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?

Problem solved - there are two .png image files in /editors folder. The larger of the two didn't successfully navigate the ftp move on either occasion. Third time's the charm and all works. Also, on the third try I first deleted all the ckeditor files from the server instead of just overwriting them. Explains (to me) why there appeared to be room for the tool bar on the product description box. Not sure why I didn't get an error message in /logs.

No permissions unique to CKEditor (it only needs standard Read permissions, just like everything else), but certainly could be permissions issues generally or screwed up FTP. Ask your hosting company for help with setting permissions that allow normal read access by the server process that runs PHP.

It wouldn't have been the /editors/*.png files. But reloading your ckeditor files probably solved it.

I see in the current CKEditor download (3.7q) that the file /YOUR_ADMIN/ckeditor.php has been removed for initial installs on Zen Cart 1.5.5. Does this mean that upgrades to Zen Cart 1.5.5[a] should remove that file?

I think that since CKEditor is a mod and not part of the Zen Cart distribution, this was just a cleanup.

Right. The plugin doesn't need the file because it's already present in v155 and identical.

If anyone else is having difficulties viewing the CKEditor menus on a MacBook when using v3.7q, see this post.

I installed CK Editor in Zen Cart 1.5.5.a but the editor bar did not show up in the product pages. Re-uploading the editor from http://ckeditor.com/download resolved it. Hope this helps somebody else!

I had the same issue and this also fixed it. Thanks terraGirl

Hi, I have a vanilla install of the latest zencart (1.5.5) and I uploaded the ckeditor directory (no other admin files for 1.5.5) and it does not show up in any of the drop down menus. I've logged in, cleared cache and still nothing. What else could I be missing? I looked over the readme file and doesn't say anything else. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Wow...I assumed admin the whole time. I have corrected and working. Thanks!

I just installed the latest version, but the "paste" function isn't working. It tells me my browser setting don't allow my clipboard to be accessed (huh? it works everywhere else), pops up a separate window with instructions to "paste" using the keyboard. But when I do, it erases the data and the page remains blank. :(

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Working on an upgrade to ZC1.55e.

Reading through the installation instructions and looking at the files I noticed that there is only one file in the admin file for v1.55.
Should I use the admin file for 1.51-1.54?

As I read the instructions, there are no admin changes for the 1.5.5 admin

Well I screwd something up.
I see CKEditor in the drop-down, but it's not showing up anywhere.
tried clearing my browser cache and reloading the admin page...Nuttin'.

On my way back to square one.
I've been adding mod's all day and this is the only one that's kicked my a$$.

Time for less HTML and more beer!

You should only have dropped the editors folder into your install. You did not need to do anything from any of the other admin folders, so if you used the 1.5.1 to 1.5.4 folder then you need to delete them from your install.

Easier said than done I'm afraid....at least for me.

Not even sure where to start.
I didn't see any uninstall files.

If you did add the files from the 1.5.1-1.5.4 folder, it should be very simple. Just go to your admin/includes and replace ckeditor.php with the original from the 1.5.5 fileset. There is nothing to uninstall. You could also delete the editors/ckeditor folder and re-upload in case something got messed up during the transfer.

Huge THANK YOU!!
That fixed it.

Hi,

I think there may be a glitch in the mod... at least when the "optional" instructions for renaming the editor folder are applied.

I have a fresh install of zc155e, plus a few mods. CKEditor works just fine until I try renaming the 'editors' folder.

I added the following to my /admin/includes/configure.php:
define('DIR_WS_EDITORS', 'new_folder/');

Then I changed the name of my editor folder from "editors" to "new_folder".

When I log into Admin, there is a persistent error message that states:

You have an HTML editor selected in 'My Store' but the '/editors/' folder cannot be located. Please disable your selection or move your editor files into the '/editors/' folder

However, when I go to Admin > Configuration > My Store > HTML Editor, CKEditor appears on the drop down list. More over, I am able to open a product, edit the content using the wysiwyg, save it, and then go see my changes on the catalog. All while not having a folder named "editors".

Anyway, seems that the mod is hard coded to check for the specific folder "editors" rather than using the defined directive. I'm not sure where the check occurs, nor how to turn it off.

I'm thinking of simply reverting the folder name back because I'm not using an image uploader add on. I only did it because... well, seemed easy enough and more secure.

SIDE QUESTION:
While grepping for references to "editors/" I noticed that my .htaccess contains the following (for CEON uri):

Don't rewrite editors directory

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/editors/ [NC]

Unsure whether or not that could be sniffed out, I decided not to update that to:

Don't rewrite editors directory

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/new_folder/ [NC]

Seemed to work fine anyway. Am I safe to use my editor without "don't rewrite"?
