Hello,

I keep having this problem with the FCK editor. Every now and then the editor will no longer work for a particular user. Instead of the editor, the user will only see the plain text box and the three radio buttons for text/html/raw. I can't see why it happens though it may be after I've been adding lots of roles and assigned them to users.  By 'lots' I only mean a handful however.

Normally I can delete and recreate the account and it will work again. I have tried everything else I can think of including resetting passwords, removing and re-applying all roles for the user. I've also reset and reappplied the FCK custom settings. Nothing seems to bring it back other than deleting the account and making it again.

I can't do that for all accounts however, because if the user has content that specifically belongs to them such as blog posts or repository items, then they will no longer "own" those items when I recreate the account.. because it's not the same User ID.

What I'd like to know is.. what specifically tells the text/html module to load FCK for a given user? I'm sure there must be a way to trace what is different between two users, one of whom gets the editor and one who doesn't.

Any advice is much appreciated.

Perhaps someone knows where in the db I could set a user ID back to what the old one was if I delete and recreate an account? That would at least make it work even if I never figure out why the problem happens.

Is this user trying to access the page with the FCK Editor with different browsers? FCK does not work in the Safari browser...

Hi,

Thanks for the input, but it's for both IE and Firefox. I think it's something to do with either the provider or the way DNN handles the provider.. I really don't know. Hopefully Locopon can shed some light on it.
