Bad Archive?
I think that the download file for the extension is corrupt. Not all the files are included and the archive gives errors upon extracting. - Kelsey


 * Hey Kelsey I also got corrupted archive messages. Got around this by getting the latest winrar release. Maybe this can help you? - cappelleh

Media Wiki 1.11.1
Has anyone had any joy get this to work with version 1.11.1. Was working version 1.10.1. I've made the changes to the pages in the new version, but with no joy.

Yeah it works for me!


 * With version 1.11 (at: http://www.orza.cl) its not working and even converted good in bad code (Category text)....--Horst Salzwedel 22:17, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

It works with 1.10, 1.11 and 1.12 out of the box.

broken categories and table headers
The current version 10 Dec. 07 broke down categories and table headers.

all tables with ! cells was replaced by | cells

Fixed

maintained?
Is this extension being maintained. I have been looking at the bug tracking over at http://dev.fckeditor.net/report/12 and nothing seems to be progressing. Bugs keep piling up but I never see any go away.

No, this project is dead
You can say for sure that this Extension is dead. Open bugs for nearly 5 months without a comment or reply from the developers. If you need a wiki with WYSIWYG, better try something like DekiWiki or use a good CMS with WYSIWYG built-in.

No, this project is NOT dead
It hasn't been updated for a while and bugs aren't fixed immediately, but this project will be continued.

Broken with new parser in 1.12a
I have converted the extension to use wfLoadExtensionMessages. I found it to be broken with 1.12a in any case. 12891 created. Too hardcore for me to fix. Siebrand 10:14, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Fixed. It works with 1.12.

Is it possible to use extensions?
Is it possible to use CategoryTree extensions?

What must be change to integrate my own extensions?

It works with other extensions (at least it should), no additional changes required.

Language?
Is it possible to change language from to my native tounge?

Never mind. I found where to edit the language option, located in 'fckeditor_config.js'

Work
This extension is a wonderful idea and a great achievement way beyond my comprehension, but as a user I think I can tell you this much: it still needs some serious work done. Well, that's unless there's an solution to the following issues:


 * How do you copypaste tables?
 * When it comes to large articles priorly crated, after one edit, it turns the links and images into some sort of programming languaje.

Incompatibility with MW 1.12.0rc1
I confirm the incompatibility of the FCKeditor with MediaWiki 1.12.0rc1.

Because the bug has already been reported with MW 1.12a, it must be a bug with the new preprocessor.

The wiki is working well, but the edit pages are fully blank.

Fixed. Download the latest version.

How to add the other buttons of FCKeditor ?
Hello, does anybody knows how to insert the others buttons of FCKeditor (Text Color, Font size, font type etc) ? I am using the released MediaWiki 1.12.

Answer: open  and search for , you can add your own buttons there (for a list of available buttons, take a look into   and search for  ). Please be aware that not all buttons may work as expected due to the differences between wiki syntax and HTML.

What is the difference?
What is the difference between this extension and the one by Mafs?

Note that the rewrite rules must include both extensions/FCKeditor and Extensions/FCKeditor unfortunately. Jean-Lou Dupont 15:32, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

saves HTML instead of wikitext
Using mediawiki-1.12.0 and SVN version downloaded as tar.gz archive. Fixed the Toolbar set bug (add  to LocalSettings.php as per bug in Mafs version), and converted DOS files to Unix, but FCKeditor saves HTML instead of wiki text. Any ideas? --199.46.245.237 17:42, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Found the bug: three cruft Unicode characters should be removed from the beginning of, remove the   from  , and all is well. Now to customize. For info, the first three lines of that file read like this to a Unixy environment:

HTML corruption on sectional edits
If you have the following code: and edit just Heading A, your divs will be rewritten to contain character entities around them (ampresand)lt; (sorry, I don't know how to write that without it converting the text)

This rewrite can affect code throughout your article. You can revert to the normal MediaWiki editor in this case by changing the onEditPageShowEditFormInitial function within FCKeditor.body.php to contain the following I'm sure there are more things I should ignore like hr, but I just wanted to whip something together - feel free to update this code
