CKEditor v.4 in CodeIgniter 2 project [closed]


Okay this really isn't hard at all...

Put this in the head of the page you want the ckEditor in, obviously pointing to the correct path for your application:

<script src="'.base_url().'assets/lib/ckeditor/ckeditor.js"></script>

Then in the body where you want the editor:

<textarea cols="80" id="editorName" name="editorName" rows="60"></textarea>

At the bottom of the page:

<script type="text/javascript">    CKEDITOR.replace( 'editorName' );</script>

It's honestly that easy.


using codeigniter & Ckeditor 4.02 based on code from the ck example page

 <script src="<?php echo base_url();?>ckeditor/ckeditor.js"></script> <?php // static example to populate form with text $formvalue = "Here is some text to appear in the form box. " ; ?>  <textarea class="ckeditor" name="editor1"><?php echo $formvalue ?></textarea>

You can also use the CI form helper

 <?php $formvalue = "Here is some text to appear in the form box." ; $formdata = array(      'class'  => 'ckeditor',          'name'        => 'editor1',          'id'          => 'SomeID',          'value'       => $formvalue        ); echo form_textarea($formdata) ; ?>

Next step would be replacing $formvalue with a database result to populate the form (like editing a blog post, etc). And if you use the CI Form helper it needs to be loaded first, the easiest is to autoload it in config/autoload.php

Now -- If some brilliant person has some tips on creating a custom tool bar...?
