FCKeditor and Movable Type

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

I installed the FCKeditor plugin. After which, I updated to FCKeditor 2.6.3 (this required that I update the fckconfig.js file to include the MTDefault toolbar set). I also added the asset upload button, the files for which are available in the FCKeditor plugin SVN repository (but not in the packaged plugin).

Although I think the standard silver and Office2003 skins looks suitable without any modifications, other FCKeditor skins are available. I wonder why no one has made a Movable Type FCKeditor skin? I would love to roll out the FCKeditor and not even have my clients notice the change.

I included only a selection of the possible rich-text editor elements:

  • Bold
  • Italic
  • Underline [perhaps I should rethink this--never use underline on the web]
  • Link
  • Unlink
  • Ordered List
  • Unordered List
  • Outdent
  • Indent
  • Blockquote
  • Left Justify
  • Center
  • Right Justify
  • Justified
  • Image
  • Asset
  • Paste-from-Word
  • Source

I also set FCKConfig.ToolbarCanCollapse = false, which frees up just enough horizontal space so that all the buttons fit on one line (using the silver skin).
