I tried to upgrade to the suggested .17 release of CKEDITOR. Once I upgraded from the .16 release, the editor no long appears when creating a page. I checked the permissions but it does not appear.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for your time.

Hi,
Perhaps look at the README.txt and the TROUBLESHOOTING.txt files that are located in the unzipped ckeditor folder. The README.txt states that you must download an additional file into the ckeditor sub-folder. I had a similar problem & this cured it.

Hope this works.
Cheers! - drew-pal

In my case, Ckeditor was looking for a plugin in the wrong place (/sites/all/modules/ckeditor/ckeditor/plugins). I had installed the ckeditor library and its plugins under /sites/all/libraries/ckeditor , and eventhough i had the right configuration under the ckeditor settings it would still look for the plugin in the wrong folder.

I just moved the whole ckeditor lib and plugins under /sites/all/modules/ckeditor/ckeditor , and change my configuration settings accordingly.

Hope that helps

Thanks for both of your responses. I tried the troubleshooting steps as well as your suggestions and I am still getting nothing. It displays this when i create a new page:

CKEditor: the ID for excluding or including this element is giordani:story@node/add/story.edit-body.

Also, when I try to switch over to PLAIN TEXT editor, nothing happens as well. It also says javascript void (0) in the bottom right corner of firefox. Yep, I have tried this on IE and Chrome as well.

Any other ideas?

Here is something else that is strange. When I go to "view code" it does reference the CKEDITOR.

Ok. So here is what I did:

1. First off, normally I install the actual CKEDITOR in the sites/all/ckeditor/ckeditorlocation.
2. Something that one of the guys above jogged my memory about the sites/all/libraries directory.
3. So i uninstalled CKEDITOR.
4. Moved the ckeditor folder from sites/all/ckeditor to sites/all/libraries (I am talking the actual CKEDITOR binaries, not the CKEDITOR module for Drupal.
5. Enabled CKEDITOR
... and it worked.

6 hours of pulling my hair out... FML.

Thanks guys for helping me out with your suggestions. I think the Drupal community is rad.

I encountered a similar problem after upgrading from Drupal 6 to Druapl 7. I disabled/removed the jQuery modules and voila it worked!
