@Chris – I am not aware about loading a custom template by default. But there could be an API that FCKEditor exposes that does this for you. Perhaps you could try asking users on the FCKEditor forums.

@Doug- We will take a look at the new CKEditor in our planning for the next version.

@garence – Setting this is not exposed through the CFTEXTAREA tag.

@Ian – CF9 has version 2.6.4.1 of FCKEditor.

What is the latest combinations of ColdFusion and FCKEditor / CKEditor please?

Thanks in advance.

I am trying to associate a stylesheet to a cftextarea that has its richtext attribute set to true, much like what the following declaration did via FCKeditor:

fckEditor.config["EditorAreaCSS"] =
“/css/fckeditor.css”;

How do I accomplish this same thing with cftextarea?

Any talk of moving to the newer version of FCKeditor —> CKEditor?

@Nicole: You could set the value of the rich text editor using the ColdFusion.RichText.setValue(editorName, value). Setting it to empty would clear the field.

I’m using cftextarea with richtext = “yes” and html = “yes”; when I click the form’s reset button (whether using the input or cfinput tag), the cftextarea fields are not reset (i.e. cleared). Do anyone know how I can resolve this?

You can create custom templates that the end user can open and use by clicking the Templates button in the toolbar and selecting from the list.

Rather than having the user have to click the Templates button, I would rather have a custom template load automatically when the cftextarea first loads.

@Chris: I am not sure I got your question right. Can you explain a bit more?

I stumbled upon this post while doing some research and thought you might be able to help.

Is there a way to load a template when the page/form initially loads without the user having to go through the process of clicking the templates button and then selecting the template?

The CF docs don’t have any mention of it (that I could find) but it seems like it would be a useful feature.

There is a vulnerability for ColdFusion’s fckeditor. Make sure you patch it by going to Adobe’s site. http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb09-09.html
