fckgLite is a Javascript implementation of the FCKeditor for DokuWiki. It is “Lite” only historically, from a time when it was being developed as an experimental alternative to DokuWikiFCK, which is no longer being actively maintained .¹⁾ Every effort is made to keep current with the latest upgrades to Dokuwiki.

fckgLite attempts to support all DokuWiki markup with the exception of php and email-style comments. While fckgLite has a great many aspects, its main function is to convert the HTML entered into the FCKeditor into native Dokuwiki markup and to save that to the server.

fckgLite is under constant revision; so you might want to check back here periodically to get the latest revisions. All feedback is appreciated; use the mailing list or dokuwiki forum.

The current version of fckgLite can be installed using the plugin manager or manually. Versions prior to November 24th 2011 must be installed manually. For detailed instructions on how to install manually, see Dokuwiki's manual_instructions page. For more about using the plugin manager, you can look at the auto install page, which explains how this works. The issues with use of the plugin manager are primarily directed at *nix systems but Windows users may want to consult the auto install page to see how the auto install feature might be used on Windows servers.

Important Caution
If you are using a version of Dokuwiki dated before April 2011 (Anteater or earlier), do not use the plugin manager's deletion function when upgrading to a new version of fckgLite. It will delete the media directory.

IE 9 and Firefox 6
Users of Firefox 6 and IE 9 require fckgLite version 06. See the note on browser compatibility.

On most *nix and Windows systems the filebrowser installs automatically. In the event of problems, the following pages will be of help:

• :file_browser_install
• :docs:auto_install
• :configuration

fckgLite has a mailing list where you can ask and answer questions. You can subscribe to the list in one of two ways:

Current distribution: :06:fckglite-06.12-mar_28-08_08.tgz

Beginning with version 06, there will no longer be a distinction between fckgLite and fckgLiteSafe. Version 6 includes all of the fixes and new features added since the initial release of Version 5. Users of Dokuwiki Anteater who use the safe encoding option for file and directory names should read :docs:upgrade_6.

Users of post-Rincewind versions of Dokuwiki will eventually have to switch over to Version 6 in order to keep current. The latest dailies of fckgLite version 05, beginning with the Sept 10th 2011 distribution, are compatible with post-Rincewind distributions of Dokuwiki. Both these and version 06 will be backwardly compatible with all earlier versions of Dokuwiki.

For versions of Dokuwiki post-Rincewind, do not use fckgLite 05; you must use fckgLite Version 06

Version 06 of fckgLite is being released concurrently with the release of Douwiki's Angua distribution. A major change in Angua has been the implementation of the jQuery library for Javascript and fckgLite 06 takes that change into account. While recent copies of version 05 also accommodate jQuery, 05 will no longer be kept current. To keep current with changes to fckgLite you should use version 06.

The dailies are current distributions with the most recent changes. They are 'in process' and may have fixes and features which will be changed in a later set of dailies, but they are generally safe to use. They are cumulative, i.e. the more recent dailies incorporate the changes made to earlier ones and will fix things that in earlier dailies turn out to need fixing. While they are called 'dailies', they may not in fact appear every day.

• Version 04
• Version 03
• Version 05
  • fckgLite Safe
