fckeditor(?) not working in forums (using FF)

[mek]

Hi!

I'm new to sugar and just installed the latest version 4.5c with the forums module. When I try to create a new thread I can enter a title, but the field 'Body' shows no form. This happens in Firefox (Windows and MacOS X). In IE and Safari everything is fine. Is there anybody out there who got the same problem? Or any ideas?

Just to confirm here, on 4.5.0d I get no FCKeditor under Firefox for email and forum editors that should have them while Internet Explorer loads FCKeditor okay.

The demo of FCKeditor at the FCKeditor site:

http://www.fckeditor.net/demo

works for my Firefox however. So this would seem to be pointing strongly to a Sugar config snafu.

Don't know is this will be implicated in the solution to this problem, but an inspection of of the source for the forum edit view shows that the Body label has no closing slot tag. Sometimes browsers react differently to tag nesting problems.

Will keep looking...

I am using FF and can use the FCKeditor in the forums and emails without difficulty. The screen aways starts with the HTML editor buttons "hidden". But when I click on the little arrow, it opens up and I can use it just fine. I am using FF version 1.5.0.7.

However, there seems to be a very irritating bug in the forums module that introduces a question mark whereever there are two blank spaces in a row. See example below:

10/20- Friday

��������� 9am- noon- Session 2� - Vendors, Featured Speakers

Noon- 1:30pm- Lunch

1:30- 5pm- Session 3 - Featured Speakers

��������� 5pm on Team Night������

�

These show up at the end of almost every line, as I am in the habit of putting two spaces between sentences.

Is anyone else getting this?

Best,

Hmmmm.... I have the same FF. But what I get after (in the Forum editor, for example) is the Body label and then zip, nada, a large blank space with nothing displayed where the textarea should be.

Viewing the source however, I see the iframe tag and its content that should be calling the FCKeditor. But there is nothing there but the blank space.

This is strange, as I said, because my browser shows the editor when I go the FCKedutor demo page.

I've identified two problems, one in modules/Threads/DetailView.php and one in modules/Threads/EditView.php

In EditView you need to change FCKeditor paths in the block headed ///////////////// TEXT EDITOR to:

if(file_exists('../include/FCKeditor/fckeditor.php'))

and

include('../include/FCKeditor_Sugar/FCKeditor_Sugar.php')

This fixes the missing message body textarea problem.

In DetailView.php there is a block of html at the foot of the document, with a number of small bits of embedded php - but these bits aren't declared properly. Changing the "<?" tags to "<?php" fixes some issues.
