I've used the FCKeditor quite a bit, but I got used to using it before the
cftextarea option came along, so my sample here won't directly translate to the
cf8 implementation, but a little futzing should yield the same results.
With FCKeditor installed, an editor object can be instantiated thusly:
<cfscript>
fckEditor = createObject("component", "path.to.FCKeditor.fckeditor");
fckEditor.instanceName = "myFCK";
fckEditor.value = htmContent;
fckEditor.basePath = "/path/to/FCKeditor/";
fckEditor.width = 420;
fckEditor.height = 300;
fckEditor.Config["EditorAreaCSS"] = "/siteRoot/css/fck.css"; //the css to apply
to the container's contents
fckEditor.toolbarset = 'CustomToolbar'; // corresponds to config in the js
file referenced below
fckEditor.Config["CustomConfigurationsPath"] = "/siteRoot/scripts/fck-cfg.js";
fckEditor.create();
</cfscript>
The fck-cfg.js file will contain:
FCKConfig.ToolbarSets["CustomToolbar"] = [
//buttons go here. check fckeditor.net site for options
]
Hope this helps.
