Creating links in FCKEditor
FCKEditor is an editor with more options compared to KUPU. What it doesnt do is ensure XHTML compliance like Kupu does....
There are some issues in creating links, which can be resolved partially in FCK editor configuration:
- Unclick the box "Allow Link objects by UID" this stops the link being a nasty long number (although the advantage of UID is it prevents broken links if files get moved)
- unclick the box "Make links relative before posting to server" If you don't unclick this the link will not work if it is in a portlet which is accessible in different folders; it changes a link /uk/cycling/ into ../../cycling, for example.
There is still an issue that if your public site starts at a subfolder of site root, i.e /public_home then public_home will be part of the absolute links obtained using 'browse'. You can simply delete the public_home from the link, however it is difficult to use browse if there are many potential users.
One can simply unclick the box "allow server browsing". Then there is no link drawer, and you have to write the links in manually or copy and paste.
Note: the /public_home problem cannot be solved by using " Force opening browser folder to a specific path"
