FCKEditor Configuration for 2.2

JIRA

  • This effort is also being followed under SAK-304

Process

  1. 11/21: Managed to get the FCKEditor spellchecker to work using .cgi scripts in Tomcat.
    • Unfortunately, think this small piece of functionality may not justify opening such a big security hole (turning on cgi scripts for the whole instance)
      • Explored whether it might be possible to only open things up for this one script No
      • Explored whether it might be possible to restrict it to a small subsection of the available paths Maybe
      • 11/21: Decided to try replacing the Perl code with a JSP version... Still working on this, but the results look promising if I can get it to compile.
      • 11/22: Have this working in the simplest case... still running into some problems with multiple incorrect words in a single page.
    • Revision 72 11/22: Checked in the current version of the .jsp file and the .cgi file – config settings will need changing to run CGI version... probably very close to getting .jsp version working.
    • Revision 73 11/27: Fixed bugs with spell checking using the new jsp script, modified configuration to use that script. No CGI Servlet should be required any longer.
  2. Revision 78 11/28: Modified the font names under config.js and fckconfig.js, tested in Firefox, IE – note that the symbol fonts may not work intuitively in Firefox, see Mozilla Web Authoring FAQ
