FCKeditor
The following explains how to incorporate FCKeditor using Code Igniter's 1.4x Libraries.
Place your FCKeditor files in your CI base directory (in this example I've put the files under a folder called plugins).
Copy FCKeditor's PHP connector class (/FCKeditor/fckeditor.php) to your application's libraries folder (/system/application/libraries), edit 'fckeditor.php' and add the following line to the top:
[code] if (!defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed'); [/code]
Now create an initialization file that corresponds to your FCKeditor PHP connector class. In your 'application/init' folder create a file called 'init_fckeditor.php' and add the following code:
[code] <?php if (!defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
if ( ! class_exists('FCKeditor')) { require_once(APPPATH.'libraries/fckeditor'.EXT); }
$obj =& get_instance(); $obj->fckeditor = new FCKeditor('FCKEDITOR1'); $obj->ci_is_loaded[] = 'fckeditor'; ?> [/code]
The FCKeditor connector class should now be available in CI. Now simply load the library from your controller using:
[code] $this->load->library('fckeditor'); [/code]
And in your view file load the FCKeditor using the following:
[code] $this->fckeditor->BasePath = base_url() . '/plugins/fckeditor/'; $this->fckeditor->Value = 'This is some sample text. You are using FCKeditor.' ; $this->fckeditor->Create() ; [/code]
That's it! Hope this helps.
