Mohit: this is probably a problem related to step 2 in the installation instructions above. Where are you adding the FCKConfig.Plugins.Add('DynamicToolbar', null); bit?

Btw, I'd highly recommend using CKEditor instead of FCKEditor, which already has an inbuilt mechanism to create dynamic toolbars.

I did the same thing as described above. Install the plugin and try
to use it in my php page. But it gives me such javascript alert
"Toolbar set "DynamicToolbar" doesn't exist".

This is not what this plugin is about, sorry. The FCKEditor documentation has some info on how to do that, I think. Btw, you might want to wait a little bit more until the final release of CKEditor, which is the replacement for FCKEditor and is due soon.

Hi Peter. I'm not sure what you're trying to do, but I don't think this plugin will help you. It seems to me you need a plugin to open the new window (I don't know if there is one).

Hi kalyan. It's not difficult, but there are a few steps involved, and it can be a bit confusing the first time. I can't go through the details right now, but will try to write a post about it soon. If you can't wait, a google search on "fckeditor add plugin" should point you in the right direction.

Not really. Well, you could use it there (assuming you're using FCKEditor for the comments), but you don't need a dynamic toolbar for that: you could just define a custom toolbar in the config file, and then use it for the comments.

This plugin is useful if you need to create the toolbar for FCKEditor on-the-fly. For example, imagine you're developing a CMS, and you want to let the user of the CMS select which buttons to use in FCKEditor. Because you don't know which buttons will he choose, you can't hard-code the toolbar in the config file, and here's when DynamicToolbar comes into play.

Clear as mud? ;)

Is that so for example the comments thing can add tags using buttons?
