Support Thread for CKEditor Plugin

Hi frank18

Thanks for your help. I just tried this again, and had done so yesterday too but still no luck. Any other suggestions?

Hmm - are there any errors in the logs folder?

No, nothing in the log folder but ! am getting an error when I try to add an option value to an option name when trying to set up attributes. (WARNING: An Error occurred, please refresh the page and try again.) So I am guessing something isn't right.

I don't think it has anything to do with the CKEditor itself. The CKEditor files in the store side are "self contained". It may be something in your admin files that causes the editor not to show. My next step would be to compare the files in the admin to a stock download of zc 1.5.1 - may give you some clues and possibly even iron out the other error you are getting.

Just a thought...

Thanks again for your help. I compared the files and couldn't find anything obvious, so re-uploaded the Zen files and that fixed the CKeditor problem! YAY. I am however still getting the error when I try to add an option value. Bugger!

Thought that may have caused your headaches - glad you got this working :smile:

Question regarding flash player in CKEditor:
I am using Zencart version 1.5 with the CKEditor installed and am having issues using the included flash player piece. I have uploaded my flash video:
/Streaming Videos/Cane Ja class training cane_F8_FLV_VP6_3000Kbps_720p.flv and, using the flash dialogue window in the editor, cannot seem to get the player to see the video file. I have, however, been able to embed from Vimeo and You tube the same video using their code. I would really like our customers to be able to view the video from our server though. Does this have anything to do with a security setting in Zencart for outside access to the server or is there something else I am missing?
Thanks for the help!

I've never used any flash-player from ckeditor.

But I'd strongly recommend NOT using flash, since doing so rules out a LARGE population of visitors whose computers/tablets/phones don't support flash. Why not use MP4 instead, and drop a suitable player widget onto the page to handle it.

Of course, that takes the discussion totally away from CKEditor too :)

I agree.. I just had to re-write my vocal coaches entire website to replace all the Flash crap (music players, slideshows) with jQuery equivalents.

So flash is out, mp4 is in...got it! My original thought was to go in that direction, but in another thread on this forum I read that mp4 files, being the size they are, result in long down load times before they can be played and/or buffering problems. Any thoughts on that issue?

In the mean time, I will use the Vimeo service. Thanks all for the feedback!

Installed and when I go to activate it I get a blank editor area, switch back to plain text and it works, have uninstalled and reinstalled several times......
It was working last time I added products (yesterday) it worked. No other add-ons have been installed since then

Any other suggestions?
Thanks

So, it was working fine yesterday, but today it "suddenly" stopped working?
Probably browser cache problem.

Sorry took me so long to update this it was the newest FF release, I fixed it by downloading straight from ckeditor.com and uploading my custom as mentioned a few pages back.

Given that that's how the packaged plugin is prepared, it sounds like you must have not fully uploaded all the plugin files the first time around.

Anyway, glad you've got it working.

I uploaded it three times from the plugin's section then download the full set from http://ckeditor.com/download and it worked so while I am no expert I am not sure how to explain it but it worked and that is another plus for the forum guiding me to the download page :-)
For others it was uploaded to /public_html/editors/ckeditor

Thanks to everyone here who helped!

Same story here... Uploaded 3 times from the download section. Every time I got a blank screen in ALL browsers on ALL computers. I went searching on the forum and found uswebworx's posts. I too, downloaded from http://ckeditor.com/download and all is fine. Could there be a problem with the PlugIn package?

I would think so but I am not a programmer!

I just downloaded from the add on Plugins and installed it without a hitch ... works fine the first time ... :smile:

Grin! You are amazing, after all! :)

Actually - I was just working with a couple of other things I had downloaded the same day. Most of the folders were empty - so files were going missing that day!

I'm just glad the end result is a working editor. :)

I am assuming you were trying to load this one?

Very odd that some have issues ... :huh:
