window.CKEDITOR_BASEPATH ignored

[Maciej Wiercinski]

I'm using PHP5 object to generate CKEditor instances. The resulting HTML is:

<script type="text/javascript">//<![CDATA[
window.CKEDITOR_BASEPATH='http://<url>/plugins/ckeditor/';
//]]></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://<url>/plugins/ckeditor/ckeditor.js?t=A1QD"></script>

Not sure why's that a case, but in some circumstances window.CKEDITOR_BASEPATH is not visible from scope of the ckeditor.js (verified by alerting that variable, comes as undefined).

We've got around it by declaring it twice:

$ svn diff ckeditor_php5.php 
Index: ckeditor_php5.php

-			$out .= $this->script("window.CKEDITOR_BASEPATH='". $ckeditorPath ."';");
+			$out .= $this->script("window.CKEDITOR_BASEPATH='". $ckeditorPath ."';var CKEDITOR_BASEPATH='". $ckeditorPath ."';");
 		}
 
 		$out .= "<script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"" . $ckeditorPath . 'ckeditor.js' . $args . "\"></script>\n";

That sounds really weird. Can you please provide us a test page we can use to confirm it?

That issue was caused by our internal JScript combiner, and it is not a CKEditor bug.
