Can anyone shed some light on this error message I'm getting.

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'sites/all/modules/fckeditor/fckeditor.admin.inc' (include_path='.:/usr/local/php5/lib/php') in /home/content/73/4427873/html/includes/menu.inc on line 346

My earlier problem with update.php I could never resolve so I did a fresh reinstall of 6.20. I have fckeditor showing in my module root but when trying to edit a page I have no menu. When I go to admin/site configuration/fckeditor I get that error message.

On another note, update php still does not work! Sooooo confused.

Thanks

Did you follow the instructions in sites/all/modules/fckeditor/README.txt? I sometimes forget to go to download the FCKeditor http://ckeditor.com/download and put it in the right directory.

anything.admin.inc is typically a drupal module file. Archive and remove what you currently have in that folder and download a fresh copy.

It's also possible that the file is not readable by Apache.

Well I just ended up dumping fckeditor and installed ckeditor along with ckfinder. All seems to be fine but when I click on the browse button it lists all my nodes (if this makes any sense). With fckeditor when I clicked browse it would reference my sites/all/default/files where all my images are. My question is does anyone know how I can direct ckfinder to look at the files folder? Thanks

I have been having similar issues. It is set at admin/settings/ckeditor/. Choose a profile (default and/or advanced). Scroll down to "File Browser Settings". CKEditor automatically finds the path, however I have been trying to get it to go to the next level above in the directory tree. Evidently all the images have to be in the "images" folder, meaning if you have another folder with images in it, like sites/default/files/header, it can't find that folder and CKFinder will not allow me to go up the director tree. Maybe the pay version works better. I am now playing with IMCE and WebFM modules to see which one works better.

I did exactly that in regards

I did exactly that in regards to the file browser settings. I did copy some images to the images folder but it does not recognize them, probably as you stated, that there is another folder present. There has to be a way to have it reference the images as fckeditor did. I'm just not adept enough to figure this out. Please keep me posted as to your findings.

So far

I enabled IMCE and it worked well on my dev site. And it allowed me to move within the directory tree. It was simple to install and configure. Web File Manager (WebFM) is a bit more complicated to configure and utilize. Like CKFinder, alternate file directories are set up. It appears more robust than IMCE for controlling what users and where files may be utilized.

Web File Manager IMCE
  • Application-like look and feel via AJAX
  • Permissions by role and file uid
  • Drag and drop moves of files and directories
  • Attachment of files to multiple nodes and/or comments - location independence allows dir restructuring to have no affect on attachment functionality
  • Drag and drop attachment ordering
  • Single file upload with version options for file overwrite
  • File delete/rename/view/download-file/add-to-db/remove-from-db/attach/detach/metadata/permissions
  • Directory create/rename/delete/add-files-to-db/add-files-recursive-to-db
  • Secure file view/download
  • Metadata editor (fixed fields at this time)
  • File search
  • Debug area for javascript development
  • Views support for WebFM attachments
  • Basic file operations: upload, delete
  • Image(jpg, png, gif) operations: resize, create thumbnails, preview
  • Support for private file system
  • Configurable limits for user roles: file size per upload, directory quota, file extensions, and image dimensions
  • Personal or shared folders for users
  • Permissions per directory
  • Ftp-like directory navigation
  • File sorting by name, size, dimensions, date
  • Tabbed interface for file operations
  • Keyboard shortcuts(up, down, insert(or enter), delete, home, end, ctrl+A, R(esize), T(humbnails), U(pload)).
  • Built-in support for inline image/file insertion into textareas
  • Multiple file selection(using ctrl or shift)
  • Ajax file operations
  • Themable layout using tpl files

Notes

  • IMCE may have problem working with Google Analytics and Secure pages modules. Just make sure to add *imce* path to the exceptions list of these modules.
  • If IMCE has issues with your custom theme, use ThemeKey Module to set Garland theme for *imce* path

The saga continues... I am thinking IMCE might be easier for users with less experience. If you need tighter controls I think WebFM may serve better. This is also only based on a few hours playing with the modules and IMHO.
