Select the FCKEditor language - full example

Posted June 28th, 2009 in FCKEditor

I had an email from someone asking about my "Select the interface language in FCKEditor from a select box" post and where they should put the Javascript and drop down box. This post shows the full PHP page required to display the FCKEditor with language selection drop down boxes.

The code does not contain the necessary work to save it to the database; it just shows how to have all the elements in your page.

A working example (using FCKEditor 2.6.2) can be found here.

And here is the code behind that page:

<html>
<head>
<title>FCKEditor Change Language Example</title>
<script language="javascript">

function FCKeditor_OnComplete(editor) {
   
    var select = document.getElementById("languages");
    for(lang in editor.Language.AvailableLanguages) {
        select.options[select.options.length] =
          new Option(editor.Language.AvailableLanguages[lang], lang);
    }
    select.value = editor.Language.ActiveLanguage.Code;
  
}

function change_language(lang) {
    window.location.href = window.location.pathname + "?lang=" + lang ;
}

</script>
</head>

<body>

<select id="languages" onchange="change_language(this.value);">
</select>
<?php

require_once('fckeditor/fckeditor.php');

$oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor('html');
if(isset($_GET['lang'])) {
    $oFCKeditor->Config['AutoDetectLanguage'] = false ;
    $oFCKeditor->Config['DefaultLanguage'] = $_GET['lang'] ;
}
else {
    $oFCKeditor->Config['AutoDetectLanguage'] = true ;
    $oFCKeditor->Config['DefaultLanguage'] = 'en' ;
}
$oFCKeditor->Create();

?>

</body>
</html>
