* ————————————————————-
* @param InstanceName Editor instance name (form field name)
* @param BasePath optional Path to the FCKeditor directory. Need only be set once on page. Default: /FCKeditor/
* @param Value optional data that control will start with, default is taken from the javascript file
* @param Width optional width (css units)
* @param Height optional height (css units)
* @param ToolbarSet optional what toolbar to use from configuration
* @param CheckBrowser optional check the browser compatibility when rendering the editor

2 download the fckeditor from the http://www.fckeditor.net/ and save it in the smarty folder

3 in the php file we include the fckeditor.php file

4 in the tpl file we write the following code

{fckeditor BasePath=”../includes/fckeditor/” InstanceName=”news_desc” Width=”650px” Height=”300px” Value=”$news_desc”}
