JcM CKEditor V1.0

A simple add-on to let you place a WYSIWYG HTML editor onto your site’s admin.

 

CKEditor 4

Proven, enterprise-grade WYSIWYG HTML editor with wide browser compatibility, including legacy browsers.

• Paste from Word and Excel, spell check, accessibility checker, tables.

• Autocomplete, @mentions, widgets, code snippets, emoji 😊 plugins.

• Full control over content: HTML filtering, view source mode.

• Great accessibility: WCAG 2.0 AA and Section 508 compliant.

• Long-term support (LTS) until 2023.

For Phoenix simply copy new files into the required places and your done.

You can if you like do it the old fashion way as in the frozen method below.

 

For frozen it’s a simple edit of one template file, open :-

public_html/admin/includes/template_bottom.php and just before the </body> add this code,

 

<script src="https://cdn.ckeditor.com/4.12.1/standard/ckeditor.js"></script>
                <script>
                CKEDITOR.replace( "products_description[1]" ); 
                CKEDITOR.replace( "manufacturers_description[1]" );
				CKEDITOR.replace( "categories_description[1]" );
				</script>

That’s it your done. If you go to admin and edit a product you will see the WYSIWYG HTML editor on the product description box.

This is just a simple application of the editor you can expand it as much as you like.

It has been tested on Phoenix 1.0.2.0 only. It should however work on other versions and frozen

 

Enjoy.

Well done Zahid!

I am now using a custom built ckeditor.js which includes support for Bootstrap Tabs and iframes. These two features are really good for generating nice product descriptions.

Excellent addon @JcMagpie

We need more addon like yours to boost Phoenix since there are very few addons and the core of Phoenix is awesome!

Best regards

Good morning Zahid @JcMagpie.

I was testing the addon on my new Frozen test site and it didn't work. Is this addon only for Phoenix?

Best regards

I have only tested on Phoenix 1.0.2.2 but it should work on anything as admin side has not changed. However for frozen you must do the edit.

[♥JcMagpie 1,329]

just tested on frozen and works fine.

Your public_html/admin/includes/template_bottom.php  should be like this

<script src="https://cdn.ckeditor.com/4.12.1/standard/ckeditor.js"></script>
                <script>
                CKEDITOR.replace( "products_description[1]" ); 
                CKEDITOR.replace( "manufacturers_description[1]" );
				CKEDITOR.replace( "categories_description[1]" );
				</script>
</body>
</html>

Good morning Zahid.

I found the problem !!
My site is in Spanish, I had to change

CKEDITOR.replace ("products_description [1]");
to
CKEDITOR.replace ("products_description [2]");

That made the aditor appear!

Thank you very much Zahid for your excellent support and addon !!!

Hi @kgtee

Changing

<script src="https://cdn.ckeditor.com/4.12.1/standard/ckeditor.js"></script>

for 

<script src="https://cdn.ckeditor.com/4.12.1/full-all/ckeditor.js"></script>

You can insert iframes and also have many more options that are enabled in the editor.

Best regards.

Yes but ^^^^

[♥JcMagpie 1,329]

1.0.2.5 is NOT other versions of Frozen but that mute, as i just installed on 1.0.2.5 from scratch and look works out of box!

[♥JcMagpie 1,329]

If I was to take a guess your either got a js conflict or have installed the hook in wrong place! It needs to be in

public_html/includes/hooks/admin/siteWide/ckedit.php

[♥JcMagpie 1,329]

Oh and if you do @valquiria23 edit you can have the full version

<script src="https://cdn.ckeditor.com/4.12.1/full-all/ckeditor.js"></script>

That too works with 1.0.2.5 with no issues.

[♥JcMagpie 1,329]

Anyone installing this to add discriptions to osC CE should remember that your site is responsive! So anything you add using CK must also be resposive or you will have none responsive product_info page.

Also if editing in <> code then make sure to check as a missing closing </> tag can brake your site or worse as it's beeing saved in db.
