Apparently they dont explain it very well in the install.txt
Here's how you do it
1. Download the latest CKEditor from http://ckeditor.com/download and unpack to catalog/admin/ext/ckeditor - ckeditor.js should now be in the top level of this folder. CKeditor 3.5 was released on December 17th, 2010.
2. Open /catalog/admin/includes/functions/html_output.php do a search and find and change the tep_draw_textarea_field (around line 252) to read:
$field = '<textarea name="' . tep_output_string($name) . '" id="' . tep_output_string($name) . '" cols="' . tep_output_string($width) . '" rows="' . tep_output_string($height) . '"';
3. Open /catalog/admin/includes/template_top.php and add the following before the </head> tag:
You can add the ckeditor to admin root directory I havent tested it to work out side the admin folder
<?php
if (!defined('USE_CKEDITOR_ADMIN_TEXTAREA')) {
tep_db_query("insert into " . TABLE_CONFIGURATION . " (configuration_id, configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, date_added, set_function) values ('', 'Use CKEditor', 'USE_CKEDITOR_ADMIN_TEXTAREA','true','Use CKEditor for WYSIWYG editing of textarea fields in admin',1,99,now(),'tep_cfg_select_option(array(\'true\', \'false\'),' )");
define ('USE_CKEDITOR_ADMIN_TEXTAREA','true');
}
if (USE_CKEDITOR_ADMIN_TEXTAREA == "true") {
?>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo tep_href_link('ckeditor/ckeditor.js'); ?>"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo tep_href_link('ckeditor/adapters/jquery.js'); ?>"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
var $editors = $('textarea');
if ($editors.length) {
$editors.each(function() {
var editorID = $(this).attr("id");
var instance = CKEDITOR.instances[editorID];
if (instance) { CKEDITOR.remove(instance); }
CKEDITOR.replace(editorID);
});
}
});
</script>
<?php
}
?>
Make sure to past the last code in the admin/includes/template_top.php
over top pf the <script></script> that contain the general.js name in the head before the </head> tag
