[Slashcode-development] WebGUI editor for stories (Slash::Admin)

[shane <sh...@lo...>]

I wrote up a plugin that uses the FCKEditor. It alters the two  
introtext and bodytext textarea fields when you are editting a story.  
It seems to work OK. (anyone who's running fairly recent slash that  
wants to beta test, drop me a line).

I do have one stumbling block, however.

How to include FCK w/ the Slash plugin.

FCK is LGPL, so I think I'm OK including the editor itself w/ the  
plugin.

However, exactly how?

I can untar it, remove samples, asp/vb/php/cf code and such, etc,  
that a Slash site would never need.

Then either tar it back up let people snag that tarball, or include  
everything it needs in the plugin's PLUGIN and MANIFEST file. Which,  
is a lot, and there are many, many files.

I looked at Slash::Searchtoo to see maybe there was some better way  
to include a whole ton of files w/a plugin but I didn't see any neat  
tricks there.

The alternative is, like I said, to make a tarball available that  
each particular slash-site owner would have to download, and untar in  
their /usr/local/slash/site/{sitename}htdocs.

Any opinions?
