Wouldn't calling something like strip_tags on the data when you don't want the formatting do the trick?

Hi , I had integrated the plugin successfully and it looks awesome. But I have got a problem while saving the inline edited data and saving it and then reproducing it back. Ok let me try to make it more clear : COnsider I have to save "ABC" I add styles using the FCK editor like "

ABC

" So now when i save the above text with the styles get saved . I need to reproduce the styled text at some places whereas show the non styled data at other instances . Do let me know what we can do. Thanx a lot!!! JON

The rake task should be included with the plugin - you can verify the file exists by looking for fckeditor_tasks.rake in /vendor/plugins/fckeditor/tasks.

I’m not sure why this wouldn’t be working for you – however I notice from this comment on Scott’s blog that you’re not alone so hopefully Scott will be able to shed some light on this.

Hi Rob,

When I ran this command, rake fckeditor:install I get this error message rake aborted! Don't know how to build task 'fckeditor:install'

I already did "cd" to the rails root app Do you know what's wrong?

Thanks a lot.

Hi Jimmy,

Well I tried to reproduce the problem you’re having but failed. I created a new Rails application, installed Scott’s plugin, ran rake fckeditor:install and then created a scaffold. I added the necessary javascript to the layout and updated the form template and it all just worked.

It’s worth pointing out that you don’t actually need my helper in your template because you’re using a field tied to a model. I just used the helper from the plugin like this:

<%= fckeditor_textarea("inventory", "summary", :toolbarSet => 'Simple', :width => '100%', :height => '200px') %>

Sorry I can’t be more helpful,
Rob

Hi Rob,
Rails version: 1.2.5. Yes, FCKeditor Plugin 0.4.2. Yes. I do have Fckeditor

_form.rhtml

<p><label for="summary">Summary</label><br/>
<%= text_area 'inventory', 'summary'  %></p>
inventory = object
summary = field

In the controller:

def update
  @inventories = Inventory.find(params[:id])
  if @inventory.update_attributes(params[:inspection])
    flash[:notice] = 'Inventory was successfully updated.'
    redirect_to :action => 'show', :id => @inventory
  else
    render :action => 'edit'
  end

FCKeditor Plugin 0.4.2 downloaded from Scott. There are several files in lib folder like fckeditor.rb, fkeditor_file_utils.rb etc. I don't get what these files.

Thanks

Hey Jimmy, here are a few questions for you:

What version of Rails are you using?
Are you using the latest version of the FCKEditor plugin?
Do you have an fckeditor folder in public/javascripts?
What did the original text field code that was generated by the scaffold look like?

Hi Rob,

I generate the field by scaffolding. I would like to have textareas integrated with FCK. Can you show me how? Also, when users input data into the textarea, the data should be updated in the database.

I have placed your helper code into the applicationhelper.rb.Then I replace the text field generated by scaffolding by the fckeditortextarea_tag you provided. I got the follow error: no route found to match "/javascripts/fckeditor/editor/fckeditor.html" with {:method=>:get}

My _form.rhtml look like

<label>Comments FCK</label>
<%= fckeditor_textarea_tag 'my_comment_object', h('comments_field'), id => 'text_area_id', :cols => '55', :rows => '15'%>

id => 'textareaid' What would id be?

Thank you! jimmy

Hi Scott,

Yes you're very welcome to add it into your next release - glad I could help.

I also considered adding, but didn't get around to coding, support for a size option so for example you could then say :size => '10x10' instead of having to specify the rows and columns separately.

Not a particularly exciting new feature but it would make the helper work more like the standard Rails text area helper.

Thanks again for the plugin,
Rob

Hi Rob,

This looks good, I had completely forgotten about that request. If its ok with you can I stick it in the next release of the plugin?

Cheers Scott
