Custom Query

Reproduction procedure:

1. Open sample01.html in Firefox.
2. Press Ctrl-A and Delete to delete all contents.
3. Press Enter.
4. Press Backspace.
5. Now the caret disappears.
6. Press the up arrow key.
7. Now the caret hangs above the empty document.

This bug can be reproduced on both the current SVN version and in 2.4.3.

I'm using postgres for mediawiki storage and found a problem with the FCKEditor plugin when searching for a link to add. Postgresql only recognises LOWER as a lowercase SQL function but MySQL recognises LCASE as well. I suggest changing LCASE in the FCKEditor plugin code to LOWER then it should be compatible with both.

The changes are in FCKeditorSajax.body.php, lines 58 and 105.

I have been using FCK Editor in my web pages for quite some time. It works great in IE6/IE7, FireFox Versions 1/ 1.5 / 2

But to my surprise it just failed to appear in upcoming Fire Fox 3.
I have tested with Fire Fox Alpha 3 Build 7 ( Gran Paradiso )
I have downloaded Firefor 3 from :
​http://developer.mozilla.org/devnews/index.php/2007/08/03/gran-paradiso-alpha-7-available-for-download/
I am worried : It is just a temporary bug or Firefox is going to drop support for Design Mode functionality all to gather.

Thanks

This bug is reproducible under both 2.4.3 and the SVN version, though with different procedures. They both seem to be related to the bogus <br> tags added by Mozilla Midas and by us.

Reproduction procedure on 2.4.3:

1. Go to sample01.html, delete everything.
2. Press Enter twice.
3. Press Backspace twice.
4. Press the up arrow, now the caret hangs above the document.
5. Press the "Insert Special Character" button, and insert a "TM" character.
6. Try to delete the "TM" character by backspace or delete.
7. The "TM" character cannot be deleted, even select + delete does not work.

For the SVN version, I don't have a reliable way of reproducing it, but it seems to occur more often in the SVN version. The following is a more reliable method that I can get the bug to occur after a few trials:

1. Clear the editor document, and insert a "TM" character with the "Insert Special Character" dialog.
2. Press backspace to delete it. If you are lucky it wouldn't work.
3. What if it worked? Undo with Ctrl-Z, and the game begins...
4. Try any method to move the caret around the "TM" character, End, Home, Left, Up, Down, Right, etc. Open a new line or two below it and delete them. Just mess with the caret, and then try to delete the "TM" character.
5. After a few trials, you find the "TM" character have gained immortality... if you don't switch to Source mode or refresh the page, that is.

Using fckeditor with BodyClass='cpage'; define in main html: .cpage h1 { ...any-style-here... } when editor loads, all the format preview tabs are blank (white/white text) except where specifically defined in css with color:black

This applies to the Norwegian language files.

When inserting a link in the editor and selecting to link to an anchor, the text says "Lenke til bokmerke i teksten" (bookmark is used instead of anchor). The Norwegian word for anchor (anker) is used everywhere else and should also be used for the key DlgLnkTypeAnchor.

I'm attaching two patch files with the suggested change. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I am Blind and am developing content on a site hosted by www.icthustech.com. icthus.com uses the DotNetNuke portal and the DotNetNuke portal uses the FCKEditor. The editor works fine when composing straight text but I can't use the toolbar because all or most of the controls are graphics that can't be picked up by Screen Readers. Furthermore, there doesn't seem to be any keyboard equivalents. For these reasons, I can't even document the problems. I'm asking that the FCKEditor follow guideline. Web Content Accessibility Guideline 1.0 Guideline 8. Since access to these controls is critical for content developers, this is considered a priority one checkpoint.

I would like to be able to capture the cursor position with the .Net control on a postback. with this value i could then insert a TAG or something simliar from say a list control on the same page. so the cursor position would be a numeric value in the .Value property of the editor.

Is this easy to do. I have had a bit of a look at the control but cannot see anything that will give this value.

If there is enough content in the editor so it can be scrolled down, then the context menu in Safari is shown displaced.

The problem might be that Safari lacks document.compatMode and the assumption made is wrong:

FCKTools.IsStrictMode = function( document )
{
	// There is no compatMode in Safari, but it seams that it always behave as
	// CSS1Compat, so let's assume it as the default.
	return ( 'CSS1Compat' == ( document.compatMode || 'CSS1Compat' ) ) ;
}

After clicking on {T} button, the Template Properties window pops up with the error message "Template raw definition (from {{ to }})", and window does not load templates. Installed MediaWiki+FCKeditor extension with MediaWiki 1.10.1.

I know that people should read docs etc. but let's see how some of users test software before actually deciding about using it. They download file, unpack, then see _samples dir and simply run examples. Since there is no README in _samples dir, it's not obvious that to run examples divieded into separate dirs for each language, user must do some additional config changes (that's how examples usually work).

So, because we can't split FCKeditor into separate distibutions for each server language (which would give us real statistics of using each distribution btw.) I think it's important to give at least the most appropiate and descriptive error responses to the user to that specific error (and generally everywhere).

Very good example is problem with wrong _FileBrowserLanguage and _QuickUploadLanguage. In error message we are displaying contents of a whole file and "The server didn't send back a proper XML response." (see #227) - it says nothing to the user and it's not so easy to close that message on a small screen.

I suppose that some people wouldn't consider it as a configuration error but as a shortcoming and would be wondering whether they encounter more strange problems in the future.

My suggestion is that we could add in each connector.ext file some special tag in a comment section e.g.

do not remove this line: #FCK_WRONG_LANGUAGE_ASP#

And then if XML response is wrong, we could check before displaying error message whether such special tag exists and display more friendly information, for example:

Your server didn't execute ASP file. 
Please check whether ASP is available or change your default server language in fckconfig.js (...) 
You can find more information here:...

I need print with symmetrical margins. This is a sample> Page 1 ...margin left:0.4 , margin right:0,2 Page 2 ...margin left: 0,2 , margin left:0,4 ......

I need that for print in the doble face of the paper.

THANKS

window.getSelection() in Safari can return selection object with anchorNode == focusNode == null. So the related code has to be checked for this issue and be corrected.

For example, see [667]

1. On FCK Editor, copy and paste the following

<input class="buttonleft" type="button" onClick="window.location.href='​http://www.test.com/UI/page.aspx?cid=1&ptid= 4&pgtid=5&guid=[GUID]'" value="Back to My Home Page" />

2. Click on 'Source' (multiple times)

Actual Result

<input class="buttonleft" type="button" onClick="window.location.href='​http://www.test.com/UI/page.aspx?cid=1&amp;a pos;amp;apos;ptid=4&amp;apos;amp;apos;pgtid=5&amp;apos;amp;apos;guid=[GUID] '" value="Back to My Home Page" />

Expected Result

<input class="buttonleft" type="button" onClick="window.location.href='​http://www.test.com/UI/page.aspx?cid=1&ptid= 4&pgtid=5&guid=[GUID]'" value="Back to My Home Page" />

Observation

"&amp;apos;amp;apos;" were added next to "&", this will add up depending on the number of times the "Source" is clicked.

Please look into this.

OS : Windows XP Pro Browser : IE 6 and IE 7

Thanks and Regards, Raj

1. Press the indent button
2. Switch to source mode
3. Switch back to design

An error happens in CheckAndRemovePaddingNode, this.PaddingNode gives an error when accessing it. I guess that it was created from the previous EditingArea document and now that document is destroyed so it isn't valid

I load an editor on the fly (JS) when a user press "edit" button, the editor is loaded in a hidden div; when fckEditor is fully loaded I simply show it. It works fine, but with my last subversion update I've got a strange error with fck_gecko.js
sel has no properties (fck_gecko.js line 206)

if (sel.rangeCount < 1 )return;

This bug comes only if my div is invisible, to work arround I've modified the if statement in this way:
if (!sel || sel.rangeCount < 1 )return;
All looks fine now, but I don't know the real reason why this error come now and not in previous version (rv: 650 did not have this issue).

The current algorithm does not account for cells with rowSpan > 1. I should change them to using FCKTableHandler._CreateTableMap() instead.

The first bug is that vertical cell merging in Firefox does not work.

Reproduction procedure:

1. Create a new table.
2. Select two adjacent cells in a column.
3. Right click -> Cells -> Merge cells.
4. The cells aren't merged.

The second bug is that the horizontal split cell command produces "inefficient" tables. Reproduction procedure:

1. Create a 3x3 table.
2. Select a row with 3 cells, and merge them. (or "Merge Right" twice in IE)
3. Now split the merged cell.
4. Go to source mode.
5. Notice that for all rows, the first cell of the row has a colspan=2, which is excessive.

There are security settings on browsers to block scripts from disabling the default context menu. In those cases, users will have no way to display our custom menu, as the only option we have for now is the right-click (as expected, btw).

We should provide alternative ways to display the menu. Some proposals are:

• [Left Click] + [Keyboard Accelerator] : we could use CTRL on Windows and META on Mac. The problem is that IE uses CTRL+Click to select the paragraph. I'm not sure we have people using that our there, but we would be removing that feature from the browser. ALT instead is used to activate the application menu on Windows, so we may have conflict.

• CTRL + [Space] : we can also make it configurable in the fckconfig.js file. It means that a "ContextMenu" command should also be created.

When placing an fckEditor inside an UpdatePanel, upon submitting to the server, the content of the fckEditor gets cleared. This has been a known issue prior to Vs2008 Beta2. The solution is documented here: ​http://jlcoady.net/archive/2007/03/30/f ... pdatepanel here: ​http://wiki.fckeditor.net/Troubleshooti ... 0a41253d76 and here in the forums:

​http://forums.asp.net/p/1028530/1513800.aspx#1513800

So using VS2008 Beta1, I used

function FCKUpdateLinkedField(id) { try { if(typeof(FCKeditorAPI) == "object") { FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance(id).UpdateLinkedField(); } } catch(err) { } } and everything worked fine.

I upgraded to VS2008 Beta2, here Microsoft Ajax Library is included in the framework.

Now I get an exception thrown every time I try to submit my form. The xmlHttpRequest has a status code of 500 with a status text of "Interenal Server Error"

Can you please check into this and see if the problem is on Microsoft's side, connect with them to fix it so .NET3.5 would not break fckEitor going forward.

Thanks

I am trying to integrate FCKeditor into mediawiki 1.9.3 I followed your page and after all the changes, i restart the servers. I could not get to my home page. I removed the line below from the localsettings.php file and restart servers and all was well.

require_once $IP . "/extensions/FCKeditor/FCKeditor.php";

My wikipedia is under /Users/rohit/Sites/mediawiki

/extenstions/FCKeditor

I am running all this on iMac/Intel with the latest Mac OS X

Any ideas what is missing or how to troubleshoot this problem.

thanks Rohit

Scenario:

1. Create a table
2. Move the cursor to the paragraph above the table
3. Press "del" to delete the table
4. Press "CTRL-Z" to restore the table
5. Javascript error because of body element beeing deleted

Tested in Nightly build with IE7

The bug does not seem to apply when the table is deleted as a control object (selected and then deleted)

When editing a new page in WYSIWYG mode and creating a bulleted list a <BR> is added to the end of the list entry. I have found this tricky to reproduce, so it maybe related to the first time the script is run.

Scenario:

1. Create a table
2. Click the mouse outside of the table (either just before or after)
3. The cursor is placed outside of the table at the height of the last row
4. When starting to write the cursor is moved to the correct position (either into the paragraph above or the paragraph below).

Tested in nightly build with IE7

The wrongly placed cursor is a bit confusing for the user.

The summary says it all. The second choice in the Format dropdown is "undefined" in Norwegian. I'm attaching patch files for no.js and nb.js

queryCommandValue( 'FontName' ) returns the font name wrapped in single quotes if it contains at least one space character.

Fixed with [699].

queryCommandValue( 'FontSize' ) must return a value from 1-7 range. But it returns the font size in pixels, e.g. "12px".

queryCommandValue( 'FormatBlock' ) always returns false .

Reproduction procedure:

1. Type some text in the editor under IE
2. Change the text to "Formatted" in the format menu.
3. Press Enter twice inside the formatted text.
4. Press Enter even more, say, ten times.
5. No matter how many times you pressed Enter, there is only one line break.
6. Switch to Source mode, you'll notice that there are many <br> tags where you pressed Enter, but all of them translated to only one line break in WYSIWYG mode.

We are extensively using ranges in FCKeditor. The ​W3C and ​MDC define the range.detach() function. The following is its description from the MDC:

"Releases Range from use to improve performance."

It seams we are not using it in our code. We need to investigate all points in the code that could take benefit of it.

i'm Using the .net control, can you export the value of the fckeditor to word?

The word "celleegenskaper" is used several places, but "celle egenskaper" is used for DlgCellTitle. "celleegenskaper" is the right one.

"pixels" is translated to "pixeler"; Norwegian has several words that can be used, but pixeler is more like an imported English word. The more correct word would be "piksler".

I'm attaching patchfiles with the suggested changes.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a new paragraph
2. Write a text
3. Select all text in paragraph (but not paragraph)
4. Apply bold or italic
5. The non break space is selected
6. Press delete and the whole paragraph is deleted and not only original selected word.

Tested in IE7 and nightly build.

Dear Fred & developers,

I've searched for this ticket title;found none.

Like Word applications, there'd better be buttons for Inserting New Row/Column && Merging Row/Column. So. there'll be four buttons.

1. Insert new row
2. Insert new column
3. Merge (selected) rows
4. Merge (selected) columns

Thank you so. aungkhant

Dear Fred & developers,

There'd better be drop-down/combo box for dynamically switching new skins (Default/Office/Silver). We could add cookie implementation for remembering user's favorite skin. Currently what we see in JavaScript Sample 05 is a separate part of editor toolbar. What I'd like to suggest is that drop-down box combined in editor toolbar.

Thank you so. aungkhant

The basic idea would be to raise an event each time a dialog is loaded, giving this way the ability to a plugin to customize the way that dialog works (for example changing the default value of some field, adding new fields or hiding existing ones).

Each time a dialog is loaded, in the call to window.parent.InnerDialogLoaded() it should pass the command that it's handling: window.parent.InnerDialogLoaded('link') or window.parent.InnerDialogLoaded('anchor'), etc...

Then an event will be raised from the FCK object sending as parameters the name of the command an a reference to the loaded window.

From that point, it's up to the plugin to do whatever it wants, and we should provide some samples about how to use it, but I guess that there can be some interesting ideas to improve the way some dialogs work for some people (like those that want to add presentational features like border colors and background images, or on the other side, remove all traces of such features and use only semantic elements), that we'll be able to see only after something like this is released.

When creating a list, there are times I need an indention without the numbering, but numbering to continue. Here's some sample wiki code:

# Num listing one
## Nested num listing one
# Num listing two
#: Indention to num listing two
# Num Listing three

The #: line is not translated correctly. It will end up like this with FCKeditor in wikitext mode:

# Num listing one
## Nested num listing one
# Num listing two <dl><dd>Indention to num listing two</dd></dl>
# Num Listing three

Then for some reason, if I edit/preview again, it will screw up on the </dd> tag and we see this:

# Num listing one
## Nested num listing one
# Num listing two <dl><dd>Indention to num listing two&lt;/dd&gt;</dd></dl>
# Num Listing three

Every preview/update will re-render the </dd> incorrectly, which adds more </dd> tags to the displayed text.

When I copy and paste text with link in IE6/IE7 (from fckeditor text to fckeditor text) the:

<a href="XXX">YYY</a>

becomes:

<a href="XXX"><font color="#0000ff">YYY</font></a>

When I add media or file from file browser, FCKEeditor adds full path but this won't work if you send e-mails created with FCKeditor as client will try to call path from its own host.

So I made some improvements at frmresourceslist.html on oListManager.AddFile as below

oListManager.AddFile = function( fileName, fileUrl, fileSize ) {

Create the new row. var oRow = this.Table.insertRow(-1) ;

Burayı ben ekledim (parahat) var sHostname = window.location.hostname; if(window.location.port.length > 0)

sHostname += ":" + window.location.port;

Build the link to view the folder.

var sLink = '<a href="#" onclick="OpenFile(\'​http://' + sHostname + fileUrl + '\');return false;">' ;

Get the file icon. var sIcon = oIcons.GetIcon( fileName ) ;

Add the file icon cell. var oCell = oRow.insertCell(-1) ; oCell.width = 16 ; oCell.innerHTML = sLink + '<img alt="" src="images/icons/' + sIcon + '.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0"></a>' ;

Add the file name cell. oCell = oRow.insertCell(-1) ; oCell.innerHTML = '&nbsp;' + sLink + fileName + '</a>' ;

Add the file size cell. oCell = oRow.insertCell(-1) ; oCell.noWrap = true ; oCell.align = 'right' ; oCell.innerHTML = '&nbsp;' + fileSize + ' KB' ;

}

It would have been nice if I could have set the max height of the various dropdown panels (like the format, style panels) with css applied to the SC_Panel class.

Currently the max height is set manual into fckspecialcombo.js at line 29 and this height will override the height set in css if the offsetHeight (height of elements) exceeds the maxHeight.

Maybe it could have been added a check to see if the height is set with css and then apply this as a maxheight, or the max height could be set with a configuration variable.

The bottom border of edititng area disappears after expanding the toolbar manually. Browser version: Opera 9.23

If the editor use non-English language file the FontFormat combo doesn't work in IE.

RefreshActiveItems function (contained in fcktoolbarfontformatcombo.js) always get second parametes as string containing name of a format in English and pass it into SelectItemByLabel that assumes that the parameter (itemLabel) is localized string.

I am not sure what is the best way to fix it.

If FCKConfig.StartupFocus = true the keyboard cursor doesn't appear in the editing area. A user has to click there to get the cursor. If FCKConfig.StartupFocus = false a user has to click twice for getting cursor.

Btw, if press Shift+RightArrow the toolbar buttons get focus.

Dear Fred and developers,

Currently FCKeditor table html code is

<table width="200" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1" border="1" summary="This is summary">
    <caption>This is caption</caption>
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td>&nbsp;</td>
            <td>&nbsp;</td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>

Some web designers say the preferable code is

<table width="200" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1" border="1" summary="This is summary">
	<caption></caption>
    <thead>
    <tr><th>THEAD</th></tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td>TBODY</td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
    <tfoot>
    <tr><td>TFOOT</td></tr>
    </tfoot>
</table>

They say it's suitable for organizing table code, especially numeric data table. Sorry, I have no great idea for posting this stuff. Maybe you come up some ideas.

Thank you so much for your time.

Dear Fred and developers,

At table context-menu, currently we have Cut, Copy, Paste, Cell[>>],Row[>>], Column[>>], Delete Table, Table Properties.

In this case, what I'd like to suggest is adding -

[i][priority:low,optional] .

one menu named 'Convert' at top of 'Delete' menu

which has a submenu named 'To Header' that does

• converting td to th

The only difference of th is making fonts bold. You will say user can bold his fonts using 'Bold' button. Yeah, but it causes some extra codes - <strong>BOLD</strong> and increases pg sizes a little or more.

[ii][priority:high,recommended].

one menu named 'Cell Properties' at top of 'Table Properties' menu When user clicks it, a 'Cell Properties' window will pop up

with 7 form elements -

		1. nowrap(html=nowrap) [checkbox, if checked, the code will be nowrap="nowrap"]
		2. header (html=th) [checkbox, if checked, this turns td into th, making the font bold.]
		3. horizontal align(html=align) [ dropdown box with items - center, left, right]
		4. vertical align (html=valign) [ dropdown box with items - top,bottom,middle,baseline]
		5. background color(html=bgcolor) [colorChooser]
		6. background image(html=background) [file]
		7. border color(html=bordercolor) [colorChooser]

As you know, this cell properties window is valid only for user's currently focused cell. Thank you so much for your time, consideration and hardwork.

Dear Fred and developers,

At Table Properties, please

create some input boxes:

	a. class/ID [which lets users write their class/id name according to their pagelayout.css]	
	c. style [ which lets users write their custom css tags]	
	d. background color 
	e. background image
	f. border color

So, the page height of table properties will be lengthy. Please don't worry. We can create "Basic" tab and "Advaced" tab for it to be shortened.

Thank you so much for your time, consideration and hardwork.

Dear Fred and developers,

Currently the 'New Page' button doesn't check any data that are already written in editor.

User may accidentally click it and lose all pre-written data !!! :(

So, the 'New Page' button should be able to prevent this frustration.

Because the editor completely reloads a new page, the 'New Page' button checks what's in the text area.

Invoker	:=	User
Event	:=	ButtonClicked
Object	:=	btnNewPage

BEGIN PROCEDURE 
	Check values in text area
	If values == 'This is some sample text. You are using FCKeditor.' OR values == ''
		load new page 
	Else 
		confirm user "The texts have been changed since last written. Are you sure to load new page ?"
		If yes
			load new page 	
		EndIf 
	EndIf		
END PROCEDURE

Thank you so much for your time, consideration and hardwork.

Dear Fred and developers,

The table action buttons:

	1. Insert Row
	2. Delete Rows
	3. Insert Column
	4. Delete Columns
	5. Insert Cell
	6. Delete Cells
	7. Merge Cells
	8. Split Cells

should be disabled when user hasn't drawn a table yet or when he doesn't focus a table.

Thank you so much for your time, consideration and hardwork.

Dear Fred and developers,

Currently, the editor doesn't have 'Insert Date/Time' button. Please doesn't re-invent the wheel for calendar. There is a great calendar on the web -

• ​http://dynarch.com/mishoo/calendar.epl

[This is much similar to Microsoft.Net framework calendar. We can use any format we like.] Just bind it. Work will be done in few minutes!

Thank you so much for your time, consideration and hardwork.

Hi

The configuration of the QuickUpload for the PHP connector was set that way according to ​http://dev.fckeditor.net/ticket/454#comment:18 to keep backwards compatibility.

The Python connector on the other side didn't had a quickupload previously, so when it was added in #575 it was possible to use a more logical configuration by default.

If now it is changed it should be strongly marked in the release notes or lots of people will say that it's broken (even putting the info isn't enough as they just don't read them)

When creating an anchor in FCK, and then displaying corresponding wikitext, I get an empty link:

[[]]

Mediwiki recommendation for creating manual anchors is to do:

<span id="anchor_name"></span>.

See ​http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Link#Anchors for details

Please run sample01.html, then click on Replace button. Type for example i in the first textbox and anything in the second. Then click on Replace or Replace All button. An error occurs.

Clicking on Print button has no effect. Seems like window.print() doesn't work.

Btw, this bug also was dicsussed here: ​http://www.appletalker.com/forum/index.php?req=thread&id=949

Please load sample01.html Then select some part of the text in editing area. Click on Insert/Edit Anchor button, enter any name for anchor and click OK button. Anchor has created. Then try to click on Undo button. Nothing happens (the button is not highlighted even). But Ctrl-Z works properly.

Most Mediawiki websites customize their CSS settings by editing the Mediawiki:XXX.css pages. Example at ​http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.css.

To get correct rendering, FCK should also pre-load these pages, not only the "physical CSS files in the "skins" directory.

This issue seems to be Firefox specific. The bug seems to be in the FCKEnterKey class although I could not figure out how to fix it.

To reproduce (very easy):

• download the latest nightly built (or version 2.4.3)
• edit fckconfig.js and replace: FCKConfig.EnterMode = 'p' ; by FCKConfig.EnterMode = 'br' ;
• Load the _samples/default.html page into Firefox
• Now keep pressing the enter key until the cursor goes down enough to create a scrollbar

What you will see: You will notice that the scrollbar does not go down and follow the cursor as expected. So the cursor becomes no longer visible.

What should happen instead: The scrollbar should scroll down and the cursor should still be visible.

NOTE: Type any character (other than Enter) and the scrollbar will work fine, which seem to point to a bug in the Enter Key handler code

After uploading file inside subdirectory, returned url is invalid because it is created with the following command:

sFileUrl = CombinePaths( GetResourceTypePath( resourceType, sCommand ) , sFileName )

I believe we should also use currentFolder to construct the final url:

	$sFileUrl = CombinePaths( GetResourceTypePath( $resourceType, $sCommand ) , $currentFolder ) ;
	$sFileUrl = CombinePaths( $sFileUrl, $sFileName ) ;

Hi, I try to post the topic to Bug reports, but I don't have access. Please, transfer this mail to the support's team. I find a bug in FCK2.4.1 at the upload of files in subdirectories. File : /editor/filemanager/browser/default/connectors/asp/class_upload.asp When i upload in subdirectories, the sFileName have "/". I replace this character by "\". Regards,

Eric L'Hostis CYIM Society.

Dear Fred and developers,

By default, the save button is enabled; it should be disabled at first page/editor loading. The button should check value changes in text area since page loading or last save operation. Only if changes occur, then it becomes available/enabled for saving command.

Thank you so much for your time, consideration and hardwork.

Dear Fred and developers,

Currently the Form dialog has :-

1. Name
2. Action
3. Method

I'd like you to re-write the form dialog.

A new form dialog has -

two tabs.

1. Properties

which has 3 form elements -

1. Name
2. Target [_blank,_parent,_self,_top]
3. Class/ID

2. Handlers which has 3 form elements -
   1. Actions [url]
   2. Method [post, get]
   3. Encoding [text/plain, multipart/form-data, application/x-www-form-urlencoded]

Thank you so much for your time, consideration and hardwork.

Dear Fred and developers,

The full-mode doesn't cause anything trouble.

My suggestion may be optional for you.

(A simple scenario)

When a page has several editors, user might not know what he were currently editing after coming back from a delicious dinner.

He would have to click the fullscreen button again and determines the current stuff.

(/A simple scenario)

To prevent this little annoyance is easy.

When user click full screen button, the page title changes to 'Editing {EDITOR_NAME} in form {FORM_NAME} ...'. When he's back to normal mode, the page title restores back to the original page title.

Thank you so much for your time, consideration and hardwork.

Dear Fred and developers,

Currently the Flash Properties dialog lacks some attributes:

1. quality [low, high, autolow, autohigh]
2. wmode [window,opaque,transparent]
3. align [baseline, top, middle, bottom, left, right, texttop, absmiddle, absbottom ]
4. swconnect [true, false]
5. plugsinpage [url]
6. background color [bgcolor]
7. vspace [length]
8. hspace [length]
9. Class/ID

Thank you so much for your time, consideration and hardwork.

Dear Fred and developers,

Currently the editor lets user insert Flash media. What about QuickTime, Shockwave, Window Media, Real Media, user-defined media ?

Thank you so much for your time, consideration and hardwork.

Dear Fred and developers,

The newly insert html comment button is disabled by default when page/editor loading. This becomes enabled as soon as user switches to source view.

The prompt box will ask the user his comment string and the output is <!--- THIS IS COMMENT --->

Thank you so much for your time, consideration and hardwork.

Dear Fred and developers,

The newly insert html comment button is disabled by default when page/editor loading. This becomes enabled as soon as user switches to source view.

Thank you so much for your time, consideration and hardwork.

Currently the dialog let us preview special characters like ©. Please add 'Description' text at the bottom of that preview box like Copyright, Trademark, Phi ..etc

Moreover, the dialog should have 2 additional previews for

1. HTML code, e.g. &copy;
2. Number code, e.g. &#169;

Please increase the width and height of that dialog page as well as font sizes so that we can view characters more clearly and vividly.

Dear Fred and developers,

In FCKeditor, the toolbar plays a vital role. What about Menu? Yeah, menu like 'File', 'Edit', 'Search', 'View', 'Format' as we see in windows applications.

The menu will be at top of the toolbar or a temporary replacement of the toolbar. I imagine it'll be really nice to see both Menu and Toolbar together like in Word application.

Thank you so much for your time, consideration and hardwork.

Dear Fred and developers,

It'll be really nice to see syntax highlighting when we switch to source view. There's a great syntax highlighter -

​http://www.dreamprojections.com/syntaxhighlighter/

Thank you so much for your time, consideration and hardwork.

Dear Fred and developers,

I haven't still seen any highlight button which turns

• selected texts into texts with yellow background color

Thank you so much for your time, consideration and hardwork.

Dear Fred and developers,

The word count button will count values in text area by way of -

1. word [Use Regex to determine space]
2. character [ FCKeditor.values.length - length of Regex(whitespace characters) ]
3. line [Use Regex to determine line break characters]
4. paragraph [Use DOM to count p tag]

Thank you so much for your time, consideration and hardwork.

Dear Fred and developers,

The button is similar to the 'Content Templates' button. It will open a window that lists a set of stylish or pre-formatted table templates like word application. The user then chooses his desired table template.

Thank you so much for your time, consideration and hardwork.

Dear Fred and developers,

Currently we have two modes - normal mode and fullscreen mode. What then about Read-Only mode?

We can do it by using

» two radio buttons with labels - Read-Only -> On | Off or » one checkbox with label - Read-only

The read-only mode prevents user from editing the texts by accident.

Thank you so much for your time, consideration and hardwork.

Dear Fred and developers,

Previously, I suggested a skin-switching button, which you all are reluctant to take my advice.

I now have a better idea. Yeah, a good idea to create 'User Preference' button. You've all seen Preference/Settings box in almost all windows applications.

In User Preferences dialog, there will be some form elements -

Label => Skin HTML => one Drop-down menu for skin changes

Label => Toolbar: Basic, Default, Advaced(=all features) HTML => one Drop-down menu for toolbarset changes

Label => Enter-Key Behaviors HTML => <label>When 'Enter is pressed'</label> + Dropdown menu HTML => <label>When 'Shift-Enter is pressed'</label> + Dropdown menu

3. one checkbox for fullpage editing [on/off]
4. one checkbox for read-only mode [on/off]
5. Any settings your ideas come up with.

In advanced settings, the user can select even which toolbar items to load.

Definitely, all that preferences must be saved as cookies and requires page/editor reloading.

Please note for dealing with Server-side:

This User Preferences rule should be controlled (enabled/disabled) by server-side codes. These preferences couldn't be overridden by client-side.

Thank you so much for your time, consideration and hardwork.

Dear Fred and developers,

When full-page editing mode is enabled, there will be an additional button which will be a total replacement for "NewPage" button.

When User click on 'NewPage' button, he will see a dialog window named "Page Templates" like "Content Template" dialog window. What makes it different from "Content Templates" dialog, the "Page Templates" window will show a set of code templates and predefined page design like we seen in desktop html applications like Dreamweaver. These may include -

[Code Templates]

1. HTML 4.0 Transitional/Strict
2. XHTML 1.0 Transitional/Strict
3. XHTML 1.1 Transitional/Strict
4. Frame Sets

[Design Templates]

5. two-column page layout
   6. three-colum page layout
   7. much more ...etc

Please set an option for JavaScript to able to execute in Full-Page editing.

From that point on, we can feature JavaScript snippets, CSS snippets, HTML snippets and desired Server-side language snippets. Thus, we can totally turn FCKeditor into the best complete WSIWYG HTML/ASP/PHP/CFM Editor on the web.

Thank you so much for your time, consideration and hardwork.

Dear Fred and developers,

As you already know, CSS can do incredible styling that plain HTML cannot.

The newly CSS-Style button is disabled by default. When the user types some text, it becomes enabled.

Click it. The "CSS Properties" dialog will appear. The dialog will have server tabs of CSS categories :-

1. Text
2. Background
3. Box
4. Block
5. Border
6. List
7. Positioning

Each category will have their respective CSS elements. e.g. For Text, there will be -

1. font-family
2. font-size
3. font-weight
4. font-variant
5. color
6. background-color ....etc

The eraser icon named 'Remove Format' must be able currently applied CSS style.

Thank you so much for your time, consideration and hardwork.

Fixed in [749]

"Automatic" and "More Colors..." are not centered.

Reproduction Procedure:

1. Go to sample12.html
2. Change Enter mode to BR
3. Ctrl-A, Delete in the document to delete everything
4. Type "line1" <Enter>
5. Type "line2" <Enter>
6. Type "line3" <Enter>
7. Switch to Source mode
8. Switch back to WYSIWYG mode
9. Go to the end of the document, press Enter
10. Switch to Source mode
11. Now the last line of the HTML code reads "<br type="_moz" />".. which shouldn't happen.

The issue can be reproduced on Opera, Firefox and Safari

Basically when using both fckeditor extension with the wikitex extension in mediawiki (tested on 1.10) FCKeditor changes the code in the wikitex feeds making them unusable.

You can normally post once but on the second edit FCK edits out the special characters For example you would post:

<amsmath>\sideset{}{'}\sum_{n<k,\;\text{$n$ odd}} nE_n</amsmath>

And that would make the correct equation in mediawiki however if you did edit again or even if the previous option had been used to do a preview when you went to save the wikitex extension would fail because fckedit had changed the characters to:

<amsmath>\sideset{}{'}\sum_{n&amp;lt;k,\;\text{$n$ odd}} nE_n</amsmath>

Before and working:<amsmath>\sideset{}{'}\sum_{n<k,\;\text{$n$ odd}} nE_n</amsmath>
After and broken:  <amsmath>\sideset{}{'}\sum_{n&amp;lt;k,\;\text{$n$ odd}} nE_n</amsmath>

If you try to use the math tool in fckeditor it incorrectly encases the code in the <math> brackets which also prevents it from rendering.

I think what is needed is for fckeditor to ignore the code inside the special wikitex braces? I've tried this using: wikitex 1.05 FCKeditor version 2.5 SVN Build 16068 MediaWiki: 1.10.1 PHP: 5.1.6 (apache2handler) MySQL: 5.0.27

Known parser extension tags: <abc>, <amsmath>, <batik>, <chem>, <chess>, <circo>, <fdp>, <feyn>, <go>, <greek>, <graph>, <ling>, <music>, <neato>, <plot>, <ppch>, <schem>, <svg>, <teng>, <tipa>, <twopi> and <pre>

In IE6/7, when I use InsertHTML from outside the FCKEditor, meaning it is not in focus, it always inserts the nodes at the beginning of the page, not at the cursor position...

In FF it works fine.

sample09.html : toolbars don't expand/collapse on focus/blur event.

sample10.html : the toolbar ignores the editor instance which got the focus second.

sample11.html : the toobar ignores the top editor instance.

Cross browser editing is removing <br /> tags. (And I have to ask, why are you even touching <br />s? Isn't that just asking for trouble?)

To reproduce:

In Internet Explorer: 1) Enter text 2) Set font on typed text 3) Press shift+enter (to generate a <br />) 4) Type a second line of text 5) Set font on the new line of text 6) Save the data (in our case, to a database)

In Firefox: 1) Load up the same data generated above 2) Save the data

The text will now be on one line.

I'm *assuming* switching to code view will do the same thing as saving the data, but code view is disabled in our app and I have not tested it.

Hi

thank you for keeping this tool free here is the bug I've found

I use FCKEditor,updated to 2.4.3, on pages written in PHP. The host server is an linux. i have on instance of an editor inside a td tag which has style="display:none", Iuse javascript to change it to style.display="". In IE every thing is ok, but in FireFox, i have vers. 2.0.0.6, after changing display to "" makeing the editor visible, the editor is not "editable" i mean i can't write anything in it

Thank you for your time, if more details is needed contact me

PS: please excuse my english, it's a second language

Ok, this one is a bit tricky to explain, but I will try, I've reproduced this bug several times.

Scenario:

1. Go to nightly build sample01.html with IE7
   
2. Select all text (ctrl-a) press delete.
   
3. Write a sentence
   
4. With cursor inside sentence - press numbered list icon
   
5. Go to end of sentence and press enter and start to write sentence as element number 2
   
6. After writing the sentence press the indentation icon to move the current element to a sub list (1.1)
   
7. Press enter right afterwards
   
8. The next element is not created as a element of this sublist but added as a orphan list element after the main numbered list.
   

Source code created by editor:

<ol>
    <li>qweqweqwe
    <ol>
        <li>qerqerqer</li>
    </ol>
    </li>
</ol>
<p>
<li>&nbsp;</li>
</p>
<blockquote dir="ltr" style="margin-right: 0px"></blockquote>

If you create a template such as:

{{aa
bb}}

In IE6, you will get as wikitext:

{{aa bb}}

Firefox works just fine. Any idea?

Scenario:

1. Using IE7 and goto sample01 i nightly build.
   
2. Create a new table
   
3. Right-click in a cell and select one of the merge commands.
   
4. Nothing happens due to a javascript error
   

Even if the inserted table has a non-empty caption the Caption property is empty.

Fields that accept numbers only don't lose focus if Tab was pressed.

Left and Right Arrows don't work in fields that accept numbers only.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Load sample01.html;
2. Create a table with the default values;
3. Click on any cell and start typing. The text will look like selected, even if the cursor is correctly blinking after it;
4. Click on another cell and type more text. You will have the same results.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open sample01.html;
2. Hit enter at the end of the text to start a new paragraph;
3. Type some text;
4. Click the "New Page" button. Note that the cursor will continue blinking on the previous position, even if the editing are doesn't have the edit focus anymore;
5. Click at the start of the editing area. The real cursor will start blinking there, but the old one will continue there.
6. Hit enter once. The cursor will have a strange blinking effect, and the phantom cursor will disappear (I have the impression that both are in the same position now).
7. Hit enter again. The phantom cursor will reappear one paragraph above the real one, and will follow it for every successive enter.
8. Type some text. We are back to the situation described at point 6.

There is no context menu for images. The default Opera menu is shown instead.

Not something about patents or anything, just the fact that in most cases png can give better compression than gifs, specially if they are processed with a specialized program. A list is available ​http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PNG#File_size_and_optimization_software

Pngcrush was good, but now it seems that it isn't the king. I've tested pngoutwin (trial) and it was able to shrink the fck_strip.gif from 4804 to 2870 bytes, and the toolbar.buttonbg.gif from 829 to 127 (well, and then the remaining gifs processed in the demo did get bigger, so we leave them just as they are)

Of course, the size of the images isn't really a very big deal, but every little detail can help to improve performance.

At this time, going to the demo and typing : é (e acute letter) t (t letter) é (e acute letter) will generate the source : <p>&eacute;t&eacute;</p>

But if my page is unicode compliant (default in XHTML as it is the default in XML to be UTF-8), there is absolutly no reason to do so.

This feature request would make people have the source like : <p>été</p>

And only use the encoding where it is strictly mandatory as per the XML spec ( <, > ... etc). See the XML spec on this one and the XHTML spec to see the possible characters in each context that required or not escaping.

This feature request have impact on all european languages and even possible on other languages (no impact on english as it is ASCII limited ;P ).

I've tried this on the nightly build and it seems that double clicking to make a selection no longer works in the nightly when the focus is not in the fck editor. You now have to select the editor to set the focus, then a double click works to make a word selection.

This is different behaviour and I think constitutes a regression bug.

Make FCKEditor work with MS AJAX UpdatePanel (there are some solutions on the internet, but it would be best if FCKEditor would solve them internally) - see ​http://jlcoady.net/archive/2007/03/30/fckeditor-work-inside-updatepanel

Steps to reproduce (for checkboxes, radiobuttons, etc).

1. Load sample01.html
2. Set the cursor at the end of text.
3. Press Checkbox button on the toolbar. A dialog window will appear.
4. Fill the fields in and press Ok button.

A checkbox has been inserted but Undo button is disabled.

This can be fixed pretty easy by adding the following line in Ok function of the appropriate dialog window (see dialog/fck_table.html for example).

oEditor.FCKUndo.SaveUndoStep() ;

But I wonder if this behaviour is intentional.

The "What's New?" information is not available for the new Style System.

When editing a page, if you follow the "Show Changes" button, the text of the changes that are converted to the html version when it should remain as wikitext. The preview and actual code remain as wikitext, so this appears to be a cosmetic issue for the diff only.
