I really like the FCK Editor, and thought about switching from Tiny Tiny MCE to FCK. I tried it last night, and FCK Editor seems to have conflicts with the Related Links module.

When I installed FCK and tried to use it to update previously-created pages, my Related Links got corrupted. FCKEditor by default wants to put <P> tags at beginning and end of stuff in textareas, I think, and this affected the display of Related Links negatively. The </P> tag shows up as part of the Related Links label, for one thing. Also, when there were multiple Related Links in a node (i.e., a Page), FCKEditor merged them all into one gigantic (and uneditable) mix of links and labels - and then I couldn't delete the corrupted related Links at all. I changed some of the settings, and this change seemed to work going forward, but the previously-corrupted Related Links remained corrupted.

I had to switch back to Tiny Tiny MCE in order to delete the corrupted Related Links, actually.

This is my first Bug Report, and I hope I'm doing it correctly; sincere apologies if not. I searched for this issue on the site but couldn't find it.

Edit FCKeditor Global Profile. Add the following field: edit-relatedlinks-fieldset-relatedlinks to the "Fields to exclude/include" list.

After doing that, correct the page where FCKeditor broken the "related links" section, reedit each link (click on a pen) and remove unwanted <p>, </p> tags.

Let me know if you need any more help and if that did the trick (it worked out on my Drupal installation).

I did do that, after this happened, but was not able to remove the unwanted paragraph tags.

In fact, I couldn't edit or delete these links at all, and had to disable FCKEditor to do so. The corruption to the Related Links happened in any page I edited (even if I wasn't editing the Related Links) after I switched to FCKEditor from TinyTiny MCE. And then, I couldn't fix the RL until I went back to TinyTiny MCE.

(I was wondering if it would be better to default FCKEditor to only become active in Nodes and Comments, or something, and allow people to "opt in" for the WYSIWYG editor on other fields....)

Marking it as fixed by adding edit-relatedlinks-fieldset-relatedlinks to the Global profile. Please reopen this if you can reproduce this issue using the latest dev version of FCKeditor module on a fresh Drupal installation (with the Related Links module installed).

In 6-x.2.x version it will be probably possible to assign FCKeditor to specific content type.

I'll have to try it on a test install, because on my DEV site I'm back to using TinyMCE. Will post again when I get this accomplished.
