I created a CCK file field image. When I upload an image, it shows the Send to Text Area button, but it doesn't work, nothing is sent. I've tried switching to a plain text editor as other messages suggest, but still nothing at all is inserted, not even empty code.

This is a website I inherited that uses FCKEditor as a standalone module (not with WYSIWYG). The client has a different website that has FCKEditor with WYSIWYG, and they use a cck file field for images to upload an image just as I've set it up, and it works. They want the same on this site I inherited. Is there any way to make this work without uninstalling FCKEditor, then reinstalling it in WYSIWYG? It's a live, active site, so I'd prefer as quick and simple a solution as possible.

I have FCKEditor 6.x-2.0-beta1 and FileField Insert 6.x-1.x-dev from 2009-05-13.

Does anyone know the answer to this question? When I click the "Send to text area" button, the following JavaScript error appears:

Line: 131
Char: 10
Error: 'fckActiveId" is undefined
Code: 0
URL: ...node/add/page

It would be really nice if this actually worked since the project page says it supports FCKEditor.

Insert *should* work with FCKeditor as a stand-alone module, though make sure you're using the latest version of it. There were patches filed about 6 months ago with the FCKeditor project to make it work with Insert, which have all been applied, but if you're running an earlier version of the FCKeditor module it may not work.

FCKeditor beta1 was released back in March of 2009 (nearly a year old). My patch to make Insert work with FCKeditor (#445878: Add a "fckActiveId" variable for the active editor) was applied in May of 2009. Gotta keep up to date if you want to use new modules!
