thanks, but it seems to be quite old.  
I’ve seen the scott rutherford plugin but i can’t make it work (i’m  
really  
newby with ruby on rails) and i’v seen that ther’s also a gem  
installable  
but i can’t find any documentation.

I followed instruction found here  
[http://fckeditor.caronsoftware.com/](http://fckeditor.caronsoftware.com/)  
but it doesn’t work:

the first instruction

ruby script/plugin install  
svn://rubyforge.org//var/svn/fckeditorp/trunk/fckeditor

does nothing.

Within the /vendor/plugin/fckeditor directory there is a README file  
with further instructions on how to finish the installation.

To summarize,

After running the plug-in script installation you need to run rake.

rake fckeditor:install

Then add

\<%= javascript\_include\_tag :fckeditor %\>

to the layout.

There are instructions in the readme for various types of usage.

I followed this instruction.  
It downloadec some files in …/vendor/plugin/fckeditor directory in my  
application and then it showed

“Exported revision 54  
Plugin not found:  
[“svn://rubyforge.org//var/svn/fckeditorp/trunk/fckeditor”]”

Any idea — what’s happening?

Oh, as for the error about plugin not found. I ignored that. Everything  
seems to be working (although I haven’t tested the image upload just  
yet).
