Hi Nukers,

Hope someone can help here.  Since upgrading to 5.5, the HTML control "Edit Content" editor is now appearing in the middle skin panel of my skin.  This panel is only thin so the whole text editing is done within this.

Not sure why this has changed, but does anyone know how to move the "Edit Content" box back to a full-width skin container.  The "Edit Content" box does not have a "Move" menu, just "Help", "Online help" and "View source"

If I use the Site Setting > Appearance > Edit Skin, I can set it to another skin like "Extropy" and I get a nice wide edit skin and the whole of the "Edit Content" is streched across the screen, but I'm really after getting it back to how it used to be.

Thanks,
Rod

please check "about" button on the editor, whether you are still using FCKEditor or have been switched to Rad Editor - in the second case, reverting to fckeditor in web.config might solve your issue.

Thanks Sebastian, but I'm using FCK version 2.6.4 Build 21629 already. It seems to me that the text editor has a hard-coded skin panel that it resides in when in text edit mode. The panel seems to be "ContentPane". The skin I'm using for the site "Flex" has a very thin "ContentPane", whereas the "Extropy" skin has a full-width "ContentPane". Is there a place you can change this? All other admin module have a "Move" option when in edit mode, but not FCK.  This has only happened since the 5.5 upgrade. Thanks, Rod

I suggest creating a modified version of your skin with a single content pane taking full width of the skin and apply it in site settings for all edit pages - that's how we usually configure our portals.

Hi Sebastian, thanks for your reply. Has DNN really come to this? You upgrade to a supposedly improved version, only to find that one of the most basic functions changes behaviour and the solution is to start modifying skins!? I am not a skin developer, I wouldn't have the first clue on how to make a skin or modify a skin, and I should have to learn just because an upgrade broke my site. I realize this is only a suggestions, and I appreciate your interest and help (as I'm sure many here do), but this is too much. I need a CMS that just works, not something that costs me so much time and effort every time I upgrade. My solution is to use the Extropy skin for edit mode. It has a wide content pane and it works. It looks bad, but it works. DNN is for developers, to be sure. I'd hate to think what would happen to the DNN community if you were not around. Thanks Sebastian, Rod
