Hi,

I am building an install profile based on Features and Strongarm. In the feature I would like to incorporate the path to the library, this is not possible via strongarm (which reads the variables table).
The path should become 'profiles/
/libraries/ckeditor/'. Right now I achieved this by copying and modifying ckeditor_admin_profile_form_submit() (after modifying the $settins array) and place it in my feature.install: 

$settings = ckeditor_admin_values_to_settings($edit);
    db_insert('ckeditor_settings')
            ->fields(array(
                "name" => $edit['name'],
                "settings" => $settings
            ))
            ->execute();

Could anyone comment on this solution? Is it ok, is there a better way?
The best solution would be if CKEditor became Strongarm compatible, but I guess that will take a while.

Thanks in advance

If u want to change ckeditor path u should update in database "ckeditor_settings" table where name is "CKEditor Global Profile" and set your new ckeditor path to "ckeditor_path" in array (see ckeditor.install file - lines 134-140).
This is information which u except? Because i don't understand exactly what u need :)

In CKEditor module in version 7.x-2.x all settings will be moved to Drupal variable table. I work on it now, so it should be released in DEV version asap.

Thank you, that's the info I need, a lot easier!

The thing is that I want to change the path programmatically to 'profiles/profilename/libraries/ckeditor' instead of the standard 'sites/all/modules/ckeditor'.
When I do not change it, than the module can't find the library.
Now I can make my feature with 

$arr['ckeditor_path'] = 'profiles/profilename/libraries/ckeditor'; 
'db_insert('ckeditor_settings')->fields(array("name" => "CKEditor Global Profile", "settings" => serialize($arr)))->execute();

in the feature.install and it works automatically.

Hi --

I too am making an Install Profile with D7 that is using this module. I'm not sure where you are setting ckeditor_path() to, but I use Drush Make to add it to my install profile so the module path becomes the following from the drupal root:
/profiles/YOURPROFILENAME/modules/ckeditor

Similarly I can tell Drush Make to install the ckeditor source to:
/profiles/YOURPROFILENAME/libraries/ckeditor

But, your requirements() check assumes that this module will install in sites/all/modules .... breaking being able to use this module upon simple install.

See this blog post for some clarification:
http://engineeredweb.com/blog/10/5/3-tips-using-external-libraries-drupal

I used the above example fix in a db_update() within my install profiles hook_install() to fix it ..... but I feel this module should be "looking everywhere it could" to test if ckeditor module is installed, not in some hard-coded location.

@tenken, pls not reopen old issue but create new issue with your problem...
It is impossible to look everywhere for CKEditor plugin - other modules give u only one location to download and load any plugins. Autodetec is only on 2 base locations - module and libraries, if u want to have it in other place u can customize it - we cannnot do more with it.

Hi,

@tenken to achieve your goal you could use Libraries module.
That approach used in Drupal Commons distribution (Libraries included into distribution).
