Hi Ernie,

Thank you so much for that tip. The custom tool is now visible on the Author Tab. It is however not visible on the FCK Editor.
Also when I build I get a build failed, file not found exception.

What should I perform next to make it show up on FCK Editor?

I would suggest to look at the code from other tools to see how the fckeditor tag works.

Also have a read at these pages:

Thanks,

Hi Ernie,

I have looked at those links. I have done the following:
- modified fckconfig_custom.js - added the name of my tool in FCKConfig.ToolbarSets["Default"]. I also added FCKConfig.Plugins.Add('mytool', 'en');. I have rebuilt the tool build.xml and when I open up the FCK Editor, it is not displayed and I also get error "Unknown toolbar item". How do I resolve this?

Ah! Right! Finally I get what you are trying to do... sorry it has taken me so long. I thought you were coding a new LAMS tool, but instead you are trying to add a plugin to the FCKEditor.

Have a look at this skype plugin. If you follow the same steps, you'll be able to do it with your tool.

Also, make sure -before you try it, to clear your browser cache!

Thanks,

Ernie

Hi Ernie,

Now it is displayed on the Text Editor, thanks for your help there. For some reason I withinn the fckeditor/plugins/ directory, the diractory for my custom tool was not being deployed. Once this directory existed - it worked. BUT ...I get javascript errors when I click on my cuatom tool. I get Error: Invalid Argument. I can't find what is causing this.
