Hi!
Inside the FCKEditor plugin configuration you need to enter the relative HTTP path to the FCKEditor directory after the serendipity directory. That means all paths after
http://yourhost/serendipity/ (like "plugins/serendipity_event_fckeditor/fckeditor/").
HTH,
Garvin

The full string goes up in the box and it looks good. I have WYSISWYG turned on in PERSONAL SETTINGS. It looks like something happens because I lose both the SERENDIPITY edtior which is replaced by a completely optionless edtior.
In the fck directory there is no index.php file, only a fckeditor.php.
Would that have anything to do with this?
And now since we resolved the login problem, perhaps all my editor problems with the serendipity ones is FIREFOX related rather than SERENDIPITY related... But thats a problem for 20% if my users. And the ones using FF are techy enough to also be the ones more likely to add entries without being sore afraid!

i'm facing the same problem.
if i use "plugins/serendipity_event_fckeditor/FCKeditor" as relative path i get an editor without any options
and if i use "plugins/serendipity_event_fckeditor/FCKeditor/" (with a slash at the end)
i get my "blogs frontpage" in the small editor window called "entry body" and in the "extended body" too..
(maybe because that's my redirect for 404 ?!?)
i installed fckeditor via spartacus, and uploaded the fckeditor files to a subdirectory "FCKeditor".
everything is set to chmod 777.
i set the relative path to the folder FCKeditor and i have the wysiwyg editor option set to yes in my personal settings.
it just doesn't work....
what am i doing wrong ?

ok, i just found this one :
http://www.s9y.org/forums/viewtopic.php ... r+htaccess
i created that .htaccess containing "Rewriteengine Off" manually, put it in the "plugins/serendipity_event_fckeditor/" directory and now it works fine.

Settled the problem.
It was because the FCK plugin used capital FCK and my server changed it to fck. Simple ones are the most annoying.

How many hours wasted on something so basic...
