    I want to add FCK Editor for Description field when user is adding listing on my website... so that he can insert images, change the font styles and colour e.t.c. Can I get help on that?
    Thank You

    I am not sure that is going to work that easily. I may be wrong but the description field is text and the formatting and style is being controlled by the css style sheet. You could try allowing certain html tags to be used in a listing (these are set in your admin control panel). For example, by default if someone throws in an html link into the description field, the current system will not render it as a live link unless you tell it to allow live links (i.e. you permit "a href" in the admin control panel). Someone however may have integrated an html editor but I don't know of anyone.

    I think everyone knows what you meant, they were just have some light hearted fun. Your likely not going to find anyone here who can help because generally spekaing placing any sort of wysiwig editor in your classifieds is bad practice so its rarely done.

    By doing so you are giving people the ability to potentially ruin the layout of your site. Most of those editors are just javascript, and work in conjunction with a form field so you will just have to follow the insgtructions for the editor of your choice and edit the 68C templates to include it. You will also need to edit 68C admin to say what html tags are allowed for the given form field or they will be stripped off.
