ColdFusion

This website contains links to software which is either no longer maintained or will be supported only until the end of 2019 (CKFinder 2). For the latest documentation about current CKSource projects, including software like CKEditor 4/CKEditor 5, CKFinder 3, Cloud Services, Letters, Accessibility Checker, please visit the new documentation website.

If you look for an information about very old versions of CKEditor, FCKeditor and CKFinder check also the CKEditor forum, which was closed in 2015. If not, please head to StackOverflow for support.

It is very easy to use FCKeditor in your ColdFusion web pages. Just follow these steps.

Integration step by step

Step 1

Create a cfm page which will include the following <cfmodule> code:

<cfmodule
template="/fckeditor/fckeditor.cfm"
basePath="/fckeditor/"
instanceName="myEditor"
value='<p>This is some <strong>sample text</strong>. You are using <a href="http://www.fckeditor.net/">FCKeditor</a>.</p>'
width="100%"
height="200"
>

In the above example, BasePath is set to the URL path to the FCKeditor installation folder.

Step 2

The editor is now ready to be used. Just open the page in your browser to see it at work.

Sample Code

<cfsetting enablecfoutputonly="true">
<cfoutput>
<html>
<head>
<title>FCKeditor - Sample</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow">
</head>
<body>
<h1>FCKeditor in Coldfusion</h1>
</cfoutput>

<cfmodule
template="/fckeditor/fckeditor.cfm"
basePath="/fckeditor/"
instanceName="myEditor"
value='<p>This is some <strong>sample text</strong>. You are using <a href="http://www.fckeditor.net/">FCKeditor</a>.</p>'
width="100%"
height="200"
>
</body>
</html>
<cfsetting enablecfoutputonly="false">

Additional information

  • You can find some samples on how to use the editor in the "_samples/cfm" directory. To install the samples, just copy that directory to the _samples directory found in the FCKeditor core package installation.
