A long time ago I mentioned I had link problems when using the ckeditor. Extra quotes and slashes were being inserted into the links. You did not have that problem. I finally got around to searching and found out my server had php magic quotes turned on! They must be off for flot to create links correctly! So I searched again and found out I had to do this to turn them off in php 5.3 -
- add magic_quotes_gpc = off
to the php.ini file
- add suPHP_ConfigPath /home/yourid/public_html/
to the .htaccess file.
This worked for me. With newer current php versions of 5.4 and greater those additions are NOT necessary because magic quotes are not supported anymore! Any way, I still have one problem left with links. I always get the main website url in front of any link I create in ckeditor. Now this is the weird part, if I look at the loaded web page source code I only see the link I created, such as google.com but when I move my cursor over that link, even in the source code, the actual link in the browser corner has my website url prepended to it like this - http://mydomain.com/google.com. So I still don't know if flot is doing this or ckeditor is. This happens on my live web server and also my local wamp server. Any tips?
Update - OK, I think I have solved it. Looks like I MUST use http:// to create urls in ckeditor. Then I don't get my site's url inserted in front of the url. Is this a flot or ckeditor limitation?
I still want to use markdown and will find out how to change the editor to some kind of markdown editor sooner or later. It would be nice to have a button to select between ckeditor or markdown.
How do I get more ckeditor options on the toolbar?
Creating links shows the full link on the page. Usually you highlight a word then create a link out of that. That method is not working here. Should it be?
