), '', '', '', '', '', '2', '100', '', '', '');

find and comment out --> buttons() function:

Code:

buttons();

Add under it the FCK code

Code:

////////////////////
include("fckeditor/fckeditor.php");
///////////////////////////////////////////////
echo "<div class=\"editor\">";
$oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor('text') ;
$oFCKeditor->BasePath = '/snews_root_dir_here/fckeditor/';
$oFCKeditor->Value = stripslashes($r['text']);
$oFCKeditor->Width  = '98%' ;
$oFCKeditor->Height = '550' ;
$oFCKeditor->ToolbarSet = 'Default' ;
$oFCKeditor->Create() ;
echo "</div>";
////////////////////

a bit after that, find the preview div and comment it out:

Code:

echo '<div class="adminpanel">';
echo html_input('fieldset', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '<a title="'.l('preview').'" onclick="toggle(\'preview\')" style="cursor: pointer;">'.l('preview').'</a>');
echo '<div id="preview" style="display:none;"></div>';
echo '</fieldset>
</div>';

that is all

awesome day

Can someone publish your converted file snews.php with FCKeditor?

I can not do it according to instructions!

[mosh]

Try this http://cms-zen.com/downloads/snewsFCK.zip

[emailoo]

Try this http://cms-zen.com/downloads/snewsFCK.zip

   
Thank you.

I have a question, what to do in the FCK to install it?

It is in the root: index.php, snews.php, fckeditor and specially created folder userfiles.

   
I have an error in the panel at the place where he is editor:

Not Found
The requested URL /snews_root_dir_here/fckeditor/editor/fckeditor.html?InstanceName=text&Toolbar=Default was not found on this server.

Give the path to FCKeditor in this line:

$oFCKeditor->BasePath = '/snews_root_dir_here/fckeditor/';

If root:

$oFCKeditor->BasePath = 'fckeditor/';

I am having and issue with the latest version of FCKeditor installed on SNews 1.7. In the FCKeditor I see symbols such as & and quotes, and also see double spaces. But when I save the changes and view them on the site & is converted to the HTML equivalent such as &amp;  double spaces are converted to &nbsp; and so on. Does anyone know how to fix this.

Thank you,

This doesn't happen on my test install of the latest download. Perhaps I do not understand what you are referring to. If I use apostrophes, double quotes and & signs in my textarea, they get saved into the articles dbase table that way... they display in the article that way... and they are that way when I pull the article's content up in the Edit panel as well. I do not experience conversion to html entities.

Perhaps this has to do with the character collation setting you use when you created your empty database... before populating it with the tables. You should want to use utf8_unicode_ci in the MySQL Connection Collation field and again... replace Collation with utf8_unicode_ci in the dropdown field to the left of the Create button before creating it.

hello
try this:
open snews.php, in function articles, find and comment out line

Code:

file_include(str_replace('[break]', '',str_replace('&', '&amp;', $text)), $shorten);

replace it with

Code:

file_include(str_replace('[break]', '',$text), $shorten);

that should work
awesome evening
