Support Thread for CKEditor Plugin

Hi:

I recently changed my template and when I did I downloaded the latest update of CK Editor.

Much to my chagrin, the new editor is the standard version. In this forum Dr. Byte says that you can download the full version of the editor from the Ck Editor website and install it.

I did this, and have the full editor running on my testsite. I was talking to my host who told me I should take it off because it can be hacked and is not PCI compliant.

Is that right?

Um, yikes! Please post if you find more info!!

I will, too

I am new to Zen cart, have used oscommerce, man, I love zen cart more options and much easier to add on, or plug in.

I am using version 1.5.4 and ckeditor 4.5.2. Now the problem, all works good except the panel is blank, no icons or anything. I can mouseover and see anchor, unanchor, link etc, but no pictures.

Can anyone help a poor guy out.

Hello.

I have one perhaps weird question regarding to the CKEditor, but why not :)

I installed CKEditor (4.5.2 (revision 09b0cca)) on my fresh-new ZenCart installation (ZC v. 1.5.4), it shows up, but I'm missing some icons in the editor, most wanted is the "Font-Size" icon - it just does NOT show up on the editor.

Here is the complete ckeditor-custom-button-bar image

and here is what I see inside the ZC administration, within the Product/Category editing --> image.

What can I do to fix it?

Hi tilenk,

Maybe this will help:

Latest (which includes CKEditor v4.5.6) has the Font-Size and Justify buttons added.

Today, I downloaded and installed the latest version of the ckeditor plugin and v1.5.4 of the cart from this site. The ckeditor folder is in the editors directory and the ckeditor.php file is in the includes folder. The CKeditor was not showing in the dropdown select tool on the configuration page so I had to hack the admin/includes/init_includes/init_html_editor.php on line 48 to read:

if (true) $editors_list['CKEDITOR']  = array('desc' => EDITOR_CKEDITOR,  'handler' => 'ckeditor.php',  'special_needs' => '');

from

if (is_dir(DIR_FS_CATALOG . DIR_WS_EDITORS . 'ckeditor') $editors_list['CKEDITOR']  = array('desc' => EDITOR_CKEDITOR,  'handler' => 'ckeditor.php',  'special_needs' => '');

Even though the ckeditor is selected, there are no toolbars on any text modification area.

In your admin/includes/configure.php, what are the values of: DIR_FS_CATALOG and DIR_WS_EDITORS? How do they compare to the same in includes/configure.php?

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home1/xxxxx/public_html/xxxxx/store2/');

There is no DIR_WS_EDITORS setting in the config file.

I added the following code to my admin configure file:

define('DIR_WS_EDITORS', DIR_WS_INCLUDES.'admin/editors/');

and reset the code on line 48 but still no option to select CKEditor in the dropdown

Jetta:

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home1/xxxxx/public_html/xxxxx/store2/');

> There is no  DIR_WS_EDITORS setting in the config file.

Huh, wonder how I missed either that being removed or otherwise located... Oh well, should be defined in: includes/init_includes/init_html_editor.php as 'editors/'

So, does that particular file path exist on your setup/path structure? If installed as "described" it should...

Umm, thought the editors folder was in the store side not the admin side... Meaning would only need to define as:
```php
define('DIR_WS_EDITORS', DIR_FS_CATALOG.'editors/');

Where exactly in reference to the base of your store have you installed the ckeditor files and why? (Do not provide the admin path n your response.

So i upgrade from 1.38a to 1.54..upgrade database and now add ckeditor ,made choice via Admin->Configuration->My Store->HTML Editor
If I now select at Text Editor the CKEditor from dropdown it shows the CKEditor choice but then jumps back to Plain Text.
Not any logs about this. Cant this happened because i used 1.38a before uprgade. ? Yes i made fresh install to 1.54.

So i fix stranger when i install previous version 3.7p

Latest version doesn't have txt colour options on it. I've checked online and found this thread

http://ckeditor.com/forums/Support/Color-toolbar-not-showing-CKEditor-4

It shows a way of building your own CKEditor and downloading it but no matter what I do it still won't show text colour change option on the CKEditor toolbar on our Admin?

Any one have any ideas?

All sorted. Downloaded full package from here: http://ckeditor.com/download

Unpacked and copied everything across to 'editors' and hey presto, full package with all plugins works.

I have installed this per instructions - on ZC 1.5.4..... I see CKeditor in my Html editor... SO does this actually put the editor in the Product Description part of admin when you are adding products? I am NOT seeing it there if that is so....

Thanks

In the upper right hand side of the listing screen, you'll see a setting for editor -be sure it's set to CKEditor.

I did find that - but as soon as I set it for it - it switches back to text....

zc 1.5.5 installed live on linux server after test site built on WAMP. Latest version of ckeditor installed on the test site and functions properly.

On the live site admin/config/store has ckeditor as default and the product pages show it as selected. But in the product page there is no ckeditor in site - the product description box looks sized to receive the buttons, but nothing there. On the html_defines pages the selector is set to text but the drop down offers ckeditor. However when selected it just bounces back to text.

I did my live install of files via ftp. I checked and each file from the mod is present and in the correct folder. To be sure there was no glitch in the upload I re-uploaded the files individually, cleared my cache, turn admin/config/store selector off and on etc.

Only changes to files on upload was the config files, and everything else in the store seems to function propery. I had a few log errors related to tax settling that I hadn't bothered with in test store, and I had issues with Wordpress (in root and using WP4Zen) that were resolved by reloading that folder.

Are there any permission settings that might be different moving from windows to linux? Or any other ideas?
