Support Thread for CKEditor Plugin

[delia]

I just installed the CDN version released on May 5 and that solved my problem. I like to know why something stops working personally.

Note, I did have to totally remove the old version.

I've got a 1.5.4 that I can not get the CDN version to display. I can see that the javascript for it loaded but it doesn't show.

Which exact version of the ck editor are you using?

[barco57]

the one in the newly release cdn version of the ckeditor mod

[barco57]

new version released that fixes it for older versions of ZC

Why does this new version of the CKEditor not have a way to change font size or color?

[barco57]

Well, I would normally argue that is to save you from your poor design choices like pink and green huge text...
You can adjust line 22 of admin/includes/ckeditor.php to be to get the full editor

<script src="https://cdn.ckeditor.com/4.14.0/full/ckeditor.js" title="CKEditorCDN"></script>

Your choices are laid out here https://cdn.ckeditor.com/

I do not color my text in a pink and green huge. I do believe in the freedom for development users to have flexibility in editors. The previous installation of ckeditor worked very well, it was easy to modify to fit the developers needs. The new installation might be better, but losing flexibility is problematic. Maybe someone will document just how the new ckeditor has been implemented in Zencart and how the new implementation of ckeditor can be modified to make it more flexible. The documentation on the ckeditor website related to the CDN version is terrible.

Worked for all 3 I was having issues with =)

I have to agree about being able to edit the editor. I'm in total agreement with leaving out some options - have even integrated another editor before deleting many options. However, there are no longer paragraph alignment options in the editor and I also see no way to add them back in. I use the editor myself when making quick changes to a client's website - usually just some bolding or centering lines. I can certainly do this in code but the idea that one cannot change the alignment of a line is just....insane.

In the admin/ckeditor.php there is some info at the bottom but looking at this, I still cannot begin to figure out what to do. But I do want to put the second bit into play. The idea that the catalog stylesheet can be added to the editor is always what I belived (and did in a rendition of another editor years ago) should be how this is done.

// Other options:
// - Edit your /editors/ckeditor/config.js file to control the toolbar buttons, add additional plugins, control the UI color, etc
//
// Advanced:
// https://ckeditor.com/docs/ckeditor4/latest/features/styles.html#the-stylesheet-parser-plugin
// - set custom styles in the /editors/ckeditor/styles.js file
// - import a template-specific stylesheet from catalog-side, using config.contentsCss setting, so dialogs "look like catalog-side" in admin editor 

So please someone cobble together some specific instructions! I'll be glad to do it if someone will set me on the right path.
