Extension:FCKeditor (Official)

Intro
This extension enables a more intuitive WYSIWYG editor when editing pages on a MediaWiki-based site. It uses a special version of the FCKeditor WYSIWYG editor that outputs wiki text rather than the usual HTML that caused problems for MediaWiki integrations in the past. See the following link for a working example of this extension in action: http://mediawiki.fckeditor.net/index.php/Main_Page.

It is being jointly developed by the FCKeditor authors and Wikia.

Download and extract necessary files
First of all, you need to install FCKeditor as MediaWiki extension:

Download FCKeditor extension, unpack it and place in the extensions drectory.

Your directory structure should look similar to the following one: |- ..  |- ...   |- FCKeditor |- css |- fckeditor |- plugins |- FCKeditor.body.php |- fckeditor_config.js     |- FCKeditor.i18n.en.php |- ...      |- FCKeditorParser.body.php |- FCKeditorParserOptions.body.php |- FCKeditor.php |- FCKeditorSajax.body.php |- FCKeditorSkin.body.php Please note that inside FCKeditor directory there is another fckeditor directory. FCKeditor holds the whole extension, whilst fckeditor inside holds the rich text editor itself. If you decide some day to upgrade the editor (not the whole MediaWiki extension), remember to extract it into that fckeditor subdirectory.
