Integrating FCKeditor Into CakePHP

Joseph — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 23:59:15 +0000

There are two different methods of FCKeditor integration to choose from with CakePHP: PHP and JavaScript. I will cover both of them here but I think my personal choice would be using the JavaScript method and replacing the textarea. That way there is a fall back for people with JavaScript turned off. For this example [...]

Add a file extension to gedit in Ubuntu

admin — Sat, 20 Dec 2008 16:21:27 +0000

I needed .ctp files to open with PHP syntax highlighting in gedit. After searching around online for a while I found the answer on the ubuntu forums.

Restart gedit and now everything works great!
