I really like the FCKeditor for editing tables, but some of my users still want the old edit toolbar for nostalgia or whatever. I came up with two solutions for moving it, both of which work as long as FCKeditor is not installed. The first is to move {$toolbar} in EditPage.php, and the second is a bit of javascript:
document.getElementById("editform").insertBefore(document.getElementById("toolbar"), document.getElementById("editpage-copywarn"))
You can run that in FF by prefixing j*avascript:* to it to get an exact idea of what I want to do. Unfortunately it looks like FCKeditor is registering itself as the official editor and my efforts are for naught. Anyone know a way to do this?
That sounds like a great idea though. If there were only a way to limit what fckeditor does or translates to tables only. Too many other things are messed up by fck to use it, but for tables it works great.
