Using flash node with FCKeditor

Last updated on
30 April 2025

If you are using the FCKeditor module to provide WYSIWYG editing, but switch off the Advanced flash node options then the editor doesn't appear and you can't edit the node content properly.

This was reported as a bug in the issue queue, and the workaround is to exclude two flash node text areas. This stops FCKeditor attaching to them and restores proper behaviour. The steps to fix the error are described in the bug report.

The exclusion isn't necessary if you allow your users to see the advanced settings, although you might still choose to exclude FCKeditor from the flashvars field as formatted text there doesn't make sense!
