CKEditor on Drupal 7, simple but difficult
Hi,
I have Drupal 7.0 on "WAMP localhost". Two steps to take - in FOLLOWING order.
First you must install CKEditor "3x" from ckeditor.com.
Directory path: ...WAMP/WWW/"your drupal"/SITES/ALL/MODULES/ install here
Secondly install CKEditor "7x" (wysiwyg) from ckeditor.drupal.org (??my own memory??, if not browse drupal.org for CKEditor)
Directory path: ...WAMP/WWW/"your drupal"/SITES/ALL/MODULES/CKEDITOR/ install here
Final dir path: ...WAMP/WWW/"your drupal"/SITES/ALL/MODULES/CKEDITOR/CKEDITOR
If everything went ok, you´ll find a brand new module in Modules section. Check square, save and start producing tons of content. If not try to check what went wrong, read "manuals, forum topics" etc => introduce yourself to drupal. Good place for video tutorials www.learningbythedrop.com
First you must install
Shouldn't this be the other way around instead?
First install CKEditor "7x" from: http://drupal.org/project/ckeditor
Directory path: /SITES/ALL/MODULES/CKEDITOR <-- install here
Second you must install CKEditor "3x" from: http://ckeditor.com.
Directory path: ...WAMP/WWW/"your drupal"/SITES/ALL/MODULES/CKEDITOR/CKEDITOR <-- install here
Then, enable...
I've been trying for the past
I've been trying for the past few weeks to install CKEditor, but it seems like I'm missing some really obvious point. I am using Drupal 7 and installed the latest version of CKEditor.
I have it on my Drupal site. I verified the installation by testing out the sample pages and they worked out fine. However, I still cannot use the WYSIWYG editor when I edit my nodes. I can only edit with the plain text editor. I've scoured my administrative settings, and as far as I can tell, it should work. In both of my profiles (full and advanced/filtered) I have the default state set to "enabled" and the show/disable rich text editor toggle as "show".
I'm not really sure why it isn't working. Any ideas?
Thanks!
Edit: nevermind. I updated to the most recent version and re-installed and it seems to have solved the problem.
After the default
After the default installation of Drupal 7, CKEditor was not working, even after following the above advice precisely. I then enabled PHP Filter, and CKEditor worked!
Thank you!
Thank you for posting your experience, you saved me much time in trying to get it to work. :)
Appreciate your post!
Clarity
This took me an age to get right when configuring drupal 7 on a new host (namesco) so I thought I would share the final setting that worked:
Path to CKEditor: /sites/all/modules/ckeditor
Local path to CKEditor: /content/Hosting/i/d/example.com/web/sites/all/modules/ckeditor
Path to the CKEditor plugins directory: /sites/all/modules/ckeditor/plugins
Local path to the CKEditor plugins directory: /content/Hosting/i/d/example.com/web/sites/all/modules/ckeditor/plugins
fee for ckeditor
I am trying to install in drupal 7 and it requires a license. It is free? Or did you have to pay for yours?
Kindly,
Jenifer
You can use CKEditor freely
You can use CKEditor freely in your Drupal projects if you don't make changes to it. The free module that integrates it to your site is found here: http://drupal.org/project/ckeditor
CKFinder (file browser) is commercial though. You can find a commercial module for drupal that combines the two in here: http://ckeditor.com/ckeditor-for-drupal OR you can use free file browser like http://drupal.org/project/imce
As an alternative you could use TinyMCE: Drupal 7 - How to install TinyMCE and IMCE
The more typical way to
The more typical way to install CKEditor in Drupal 7 is with the Wysiwyg module, which offers additional benefits since you could potentially assign a different editor (or editors) to various text formats. It also makes it easier to add more buttons (provided by Wysiwyg plugin modules).
See you at the Drupalcon!
It's a long time since I
It's a long time since I installed ckeditor, but am I not correct in remembering that you shouldn't have both it and WYSIWYG installed at the same time?
Don't confuse the CKEditor
Don't confuse the CKEditor module with the CKEditor Javascript code library. Of course you would need the latter to use CKEditor, then you would choose whether to integrate it into your Drupal code using the CKEditor integration module or using the Wysiwyg integration module (which can use multiple editor libraries). You would only install one copy of the CKEditor library code and yes, if you use Wysiwyg, you would not also install the CKEditor module (and vice-versa).
See you at the Drupalcon!

Hi Kokki
Hopefully this will help: http://www.ostraining.com/blog/drupal/install-ckeditor-in-drupal-7/
CKEditor is one of the few editors that doesn't rely on the WYSIWYG module.
Also, make sure you're downloading the right package from the CKEditor site. Its easy to get the wrong one.
