Integration step by step

Step 1

Ensure that the fckeditor.py is included in your classpath. Then, at first, import FCKeditor:

import fckeditor

Step 2

Now the FCKeditor is available and ready to use. So, just insert the following code in your page to create an instance of the editor inside a

:

try:

sBasePath = os.environ.get("SCRIPT_NAME")
sBasePath = sBasePath["/fckeditor/"]

oFCKeditor = fckeditor.FCKeditor('FCKeditor1')
oFCKeditor.BasePath = sBasePath
oFCKeditor.Value = """
This is some sample text. You are using FCKeditor.
"""
print oFCKeditor.Create()
except Exception, e:
print e
print """

Step 3

The editor is now ready to be used. Just open the page in your browser to see it at work.

Complete Sample

import cgi
import os

# Ensure that the fckeditor.py is included in your classpath
import fckeditor

# Tell the browser to render html
print "Content-Type: text/html"
print ""

# Document header
print """








"""

# This is the real work
try:
sBasePath = os.environ.get("SCRIPT_NAME")
sBasePath = sBasePath[0:sBasePath.find("_samples")]

oFCKeditor = fckeditor.FCKeditor('FCKeditor1')
oFCKeditor.BasePath = sBasePath
oFCKeditor.Value = """
This is some sample text. You are using FCKeditor.
"""
print oFCKeditor.Create()
except Exception, e:
print e
print """




"""

# For testing your environments
print "
"
for key in os.environ.keys():
print "%s: %s
" % (key, os.environ.get(key, ""))
print "
"

# Document footer
print """



"""

"FCKeditor1" is the name used to post the editor data on forms.
