FCKeditor is html based rich textbox. It is used mostly in web applications and it works like Word editor. FCKeditor is also called WYSIWYG editor. It requires no installation on client's computer.

Drupal also supports FCKeditor in his websites. The process of using FCKeditor in Drupal is as follows:

1. Install the FCKeditor module. You can find it here http://drupal.org/project/fckeditor

2. Download latest version of FCKeditor from http://www.fckeditor.net/download. Keep in mind that you have to download FCKeditor (not FCKeditor.Net, it's for ASP.Net, nor FCKeditor Java, it's for Java developers).

3. Unzip the FCKeditor module and place it into drupal/sites/all/modules folder.

4. Unzip the FCKeditor and place it in FCKeditor module's folder, i.e. drupal/sites/all/modules/fckeditor/fckeditor

5. Set the access rights to authenticated and anonymous users by going to Administor->Users->Roles

That's it...enjoy using FCKeditor in your Drupal website. All of your website's textfield will be replaced by FCKeditor's rich textbox. You have the option at runtime to use either FCKeditor or Drupal's core textfield.
