You can enable mathematical equations writing inside the Dokeos online editor (FCKEditor) by applying the following steps:
<ul>
<li>1. Configure your Apache installation to add a cgi-bin directory that contains a symbolic link to the mimetex.cgi in <i>dokeos/main/inc/lib/mimetex/</i>(*see below)</li>
<li>1. Configure your Apache installation to add a cgi-bin directory that contains a symbolic link to the mimetex.cgi in
<i>dokeos/main/inc/lib/mimetex/</i> (*see below, step 4)</li>
<li>2. Reload your Apache configuration</li>
<li>3. Edit the <i>dokeos/main/inc/lib/fckeditor/myconfig.js</i> and
<li>3. Edit the online editor's configuration file <i>dokeos/main/inc/lib/fckeditor/myconfig.php</i> and
<ul>
<li>3.1. Add <b>FCKConfig.Plugins.Add("mimetex", "en", sOtherPluginPath ) ;</b> at the end of the file</li>
<li>3.2. Add <b>'mimetex'</b> at the end of the
FCKConfig.ToolbarSets lines where you want the LaTeX icon to appear
(there is one FCKConfig.ToolbarSets by tool). For example:
<div class="code">FCKConfig.ToolbarSets["Test"] = [<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;['Bold','Italic','Underline','StrikeThrough','Subscript','Superscript','Link','Unlink','ImageManager','MP3','OrderedList','UnorderedList','Table','mimetex']<br />
] ;</div>
You can add it to all the tools, or only to the document and tests tools, for example<br />
<br />
<li>3.1. Enable the mimetex plugin, find the line //$config['LoadPlugin'][] = 'mimetex'; and modify it to be:
<b>$config['LoadPlugin'][] = 'mimetex';</b> (remove the double slash)</li>
<li>3.2. The additional settings <b>$config['MimetexExecutableInstalled']</b> , <b>$config['MimetexExecutableDetectionMethod']</b>
and <b>$config['MimetexExecutableDetectionTimeout']</b> are configured for best probability
of automatic detection of the installed on the server file <i>mimetex.cgi</i> or <i>mimetex.exe</i>.
In rare cases these options might need to be twicked, see the acccompanying comments abou
these options within the file <i>myconfig.php</i></li>
<li>3.3. Once the plugin has been activated, almost in all toolbars the corresponding button appears.
If you need to edit some toolbars, see the configuration files (php) within the directory <i>dokeos/main/inc/lib/fckeditor/toolbars/</i> .
Here is an example:
<div class="code">$config['ToolbarSets']['Normal'] = array(<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;array('FitWindow','Bold','Image','Link','PasteWord','MP3',<b>'mimetex'</b>,'Table','Subscript','Superscript','ShowBlocks')<br />
);</div>
The item <b>'mimetex'</b> represents the button, you may add it to or remove it from any toolbar.<br /><br />
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>4. In very rare cases (only if problems are detected), some configuration options about MimeTeX at the beginning of the file <em>dokeos/main/inc/lib/fckeditor/fckeditor.php</em> might need to be revised and twicked. See the acccompanying comments about these options within the same file</li>
<li>5. Clear your browser's cache to test it (very important). This can be done using your browser's settings page</li>
<li>6. Make these changes: </li>
