 | Nicola | nicolamori@aol.com | Question | Linux | 2.9.2 | Re: WYSIWYG editor for Elog not working in Debian Jessie | Hi Andreas, I opted for the first solution since the Debian package, although outdated and broken, has some goodies like a systemd unit for managing the daemon which is very handy. I downloaded FCKeditor 2.6.11 from SourceForge (after a long search, seems that CKeditor made its parent almost disappear from the web), unpacked it in the proper folder and not the WYSIWYG editor works. I have just a couple of minor issues: there is no attachment drop area (I had it in my old Debian 6 server) and the editor toolbar has an ugly "Windows 95" look; see the attached image. I can live with these problems but if the can be easily fixed then obviously I would do that, can you give me any hint? Thank you very much.

Hi Nicola,
this appears to be a particular problem of the specific (outdated) ELOG debian package.
But you could just download the FCKeditor directly and install it to the proposed location "/usr/share/fckeditor".
Or you download ELOG 3.1.1 and give it a try to install it with the makefile.
Cheers, Andreas

I suspect that this might be a Debian packaging issue; however no one replied to my help request on the Debian forums so I try posting the question also here. I insatlled Elog on my Debian Jessie machine, I can open it with a browser but when entering a new post just a simple plain text editing box is shown instead of the WYSIWYG editor, and no drag and drop area for attachments is shown. When I start the elog service with "systemctl start elog" I get this suspect message in the journal: "FCKedit NOT detected". Indeed, I see that the elog installation creates a symlink which I guess is supposed to point to the fckeditor installation, which nevertheless is missing:
root@static-3-080:/usr/share/elog/scripts# ll fckeditor
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Oct 25 2014 fckeditor -> ../../fckeditor
root@static-3-080:/usr/share/elog/scripts# ll ../../fckeditor
ls: cannot access ../../fckeditor: No such file or directory
Is this a Deban misconfiguration or a bug in Elog? thanks

| Stefan Ritt | stefan.ritt@psi.ch | Question | Linux | 2.9.2 | Re: WYSIWYG editor for Elog not working in Debian Jessie | Elog 3.x comes with CKeditor, not FCKeditor any more! I would actually recommend to use the CKeditor from the current Elog 3.1.1 source package if running together with Elog 3.1.1.

| Andreas Luedeke | andreas.luedeke@psi.ch | Question | Linux | 2.9.2 | Re: WYSIWYG editor for Elog not working in Debian Jessie | Hi Nicola,
as Stefan pointed out: the debian package that you are using is from an outdated ELOG version and not supported anymore. I can't help you with that.
Is somebody out there that created a 3.1.x version debian package?
Cheers, Andreas

| Nicola | nicolamori@aol.com | Question | Linux | 2.9.2 | Re: WYSIWYG editor for Elog not working in Debian Jessie | Hi Andreas, understood. I found a 3.1.0 package for Debian unstable but it won't install on Jessie since it depends on a newer version of openssl, and it seems to not have a systemd unit (not sure about that, though). I can live with my old version now that the WYSIWYG editor works, and in the meantime I'll keep my eyes open for a brave soul who would eventually package a newer elog version for Jessie.
Thanks again for the support.

Hi all,
I'm experiencing an issue on Kubuntu 24.04 where the WYSIWYG editor (in HTML mode) doesn't appear at all. This happens across multiple browsers (tested with Firefox and Chromium). The editor area is simply blank, without any visible toolbar or editable content area.
Has anyone encountered this on Kubuntu or found a workaround? Any tips would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Pawel

Thanks for the message! I’ve downloaded CKEditor version 4.22, since newer versions are no longer fully open source and come with restrictive licensing. I now have the full CKEditor 4.22 package locally, but I’m not quite sure what the next step is. Should I place it somewhere specific in the ELOG directory structure or modify one of the templates to enable it? Any pointers on how to connect it properly to ELOG would be very helpful.
Best regards,
Pawel

Has sombody an idea, how to improve the Elog like this?
Best regards |
Well, all this is possible with ELCode tags, as you can see below. The advantage is that you can enter these tags with any browser, even with a text based browser. Have you tried to use the web.de page with a non-IE browser like Firefox? It doesn't work! They use very special JavaScript and AJAX with locks you to IE. And this is not the philosophy of ELOG. You should be able to do everything, even if JavaScript is switched off.
