Missing FCKeditor

[MJ606]

I just added the $FCKEDITOR_URL to the .dada_files file, thinking that it must belong there--again no joy.

Maybe I am in the wrong file but after the auto-install I am in the hidden .data_files file. The program URL from that file is:
$PROGRAM_URL = 'http://embodydancesantafe.org/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi';
I added right below it:
$FCKEDITOR_URL ||= 'http://embodydancesantafe.org/fckeditor';
(also tried $FCKEDITOR_URL = 'http://embodydancesantafe.org/fckeditor';)

The error message comes from the admin panel in Dada Mail "Manage List Control Panel=>options" where you turn on the checkbox for using the editor. Above that is a line/link that says :
FCKeditor is currently configured in Dada Mail at: http://embodydancesantafe.org/fckeditor

Click on that and you get the error message in question.

Click on that and you get the error message in question.

OK. That doesn't have anything to do with Dada Mail. That just means that your web server has the directory listing stuff turned off, if you dont' have your own index page.

That's not how you're going to access FCKeditor in Dada Mail, though - the FCKeditor is going to be located in the, "Send a List Message" screen, under the, "HTML Version" fieldset (you may have to expand it), as well as the, "Send a Webpage" screen.

Just double-checking, I know you've tried to look at it directly, but did you look at it from within Dada Mail?

[MJ606]

Yes, as soon as I turn down the HTML message box, with FCKEditor enabled through the checkbox that we were just speaking about, the HTML box is grayed out and can't be clicked in or any text entered, just as the first fellow was describing.

I have installed Dada Mail on at least 50 web sites but this is the first time that I am trying to enable FCKEditor because the person that will be sending the email is totally non-html savvy.

[MJ606]

Well...for reasons unknown the editor is now working. I didn't change anything...it is just working where before the html text-entry box was not functioning. Thank you for your help. I just wish I knew why suddenly it is working when all day it wasn't, just so I can fix it in future installations.

I'm having same problem -- not getting an edit box appear in HTML , despite having followed instructions and suggestions from a number of places (all which point to basically the same thing, which I did). Maybe you can see what I'm not seeing.

In the Manage List Control Panel > Options > FCKeditor (enabled) I get : FCKeditor is currently configured in Dada Mail at: http://www.unusualleading.com/fckeditor

$PROGRAM_URL ='http://www.xxxxxx.com/public_html/dadamail/mail.cgi';
$FCKEDITOR_URL ||='http://www.xxxxxx.com/fckeditor';

Did the spacing thing. No joy.

A few screen shots attached, may help to pinpoint my mistake.

Much appreciated!

Do you get any Javascript Errors, when you access the, "Send a List Message" screen?

At least in Firefox, you can go to: Tools -> Error Console and see if there's anything being written. You'll probably want to be interested in any lines that deal with your domain, or with FCKeditor specifically.

Thanks for getting back so promptly.

This morning I did a complete re-install of both Dadamail and FCKeditor, altered the config file same as before. Same results, no HTML.

No, I did not get any Javascript errors when accessing the Send a List Message. It all looks normal, except there is no textbox or edit text box for HTML (see attached).

I've been using Safari for this process. I switched to Firefox, and oddly it won't even let me into the site using either the Root or List passwords. No problem logging in with Safari using same pw.

Don't know if it makes a difference, but I install Dadamail using SimpleScripts in Bluehost.

Thank for working on this.

I went into Error Console in Safari and did find this :

ReferenceError: Can't find variable: FCKeditor

[justin]

I wonder if FCkeditor is actually supported by Safari (or, the other way around, I guess). I know that this wasn't always the case. Is this working for you in FireFox?

[TaipeiLeon]

Using my Mac previously I could not even log into Dadamail using Firefox. That was odd.

I jumped over to my PC and tried Firefox & IE. Both returned the same result as when I use Safari (on my Mac)--the HTML box and text box does not appear.
