FCKeditor

FCKeditor can be downloaded from a link available at the home page:

http://www.fckeditor.net

The default FCKeditor requires an ODS-5 volume due to the use of multiple periods in file names. As of version 2.5 and 2.6 it also has embedded BOM sequences (unicode.org/faq/utf_bom.html#BOM) in some files that need to be removed (the utility STRIP_BOM_CR.C in the VWcms source code directory can do this).

There is also a modified version suitable for immediate use with VWcms (unnecessary functionality removed) on an ODS-2 volume, available from the same download site as the VWcms kit.

WASD Configuration

The editor must be mapped into server-space. Which of the following rules and to which part of the physical file-system depends on site requirements.

# HTTPD$MAP
pass /fckeditor/* /dka0/fkceditor260/*
#pass /fckeditor/* /dka0/fkceditor260_ods2/*

MIME Types

The following file types must be mapped to MIME types by the server:

File Type MIME Type

.HTML text/html

.JS text/JavaScript

.XML text/xml

Updating

When updating the release of FCKeditor remember that browsers cache Web content and the files comprising FCKeditor are no different. Of course a browser should be set to, and should, periodically revalidate its cache content. However it's highly likely that unless a browser's cache is explicitly purged after an upgrade a mix of old and new components may produce unexpected and undesirable results! Caution!
