I'm relatively new to posting in the forums, so bear with me (hope I'm in the right place);

I am using Drupal 6 and all current versions of '

CCK
FCKeditor
Views
Date

I assembled a simple Event Content type, retaining the default body textarea as the event description. I then created several nodes, and created a page view hoping to show only the teaser from the body (inserted using the tag inserted by the toolbar). Of course, it is not working, I am getting the full body text in the page view. I have tried using both the Node : Teaser field and the Node: Body field, thinking that maybe one would need the Body in the view with the manual teaser break for everything to work.

I have checked everything I can think of from the display fields tab in Edit Content Type, through to FCKeditor to see if it was a problem there, down through views. I finally did a print_r($node) printout and it seems that the 'teaser' variable isn't even being set, so I am really not clear what is going on.

Can somebody tell me what I am missing? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

That can prevent a teaser from being generated for a node. Can you check the database to see if the teaser is being saved there? Also, are you using CKEditor, which is the latest?

I installed CKeditor and I don't find a button to create the break.

Sorry, false alarm. After spending two hours trying to figure out what was wrong, now, for some reason, now the teaser is working. Maybe the sun was shining the wrong way that day or something.

I'm using a FCKedtor, which still shows in the status update as up to date (no rec to upgrade to CKEditor). Is CKeditor a recommended upgrade in the community? Is the setup / install more or less the same as FCKEditor? If you have a linK would appreciate it.

Thanks for your feedback.
