fck editor

The print_textarea function to replace the one currently in weblib.php to implement fck editor.

Make sure fck editor is unzipped to "Moodle/lib/editor" in a folder "fckeditor"

Steps to installation

1. In moodle/lib/weblib.php replace the print_textarea function with the one provided.
2. Download fck editor to moodle/lib/editor (be sure to name the folder with the editor as "fckeditor"
3. Adjust the config file for fck editor to options you want to test
4. Make sure in the print_textarea function that the path to fckeditor.js is correct If there is a change in your file structure

For Moodle 1.8.2: This FCKEditor integration only semi-works. It has the only-loading-in-first-textarea bug. see [1] for background and [2] for more on the whole editor issue at large. --Andrew Grothe 12:38, 9 October 2007 (CDT)

The code above has a glitch, it renders the editor on header and not in it's real location, the code below resembles a modified function for correct rendering of the fckeditor

Also comment use_html_editor() function contents in same weblib.php for avoiding Javascript errors about missing object

function print_textarea($usehtmleditor, $rows, $cols, $width, $height, $name, $value='', $courseid=0, $return=false) {
/// $width and height are legacy fields and no longer used as pixels like they used to be.
/// However, you can set them to zero to override the mincols and minrows values below.
	global $CFG, $course;
	static $scriptcount; // For loading the htmlarea script only once.
	if (empty($courseid)) {
		if (!empty($course->id)) { // search for it in global context
			$courseid = $course->id;
		}
	}

	if (empty($scriptcount)) {
		$scriptcount = 0;
	}

	if ($usehtmleditor) {
		if (!empty($courseid) and isteacher($courseid)) {
			$strFck = ($scriptcount < 1) ? '<script type="text/javascript" src="'. $CFG->wwwroot .'/lib/editor/fckeditor/fckeditor.js"></script>' . "\n" : '';
		} else {
			$strFck = ($scriptcount < 1) ? '<script type="text/javascript" src="'. $CFG->wwwroot .'/lib/editor/fckeditor/fckeditor.js"></script>'."\n" : '';
		}
		$scriptcount++;
		if ($height) { // Usually with legacy calls
			if ($rows < $minrows) {
				$rows = $minrows;
			}
		}
		
		if ($width) { // Usually with legacy calls
			if ($cols < $mincols) {
				$cols = $mincols;
