HTMLArea

I have a problem with that. I follow the Info in there. I load it in and it's not working. Like to put it in Story. Here's my Question on that. Do I delete all in the story.php and put HTMLArea in that? Is that right or wrong. That's where I don't understand yet.

Hey,
I think you're trying to hard. I'm also wanting to use HTMLArea, but I'm not going to because it only suports ie and that sucks But I think I know the answer to your question: You'll have to go to the directory of youre theme and at te folowing code between your head tag in header.thtml.
</script>
<script language="Javascript1.2"><!-- // load htmlarea
_editor_url = "/htmlarea/"; // URL to htmlarea files
var win_ie_ver = parseFloat(navigator.appVersion.split("MSIE")[1]);
if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Mac') >= 0) { win_ie_ver = 0; }
if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Windows CE') >= 0) { win_ie_ver = 0; }
if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Opera') >= 0) { win_ie_ver = 0; }
if (win_ie_ver >= 5.5) {
document.write('<scr' + 'ipt src="' +_editor_url+ 'editor.js"');
document.write(' language="Javascript1.2"></scr' + 'ipt>');
} else { document.write('<scr'+'ipt>function editor_generate() { return false; }</scr'+'ipt>'); }
// --></script>
Then you should edit the folowing files:
comment/commentform.thtml for comments
submit/submitlink.thtml for links
submit/submitstory.thtml for stories
(I needed to put this in a code box, because it kept removing the <form> tags :(
<script language="JavaScript1.2" defer>
var config = new Object();
config.toolbar = [ ['fontname'],
['fontsize'],
['bold','italic','underline','strikethrough','separator'],
['justifyleft','justifycenter','justifyright','separator'],
['OrderedList','UnOrderedList','Outdent','Indent','separator'],
['forecolor','backcolor','separator'],
['HorizontalRule','Createlink','htmlmode','popupeditor','separator'],
['about']
];
editor_generate('TEXTAREANAME',config);
</script>
That should work
btw: there's a new version of HTMLArea available that should work with FireFox. I'm going to give that one a try

So, is anyone actually having any luck getting HTMLArea 2.03 or 3.0 working with Geeklog 1.3.9? So far, I've tried both versions, and have had precisely zero luck getting it to work.
This is frustrating because (A) I have several other apps that are working with HTMLArea on the same server, and (
even the examples in the HTMLArea distribution files work without problems.
The whole issue seems to be centered around Geeklog integration. Yes, I have tried tomew's instructions, with no luck.

Yes, GL works fine with HTMLArea 2.03 and following Tom's directions still work correctly.
I have also integrated 3.0 but had some issues and was not able to get it to work locally on my devel desktop (XP) but worked when I moved it to a hosted server for some reason. This was a few months ago now and I have not tried it since.
Make sure you don't have a conflict with some other JS library. I know that fValidate JS library for example has a conflict with HTMLArea 2.03 namespace.

I am running 2.03 and it works fine. I used Tom's instructions and the install went smooth enough.
I could see where it could be very easy to make a mistake though, since it's not your typical install.

Works on http://bressetteskarate.com as well with 1.3.9 - I used Tom's instructions with 1.3.7 and upgraded with no problems. Post some code - lets see what you've got.

HTMLArea 3.0 works on all my sites, English and other languages. I also use the ImageManager plug in. I just don't know how I would be able to live without it. It saves a heaven lot of time. This is how I do it.
I have no codes in my header.thtml because I don't want it to be activated all the time.
I put these codes at the top of admin/story/storyeditor.thtml. You do the same with other pages that has textarea.
<script type="text/javascript">
_editor_url = "/htmlarea/";
_editor_lang = "en";
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/htmlarea/htmlarea.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
//load the ImageManage + Editor plug-in
HTMLArea.loadPlugin("ImageManager");
HTMLArea.loadPlugin("TableOperations");
HTMLArea.loadPlugin("SpellChecker");
</script>
Then at the textarea for IntroText I did a little modification and add the java script as follows:
<textarea name="introtext" id="introtext" cols="98" rows="24" wrap="virtual">{story_introtext}</textarea>
<br>
<script type="text/javascript">
var editor = new HTMLArea("introtext");
// var config = new HTMLArea("content");
var config = editor.config;
config.width = '450px';
config.height = '200px';
editor.registerPlugin(TableOperations);
editor.registerPlugin(SpellChecker);
editor.generate();
</script>
And again at the bodytext area:
<textarea name="bodytext" id="bodytext" cols="98" rows="36" wrap="virtual">{story_bodytext}</textarea><br>
<script type="text/javascript">
var editor = new HTMLArea("bodytext");
// var config = new HTMLArea("content");
var config = editor.config;
config.width = '450px';
config.height = '320px';
editor.registerPlugin(TableOperations);
editor.registerPlugin(SpellChecker);
editor.generate();
</script>
That takes care of the storyeditor.
If this works, I guess you can figure out how to do other non-admin pages giving limited HTMLArea features following the documentation.
It works on both IE and Mozilla. It works on Mozilla better, on IE you might have to refresh it sometimes. If you do the modification according to HTMLArea's forum, you can make it work better with IE, (so that it will come up every time and you don't have to refresh).
I don't have other than these two browsers to test and my users don't go beyond these two browsers.
In case you don't know where I get the ImageEditor, it'shere

YES! This works!! Only one (minor) problem -- and it's probably something that I messed up... For some reason when I save an article, I end up in the /admin/story.php -- with a blank page. Dunno what I could have messed up to cause this. Here's a copy of my storyeditor.php file, if anyone has a clue (I suspect it's pretty simple), I'd love the feedback:

I can probably compare against the original file, and find out where I went wrong -- but it may take a while because of the modifications...so if anyone spots the problem right off, I'd appreciate the help...

I took a quick look and couldn't find anything wrong with the java script itself.
You might want to replace the story.php with a fresh one and see what happen.
And then get a fresh storyeditor.thml and put these codes in again.
Just some easy way to narrow down the problem.

I also get a blank page. However, looking at the blank page source it says this:
<html><head><meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL=http://www.linuxelectrons.com/admin/story.php?msg=9"></head></html>
So the story actually got saved. Just didn't refresh the page.
On another note, I could never get my spell checking working from the server, any pointers in that area as well?
Strange, from my ISP I cannot get zhuo's site. Here is the sourceforge link:

Thanks samstone for your explanation, but I'm still having one problem: links!
If I try to make a link with firefox, a popup opens, but I can't put text in the two fields. If I wan't to make a link with ie, I can put text in those two fields, but my html code doesn't get placed
On the HTMLArea forums I found out there were more users with this problem, but from those threads I can't figure out who to fix it
I really don't know what's wrong, I even downloaded the latest cvs version, but with that nothing works
Any idee on who to fix this?

I don't mind the spelling checker doesn't work, but only for the links.
I'm going to look on there forums to find a solution. I will let you know if I found one.
/edit
I think I got the links working! But I don't know if it was my fault or HTMLArea's. Now I can make links in Firefox and in IE.
You first need to select the tekst that you wan't to make a link of (didn't knew that) and then klick on the link icon. In IE it will work from the first time the popup opens, but in Firefox, you'll need to wait a few seconds or klick some where outside the popup then you can enter tekst.
I also changed some files from cvs:
Don't know if they make a difrence

I just found out there's an editor that could be better then htmlarea. It's FCKeditor, it's much simpler to install and it works like it's suposed to on Firefox!
You can read more about in in this threat.

I had the same problem when I posted articles with HTMLArea or FCKeditor, but only in Firefox, in IE nothing seems to be wrong.
I found out who to fix it. But it's a very dirty way to do so:
You should replace this line (2559) in your lib-common.php
Text Formatted Code
return "<html><head><meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL=$url"></head></html>//n";
to this
Text Formatted Code
return "<html><head><SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">redirTime = "100"; redirURL = "$url"; function redirTimer() { self.setTimeout("self.location.href = redirURL;",redirTime); } </script></head><body onLoad="redirTimer()"></body></html>//n";
From now on Geeklog will use a script to redirect you to the folowing page. In Firefox en ie.
I hope it works for you.
ps: the forum removed som back-slashes, I hope you know where to put them.
