Don't turn off the rewrite engine.
use this.
Step 1.
PHP Code:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1
if the file or directory exists on the server, the link will not be sent to index.php (mapping with controller or action will not be done if file/directory exists on server)
step .2
copy fckeditor to
/js/fckeditor
the str. will be
webroot/js/fckeditor/editor
where webroot (or public_html or htdocs or www) is root directory for external files
step. 3
in view.phtml (view file)
PHP Code:
<?php $this->headScript()->prependFile($this->baseUrl().'/js/fckeditor/fckeditor.js',$type='text/javascript'); ?>
<script type="text/javascript" >
window.onload = function()
{
if(document.getElementById('content_text')) {
var oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor('content_text') ;
oFCKeditor.BasePath = "<?=$this->baseUrl()?>/js/fckeditor/" ;
oFCKeditor.Height = 500;
oFCKeditor.ReplaceTextarea() ;
}
}
</script>
step. 4
In layout.phtml you need to echo the headscript because we have added a headscript prepend file method.
PHP Code:
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<?= $this->headTitle() ?>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen"
href="<?php echo $this->baseUrl();?>/css/style.css" />
<?= $this->headScript() ?>
</head>
caution:
document.getElementById('content_text')
in the view, the textarea has name='content_text' and id='content_text'
look for the name of text area which is to be replaced. You will know this as you give the name for textarea in zend_form.
The javascript will search of this id,
if found it will replace the textarea with fckeditor.
I find this useful because fckeditor.js is loaded only when required.
Step.5
for uploading images be sure to change the directory path in fckeditor/editor/filemanager/connectors/php/config.php
PHP Code:
// Path to user files relative to the document root.
$Config['UserFilesPath'] = '/images/uploads/' ;
I have tried to be as explanatory as possible.
If you encounter any problem, do ask.
Also, there are many different ways to do this. Don't get confused if you see any other method.
