I use fckeditor on wmf-deployment and it works. In fact I'm using it in conjunction with the Usability Initiative extension/editor. If you want fckeditor for 1.12 you'll have to get an old version of it that supports the old preprocessor. On Fri, Nov 6, 2009 at 2:05 AM, David Gerard <dgerard(a)gmail.com> wrote:

New job, new intranet Mediawiki installation! This one is 1.12. I want to add FCKeditor to it - particularly as current versions are very usable indeed - but the mediawiki.org page is entirely unclear on the right way to go: * Kludge it into 1.12 however feasible? * Upgrade to 1.15 and kludge it in? * Upgrade to 1.16 when that's out and apparently pull from svn? I do plan to upgrade to 1.16 when feasible, but the wiki is in a nascent state (people still copy'n'pasting docs from the previous horrible intranet) so I'd like to get it in there ASAP. What have others done? - d. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l

Yeah, I want the shiny new stuff in FCK :-) It's actually decent WYSIWYG now. (Even if it doesn't implement *all* the whacky stuff people do with wikitext on English Wikipedia, for example.) So pulling wmf-deployment is a suitable thing to do? I'd rather wait for a 1.16 package, but I've seen the wikitech-l discussions about how that's not really ready for a tarball yet. - d. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l

Why not just upgrade to the 1.15.1 stable release? -Chad

I personally don't see the point in using a versioned release, so I don't ;-) Other people will tell you differently, but I find running stable trunk provides the most flexibility and you also get many newer features not available in the releases.
