Why won't ckeditor work

[stevesh]

No, that's false on mine, too. I think the only one that matters is javascript:enabled which has to be true. Have you tried another browser like Chrome or IE?

Frank - ckeditor-446-for-zencart The link you sent is the one I downloaded. And I have done all of what you said. I posted doing this in both my first and 4th post.

mc12345678 in a new install the instructions tell you to rename your admin folder and change your admin on the admin/configure.
After Installation
When you enter the Catalog, you will receive security warnings about the configure.php files and the /zc_install directory, as well as instruction to rename your /admin/ directory.

Stevish - I checked Java Under the Java control panel I clicked on Java and it has a check mark in enabled. And under Security - Enable Java in your browser is checked. So I am assuming it is.

I posted on the ckeditor support thread.

So did you undo the automatic detection of the admin folder path and hardcode in your admin path, or what did you change? In a full install of ZC 1.5.4 (or an upgrade performed by the procedures of this site) then the admin/includes/configure.php should include folder paths that are auto-detected (no specific information provided to those viewing the file) and there is nothing that requires modification when changing the admin's folder path. So, the question still goes, what was changed?

I changed the admin to myadmin in 3 different places is all I changed.

[RixStix]

Did you edit the admin folder name in the ckeditor fileset

from admin_for_v151_thru_v160 to YOURSECRETADMIN name before uploading so that the proper filestructure would be maintained?

Your edits to the configure files were related to the new zcinstall and had nothing to do with the CKeditor install? yes/no?

[bearlymakinit]

RixStix. I didn't know I needed to. I uploaded it after I set my admin folder.

No ckeditor was installed after I changed the admin folder name and the admin configure and deleted the zc_install.

[bearlymakinit]

Should I upload it before I install the zencart? Because at this point it looks like I am going to have to delete it and upload another zencart.

[RixStix]

So CKeditor is installed in a folder named

admin_for_v151_thru_v160 ?

If you are certain that is the only mistake, then you could just move the folder contents to where it actually belongs. Starting over is no fun other than the experience gained by repetition.

FYI: Most plugins require several folders to be renamed on the store side and/or admin side so that the files are dropped into the proper place(s)


FROM THE CKEditor README file:

Installation is simple:

1. Download and unzip this file (you've done that if you're reading this)
2. In the unzipped folder, you'll see several variations of an "admin" foldername, offering options for various ZC versions. Find the one the matches your site's version, and rename it to "admin". Delete or ignore the other "admin_xxxxxx" folders, as they will not be relevant to you.
3. Now, since your server's "admin" folder has actually been renamed to something other than "admin", go find out what that foldername is on your server now. You'll need that new foldername in the next step.
4. Upload the various files from your PC to your website, placing each file in the same folder where you found it in the zip, ie:
   
   • /admin/includes/ckeditor.php goes to your website into your existing /renamed-admin/includes/ folder.
   • /admin/includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/ckeditor.php is added to your /renamed-admin/includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/ folder
   • /editors/ckeditor/ (the entire folder) gets copied to your /editors/ folder
   
   
5. When you login to your admin area, select CKEditor from the list of editors on applicable pages.
6. (Recommended) You can also set your default editor choice via Admin->Configuration->My Store->HTML Editor (note: this may not take effect until you log in the next time)
7. (Optional) You can change the folder in which the editor files live, by renaming the folder and adding the following line to your admin/includes/configure.php file:
   define('DIR_WS_EDITORS', 'the new name of your folder/');
   If you are using an external add-in for uploading images or other content, then this step moves from optional to recommended, for security reasons.

[mc12345678]

Are you still using some form of autoinstaller? There are absolutely no changes necessary to the admin/includes/configure.php file if installing ZC from a fresh set of files obtained from http://zen-cart.com/getit or the homepage of this site. Rename of the admin directory, yesm

If upgrading a site, see: http://www.zen-cart.com/entry.php?3-...d-of-upgrading

If are using an auto-installer, that might be part of the problem if the above folder issue isn't the cause.

mc12345678 I have uploaded it with filezilla add to queue then clicked on transfer process queue
I have manually added each folder and double clicked to add each file.
and I have manually added each folder and then added the files to the queue and trasfer/ process queue

RixStix I deleted the editor. Then uploaded it again. Now I am getting the following debug

[07-May-2015 17:49:21 America/Chicago] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function zen_get_languages() in /home/e4mpdnk7/public_html/includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/ckeditor.php on line 13

When I pull up the /home/e4mpdnk7/public_html/includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/ckeditor.php It only goes to line 10. In the ckeditor I downloaded the file size is 344 but when I upload it it is only 334. I deleted it and uploaded it again and it is still 334.
Why is it changing file size? At least I got an debug log this time.

mc12345678 if you go the a 1.54 zencart under the docs folder I am following the instructions on 1 readme_installation. This is the step I am talking about.

After Installation
When you enter the Catalog, you will receive security warnings about the configure.php files and the /zc_install directory, as well as instruction to rename your /admin/ directory.


configure.php files
You will now want to change the permissions on the configure.php files with chmod 644 (or 444 depending on your server...and sometimes setting 444 cannot be done via FTP, in which case use your host's control panel or file manager to set the permissions level.)

These are located in:
/catalog/includes/configure.php
/catalog/admin/includes/configure.php

It would also be a good idea to download a copy of these files to your computer from the server as they have been setup and configured to your server specifications based on the Installation process.

If you have any errors or problems, most of these can be corrected by minor adjustments to these two files.


zc_install directory
Next, you will want to DELETE /catalog/zc_install directory so that nobody can misuse the scripts in there to wipe out your store.

RENAME the ADMIN directory
You must rename your /catalog/admin/ directory so that hackers can't guess where it's located. This "obscurity" helps minimize unnecessary attempts to hack at your online store.

To rename the directory, simply use your FTP program to rename the /admin/ folder to something else ... something not easily guessed.
