FCKeditor 2.6.4 released!

[fredck]

The stabilization of FCKeditor 2.6.4 Beta has been completed successfully. We are proud to come with a brand new version of our editor, ready for production use.

As of this version, we're offering the WebSpellChecker integration, a zero-installation solution for spell checking provided by SpellChecker.net. You will now have a wonderful spell checker running out of the box, requiring no server side installations and configurations.

Several bug fixes and new features have been added, especially to our table support, including the ability of defining header rows and columns to tables. Special thanks to Alfonso Martinez and Koen Willems for their support on this.

We'll be now concentrating all our efforts on CKEditor 3.0. Stay in touch... you will certainly enjoy it!

I have successfully installed FCKeditor 2.6.4 on my Drupal 6.9 development site having first read the piece by Jonathan Brinley at:
http://xplus3.net/2008/05/29/how-to-install-fckeditor-on-drupal/#comment-483

Here's a demo:

I'll edit this post if I have any further comments to make.

Hi there, just found a bug in the markup generated from this fabulous editor:
--- FCKeditor generates the following-------

Code: Select all

<table ....>
    <thead>
        <tr>
            <th scope="col">1</th>
            <th scope="col">2</th>
        </tr>
    </thead>
    <caption>My Caption</caption>
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td>...</td>
            <td>...</td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>


Sadly, the caption is in the wrong place!

----The following would be the correct markup-----

Code: Select all

<table ....>
    <caption>My Caption</caption>
    <thead>
        <tr>
            <th scope="col">1</th>
            <th scope="col">2</th>
        </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td>...</td>
            <td>...</td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>


I'm going to try and fix this, but if some of the core developers could take a look at it... I guess they will manage to fix it in a few minutes

Thanks,
William Ghelfi

Going further with my tests, I just found that the bug doesn't show up if you use MSIE7.
My conclusions:
- the problem is strictly related to the browser and its "DOM engine"
OR
- the problem is inside the portion of code dedicated to gecko

Waiting for some news

@trumbitta, it looks like you have found one of those rare cases were the IE DOM is a bit smarter than FF's.

We need a ticket for it though. These forums are the wrong place for handling bugs. Please open a ticket at our dev site, including all the information you have precisely described here.

Thanks!

zero-installation solution for spell checking

... and what about a runtime spell checking solution?

Nice to see that while I created my project yesterday, you were looking for a spell checker at the end of January ... sorry if I am late

Jokes a part, I hope you'll find my project interesting. Best Regards

Thanks in advance

For fix this problem only its necessary move at block of code in /editor/dialog/fck_table.html.

Move:

Code: Select all

var eCaption = oEditor.FCKDomTools.GetFirstChild( table, 'CAPTION' ) ;

   if ( document.getElementById('txtCaption').value != '')
   {
      if ( !eCaption )
      {
         eCaption = oDoc.createElement( 'CAPTION' ) ;
         table.insertBefore( eCaption, table.firstChild ) ;
      }

      eCaption.innerHTML = document.getElementById('txtCaption').value ;
   }
   else if ( bExists && eCaption )
   {
      // TODO: It causes an IE internal error if using removeChild or
      // table.deleteCaption() (see #505).
      if ( oEditor.FCKBrowserInfo.IsIE )
         eCaption.innerHTML = '' ;
      else
         eCaption.parentNode.removeChild( eCaption ) ;
   }


after the line

Code: Select all

oEditor.FCK.InsertElement( table ) ;
}

before return;


The problem is that the caption properties its define at the begining of OK function and after the code use the FCKDomTools.GetFirstChild method for put the headers and caption are replace to down position.
