CKEDITOR missing from list of editors in admin

In v1.5.1, even though the ckeditor plugin package says you don't need to upload the customized /renamed-admin-folder/includes/init_includes/init_html_editor.php file from the zip, the original one that comes with v1.5.1 does need to still be on your server. If you've removed it or if it's damaged, then it needs to be put back. And if you have another init_html_editor.php file in the init_includes/overrides/ folder, you need to remove it.

I still have the file I just didn't upload it. The filename in the zip is named: init_html_editor.php_only_needed_for_v150_or_older . So do I just change the extension and upload it?

thank you,

NO! The original Zen Cart v1.5.1 code (I'm referring to the ORIGINAL ZC, and NOT to a plugin) comes with the correct v1.5.1 init_html_editor.php file.

My point is that for v1.5.1 you need to use the official original one that comes WITH Zen Cart, and NOT replace it with the one in the ckeditor package (because the one in the ckeditor package is designed for OLDER versions of Zen Cart).

In short, I'm saying that you should have never touched that file. But that it also must exist, and must be the original one.

I'm mentioning this because it is a key piece in making the editors display correctly. If it's missing, then the editors selection will be broken. Same if you've got a file by the same name in the overrides folder. That's why I wrote my last post the way I did.

For anyone is having trouble getting CKeditor to show in zen cart v1.5.0, after a few hours of figuring, the file that says init_html_editor.php**_only_needed_for_v150_or_older** needs to be renamed to just init_html_editor.php and uploaded to /YOUR_ADMIN_NAME/includes/init_includes/overrides

A very simple fix :frusty:
