I've just started to build a CP module for FCKeditor.

It is in his first stages. Comments and tests results are welcome.

To use it, you must:

• download and install fckeditor.py
• download and install FCKeditor in a folder called "FCKeditor"
• create 2 folders: "content" and "images". They will be used to store pages and images.
• create a CP config file referencing "content" and "images" as static elements.

  [staticContent]
  content=content
  images=images
  

• Finally, you must tell to FCKeditor that CP is his friends. For that adapt FCKeditor/fckconfig.js like following:

     FCKConfig.ImageBrowser = true ;
  +  FCKConfig.ImageBrowserURL = FCKConfig.BasePath + "filemanager/browser/default/browser.html?Type=Image&Connector=/editor/connector" ;
  -  FCKConfig.ImageBrowserURL = FCKConfig.BasePath + 'filemanager/browser/default/browser.html?Type=Image&Connector=connectors/asp/connector.asp' ;
  

Be careful to align your cpg.root to Connector URL and to remove (or comment) the existing asp Filemanager.

Voila!! Start your CP daemon: python fckeditor.py and browse to localhost:8080/ and follow simple links I've put there.

I've tested it with FCKeditor-2.0RC2 and FCKeditor-2.0RC3 on Gentoo with FireFox-1.0. Following FCKeditor website it works with IE 5.5+, Firefox 1.0+, Mozilla 1.3+ and Netscape 7+.

There is a bug with edit link. The way in which the test.html is written into the page for editing causes Javascript errors. Below is the diff of a fix.
