Version 2.0

New Features and Improvements:

• The new "Flash" command is available. Now you can easily handle Flash content, over IE and Gecko, including server browser integration and context menu support. Due to limitations of the browsers, it is not possible to see the preview of the movie while editing, so a nice "placeholder" is used instead. *
• A "Quick Upload " option is now available in the link, image and flash dialog windows, so the user don't need to go (or have) the File Browser for this operations. The ASP and PHP uploader are included. Take a look at the configuration file.***

• It is now possible to disable the size handles for images and tables (IE only feature). Take a look at the DisableImageHandles and DisableTableHandles configuration options.

• [SF BUG-1085034] [SF BUG-1076796] Some bugs in the PHP connector have been corrected.
• A problem with the "Format" command on IE browsers on languages different of English has been solved. The negative side of this correction is that due to a IE bad design it is not possible to update the "Format" combo while moving throw the text (context sensitive).
• On Gecko browsers, when selecting an image and executing the "New Page" command, the image handles still appear, even if the image is not available anymore (this is a Gecko bug). When clicking in a "phanton" randle, the browser crashes. It doesn't happen (the crash) anymore.

• [SF BUG-1077747] The missing images on the Office2003 and Silver skins are now included in the package.

• [SF BUG-1004078] ColdFusion: The "config" structure/hash table with keys and values is in ColdFusion not(!) case sensitive. All keys returned by ColdFusion are in upper case format. Because the FCKeditor configuration keys must be case sensitive, we had to match all structure/hash keys with a list of the correct configuration names in mixed case. This has been added to the fckeditor.cfc and fckeditor.cfm.
• [SF BUG-1075166] ColdFusion: The "fallback" variant of the texteditor (<textarea>) has a bug in the fckeditor.cfm. This has been fixed.

• A minimal browse server sample is now available in ASP. Thanks to Andreas Barnet.

Version 1.4

• ATTENTION: For PHP users: The editor was changed and now uses htmlspecialchars instead of htmlentities when handling the initial value.

• A new method is available for PHP users. It's called ReturnFCKeditor. It works exactly like CreateFCKeditor, but it returns a string with the HTML for the editor instead of output it (echo). This feature is useful for people who are working with Smarty Templates or something like that. Thanks to Timothy J. Finucane.
• Many people have had problems with international characters over PHP. I had also the same problem. PHP have strange problems with character encoding. The code hasn't been changed but just saved again with Western European encoding. Now it works well in my system.

  • German (de)

Version 1.1

The editor automatically detects the client language and sets all labels, tooltips and dialog boxes to it, if available. The auto detection and the default language can be set in the fck_config.file.
• Two files can now be created to isolate customizations code from the original source code of the editor: fckeditor.config.js and fckeditor.custom.js. Create these files in the root folder of your web site, if needed. The first one can be used to add or override configurations set on fck_config.js. The second one is used for custom actions and behaviors.
• A problem with relative links and images like "/test/test.doc" has been solved.

• [SF BUG-712103] The style command is localized, so it depends on the IE language to work. Until version 0.9.5 it was working only over English IE browsers. Now it configures itself using the client's language.
