I was hoping someone here could take a look at this PHP for me - thank you so much!

Hi Guys,

I am trying to install the fckeditor on a oscommerce website to give me a wysiwyg editor in my descriptions fields

I have come up against numerous errors and have fixed them all, but this one has got me stumped. I've literally spend at least 24 of the last 48 hrs modding the code and trying different things out but its completely beyond me.

Heres the error I'm geting - this is displayed on the page where the description / fckeditor should be:

Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: fckeditor in /home/sites/www.jewelleryfountain.co.uk/public_html/catalog/admin/includes/functions/html_output.php on line 259

and heres the piece of code I think its referring to:

////
// Output a form textarea field fckeditor/editor/_source/classes
function tep_draw_fckeditor($name, $width, $height, $text) {

$oFCKeditor = new fckeditor($name);
$oFCKeditor -> Width  = $width;
$oFCKeditor -> Height = $height;

$oFCKeditor -> BasePath	= 'http://www.jewelleryfountain.co.uk/FCKeditor/';
$oFCKeditor -> Value = $text;

$field = $oFCKeditor->Create($name);

return $field;

}

The fckeditor is located in my root file and I cant find a file that is called fckeditorclass.php (as one person had suggested)- I really am at a loos - and any help will be very very appreciated.

Thanks for taking the time to read this, and a HUGE thank you to anyone who can come up with a solution!

Kelly 🙂

Ok, there is at least one problem here, and possibly a second.

Your first problem is that there is class names are case sensitive. I looked on fckeditor.net, and the name of the class is 'FCKeditor' not 'fckeditor' (note the capitilization difference).

So, where you have

$oFCKeditor = new fckeditor($name);

you actually need

$oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor($name);

The other possible problem is whether or not the source file containing the FCKeditor class has been included in the file in which you create an instance of the class. Since you have not given all the source code for your file, I can't tell.

The file you need to include should be called fckeditor.php, so use

require_once('path to fckeditor.php file')

to include this file. I cannot work out the full path for the require_once for you as I dont know where you have this file.

thank you Robin!!!

in 2 days, many freinds advice, 6 forums and 2 paying answer websites - that was the single most useful answer I have had!

Thank you so much, I really appreciate the reply.

My problem is sort of solved now though - because its for my webiste store and my products are arriving in the morning I just pulled it all out and paid someone a small fortune to install tinymce instead as I just couldnt wait any longer and needed it done by the morning.

I wish I had posted here first!

But I have learned alot - mainly that PHP is case sensitive, and that this forum is definatley the best - this will hopefully prevent me from making many more mistakes in the future and at least I know where to come if I do.
I cant see a rep button to give you rep - but a can say a great big thank you!!!!
THANK YOU!!!!
