[EDIT] Sorry, I got TinyMCE working - but it doesn't support MT's asset upload, which i really need, so i want to try FCKeditor.. however, i can't get it to change.

I have instaleld tinymce and fckeditor to the plugins listing (they both show up) however, when i switch the RichTextEditor line in my mt-config.cgi, FCKeditor never becomes the editor. I have to disable TinyMCE from the plugins folder - but then it just reverts back to MT's rich text editor..

has anyone been able to get FCKeditor to work in MT4.2 - and if so, can you use the built in asset uploader?

I had FCKEditor working in 4.21, but after I upgraded to 4.23 and reinstalled the FCKeditor plugin, I got the same behavior you described (it still uses MT's default rich-text editor). Edit: never mind, I hadn't put the plugins directory in the correct place.

The MT-FCKEditor plugin v1.2 does not include a separate asset uploader, although you can upload assets using the image uploader.

FYI, I now have the FCKeditor working in MT 4.23 with the asset uploader.

1. Install the FCKeditor plugin
2. Update FCKeditor to the latest version
3. Add files for asset uploader (the mtfunction directory) -- these files are not included in the plugin download
4. Add FCKConfig.ToolbarSets["MTDefault"] back to the fckconfig.js config file (overwritten by the latest FCKeditor)
5. Update the fckconfig.js config file with the changes shown on Changeset 1091

I'm not sure why the FCKeditor plugin download doesn't include all the necessary code, since they are in the SVN repository (with the exception of the latest FCKeditor).
