So I have a new installation of D7 and I installed CKEditor with IMCE and when I go to create a new Page, the CKEditor does not show up. I checked the permissions, since I am Admin, I should see it not matter what, right? I went into each "Filtered" and "Full" settings but everything is set correctly. Does anyone know why it is not showing up?

are you using the wysiwyg module (plus the ckeditor library) or the ckeditor module? we're using the wysiwyg module + the ckeditor library on D7 (+ imce + imce_wysiwyg), and it's working well.

for our recipe, the process is something like:

  1. create your text formats
  2. install all the modules
  3. install the ckeditor library
  4. assign ckeditor to the desired text formats
  5. when editing a node, switch to one of the text formats from the step above to see the editor

Actually I found D7 does not have all the modules I need to create my website for a client so I am just going to use D6 until D7 has more available modules.

I'm seeing exactly the same effect.
I installed D7 on an Ubuntu 10.10 instance. After the basic install I loaded wysiwyg and then ckeditor. The editor installed properly and I configured wysiwyg to use it for Filtered HTML, Full HTML, Plain text.
When I create content, the page loads but instead of getting an editor space (complete with the button selections I made) where I can insert text etc. all I see is whitespace on the page - that is the size I expect the editor to be.
Looking at the source of the page, there is no mention of ckeditor.

Since I was able to configure the editor, D7 obviously sees it, so it must be in the correct location. I have checked that the .js source files all have read and execute permissions

If I removed ckeditor as the editor for plain text, I can create articles and pages using the default editor (just a box to insert text) and save it. One strange thing. if I go to edit a created (plain text) page I can see the edit box. if I change the Text Format to Filtered HTML the box disappears, not too surprising. However, changing the Text Format back to PLain text does *not* get the edit box back. I have to refresh the page to restore editing capabilities.
I've tried this with both FF4 and Opera 11. The same behaviour is seen with both browsers and JS is enabled.

Will try installing another editor .... stay tuned.

[Later] Good news. Installing TinyMCE works fine. The problem appears to be with ckeditor

I had the same problem with WYSIWYG module installed and CKEDitor in sites/all/libraries/ckeditor folder, as outlined in the README file. I selected the CKEditor to be enabled with Full HTML. When editing content the editor opened but no buttons displayed. I had to edit the Full HTML profile and select which buttons/plugins to display (at: Configuration->Content Authoring->Wysywig Profiles->Full HTML->Edit->Buttons and Plugins). Once I enabled the desired buttons, the editor behaved as expected.

Hope this helps..

Hi,

I use drupal 6.20 and easyphp 5.2.10 and installed ckeditor : in sites/all/libraries/ckeditor and ckeditor module in site/all/modules/ckeditor. I've tried many things to make it show up, but none worked so far. It happens if it's a new content or an old content.

I tried starsinmypockets's hint and checked button's boxes in Wysywig Profiles but nothing changed.

The same occurs with FCKeditor.

Any idea anyone ?

I had a similar problem. Disabling "jQuery Update" resolved the issue for me.

I'm also having this issue. it works fine on MAMP but not on a PHP5.2.17/MySQL 5.0.X shared hosting. I also do not have Jquery update installed.

I love Drupal. Always.

Same issue - I found that I got CKeditor to work with WYSIWYG module with Ckeditor library - 3.3.1.5586 but not the latest version.

Also watch out if you are using the Media module and enabling the Media Browser check box in Ckeditor profile Buttons.
If you have not changed text filters to convert media tags to mark-up this will prevent the changes to the editor saving and thus display no buttons.

I have recently had this same problem, and I concluded that the CKEDITOR V 4.0 still doesn't run with drupal. I downloaded the previous version (3.6.5) and it worked perfectly.

Hope this helps someone

Literally within the past 5 minutes.

1. Installed Drupal 7.17
2. Installed WYSIWYG Module (current version)
3. Installed CK folder into /sites/all/libraries (this one I downloaded a week or two ago, but it was the most recent version)
4. Enabled WYSIWYG Module
5. Went into the configurations page to all the profile.
6. Setup the profile for "plain text" and "filtered text"
7. Added buttons.
8. Save

I have my very nice little editor - no issues. My current server is LAMP running Ubuntu.

Running Drupal 6 and the CK editor window suddenly disappeared.

Several modules were out-of-date including the CKEditor so I updated everything, ran the update script and re-checked my settings for Administrator/Site Config/CKEditor. I had to choose a toolbar once more in my CKEditor profile as well. Once that was done the editor window displayed once more.
