Slick integration between FCKeditor and Lotus Domino

Update 16.08.08: According to a commenter, Sinisa, the notes.ini modification is not needed (tested on Domino R7), so even less requirements.. :)

Before you read on. The integration requires you to set DominoDisableFileUploadChecks=1 in notes.ini on the Domino Server.

I found no satisfying integration-examples that included upload-support for FCKeditor, so I decided to try to make the integration myself. As far as I've tested, you can upload whatever you want, only limited by settings in FCK and Domino restrictions.

Flash animation of the integration in action. Shows upload of an image and upload of a flash game.

Although it was a bit hard to hack around Domino restrictions regarding uploading files, I finally found out how to make it work.

All that was needed was a bit of try, fail, retry, repeat, a simple upload-form and a little bit of Javascript.

The interesting bits are the fckconfig.js page, the demo form, and the fckupload form. Read Ferdy's article to understand how you can upload files to Domino without using a Domino generated File Upload Control.

Requirements for the demoapp:
fckeditor in [Notes/Domino-path]\data\domino\html\js\fckeditor
If you're not running the demo on localhost, DominoDisableFileUploadChecks=1 in notes.ini on the server.

Tested with FCKeditor 2.6.1 in FF2.0, IE7(Vista) and Opera 9.5 (go try it out).
