I was actually filing the bug to suggest using a symlink *instead* of the apache redirect. The problem with the redirect is that it requires configuring in apache's config, whereas changing the FCKeditor directory into a symlink means that users who don't have access to the server config can do it. In my particular case I had to make a separate fckeditor symlink, and then add "RewriteRule ^moin_static/applets/FCKeditor/(.*) /fckeditor/$1 [last]" to my .htaccess file; but not all users will be able to use mod_rewrite. The symlink makes this additional step unnecessary. Regards, -- Sam Morris <[email protected]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
