Overview
--------
This module allows Drupal to replace textarea fields with the FCKeditor.
This HTML text editor brings many of the powerful functionalities of
known desktop editors like Word to the web. It's relatively lightweight
and doesn't require any kind of installation on the client computer.

Compatibility
-------------
At the moment the CVS version will work in Drupal 4.7 But the integrated
File Browser needs a bit of manual configuration, more information
about this is in the included readme.txt file

Required components
-------------------
To use FCKeditor in Drupal, you will need to download the FCKeditor
http://www.fckeditor.net/

Requirements
------------
  - Drupal 5.x
  - PHP 4.3.0 or greater
  - FCKeditor 2.3.x (http://www.fckeditor.net/)

Installation
------------
  1. Copy the module fckeditor folder to modules/.
  2. Download FCKeditor 2.x from http://www.fckeditor.net and copy the
     distribution files (the contents of the "fckeditor" directory from
     the FCKeditor distribution file) to modules/fckeditor/fckeditor.
  3. See 'How to enable the File Browser' for additional instructions.

Configuration
-------------
  1. Modify the fckeditor.config.js file to custom your needs (optional).
  2. Enable the module as usual from Drupal's admin pages.
  3. Under settings, configure the fckeditor settings.
  4. Grant permissions for use of FCKeditor in Administer > Access Control
  5. For the Rich Text Editing to work you also need to configure your
     filters for the users that may access Rich Text Editing. Either grant
     those users Full HTML access or use the following:
      <a> <em> <strong> <small> <sup> <sub> <cite> <blockquote> <code>
      <ul> <ol> <li> <dl> <dt> <dd> <h2> <h3> <h4> <img> <br> <br /> <p>
      <div> <span> <b> <i>
     Users that need access to tables might be better of using Full HTML

Security
--------
Note that enabling file uploads is a security risk. That's why there is a
separate permission in Administer > Access Control for enabling the file
browser to certain groups.

How to enable the File Browser (in FCKeditor 2.3.x)
---------------------------------------------------
The editor gives the end user the flexibility to create a custom file browser
that can be integrated on it. The included file browser allows users to view
the content of a specific directory on the server and add new content to
that directory (create folders and upload files).

To enable the file browser you need to edit the connector configuration file in
your fckeditor module directory, the file should be in:
/fckeditor/editor/filemanager/browser/default/connectors/php/config.php

In this file you will need to enable the file browser:
  $Config['Enabled'] = true ;

To use the drupal files directory you also need to comment out or remove the
following line in the connector configuration:
  //$Config['UserFilesPath'] = '/UserFiles/' ;

Furthermore, you will need to create a "File", "Image", "Flash" and "Media"
subdirectory in your drupal files directory. These directories must have the
same privileges as the drupal files directory. In some cases these
directories must be world writable (chmod 0777).
