FCKEditor in ZF installation problem

iroy2000 · #1 (**permalink**) 03-21-2008, 09:28 PM

Hi,

I was trying to install the fckeditor with ZF. But I got an exception , looks like ZF is looking for a controller for that...

Unexpected Exception:
XXXController::editorAction() does not exist and was not trapped in __call()

Thanks for any help!

LOL. I replied my own post.

The problem was solved, you need to turn off the rewrite engine in your fckeditor directory, and then specify your basepath when creating the fckeditor object. And it should work like a champ!!

So I leave the answer here just in case someone need it in the future ~~

Thanks for coming back and adding the resolution. I'm sure others will find it very useful when google returns this thread for them.

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.
