[D7] Set default theme if selected not exists

Thank you for posting the painful process. I just spent quite a long time trying to fix a disappearing CKEditor because I installed the latest version (4.0). After reading your issue, I downloaded 3.6.5 and everything returned to normal. Suggest editing the COPY_HERE.txt to mention this issue. It currently states:

Go to http://ckeditor.com and download the latest version. Then
uncompress the contents of the "ckeditor" directory of the downloaded file to
this folder (modules/ckeditor/ckeditor).

" Settings need to be saved again as well as user account settings" doesn't seem to work... there is somewhere a setting sticking for the kama theme, I cant seem to find it, even disabled/uninstalled ckeditor :( I'll post back because it all works with kama theme, just not moono yet.

Searching in the db I found even after uninstalling fully, there were still references to ckeditor & kama in the user table... trouble is seems the setting is in the blob and not clean to remove by hand.

What I did to "fix" it for now was to simply swap the names of the skins... just renamed moomo to kama, seemed to work fine and now I have the moono theme. I agree with the OP, some quick check and clean out of old settings would be helpful, or at least a fully uninstall that cleans it all out.

Thanks for making this work with the new ckeditor, its much faster/cleaner etc. Cheers! :)

ha! never mind all that.... the skins are not totally consistent in naming... so renaming its a no go, it works but a lot of the images have different names and messes some of the buttons up. lol kama it is for now at least.

I can't seem to get the "Font" and "Size" controls to show up in the full editor. They render correctly on the demo page at http://ckeditor.com/demo#toolbar

Super simple fix... clean out kama from the user blob
SQL

update users set data=replace(data, 'kama', 'moomo') where data like '%kama%';

The skin selector in the admin doesn't seem to override whatever settings are there from the older version, nor does disabling & uninstalling the module. I tried re-saving a user node which also didn't clear the old stuff. After cleaning the db though all is well :) 4.0 is sweet!

@bkat
Are you sure you downloaded the Full ckeditor package and included all the additional plugins/skins?

That did it. Is there a list of which plugins/skins are needed?

@bkat, u probably need Full package of CKEditor (download). After install it everything should work

I make a little fix for bug with skin - i commit changes to GIT (diff).
Pls download last DEV and check does it help or not.

Now after fix, the script check does the skin saved in profile exists - if not it search and set default skin... if default skin not exists (moono or kama) it choose first skin from the list.

I am having the same problem with my testing this new update on my test site before implementing the update on our live site.

I have been playing about on test and confirm this working "#6 Posted by macrocosm" - Thanks macrocosm.

@jjsmyth1984, could u try last DEV version? i fix it there and now it shouldn't be problem with it...

hmm well im getting all these unserialize errors now from the ckeditor bits in the user blob...
Here is a couple
Notice: unserialize(): Error at offset 280 of 471 bytes in _drupal_session_read() (line 109 of /var/aegir/platforms/drupal-7/includes/session.inc).
Notice: unserialize(): Error at offset 280 of 471 bytes in UserController->attachLoad() (line 307 of /var/aegir/platforms/drupal-7/modules/user/user.module).

Here is the user blob thats throwing the error above... offset of 280 is right where I changed it to moomo, How can I clean out all that ckeditor stuff from the user blob? I think this is left over stuff from when the site was D6

a:10:{s:13:"form_build_id";s:37:"form-0e2214b5a4373c5d0ddf5c805184b6f";s:7:"contact";i:1;s:16:"ckeditor_default";s:1:"t";s:20:"ckeditor_show_toggle";s:1:"t";s:14:"ckeditor_popup";s:1:"f";s:13:"ckeditor_skin";s:4:"moomo";s:15:"ckeditor_expand";s:1:"t";s:14:"ckeditor_width";s:4:"100%";s:13:"ckeditor_lang";s:2:"en";s:18:"ckeditor_auto_lang";s:1:"t";}

You'll need to change s:4:"moomo" to s:5:"moomo"

update users set data=replace(data, 's:4:"moomo"', 's:5:"moomo"') where data like '%moomo%';

@bkat, the skin name is moono...
So u must change to s:5:"moono"

@caktux, do u see any javascript errors before profile resave? i must know where is the problem to fix it... for now i cannot reproduce this so it hard to fix sth...
As i understand good u resave CKEditor profiles not CKEditor Global Profile?

Thanks bkat :) that was it for those unserialzie errors, cheers!

A few more thoughts
The skin selector on the edit of ckeditor profiles is overridden when the theme is set in the user data blob. To override that I had to add config.skin = 'moono-dark'; to the Advanced Options - Custom JavaScript configuration. Or do a database search/replace with moono-dark

So I'm wondering is there supposed to be a form on the user edit screen for customizing the editor? I dont see one, I tried dis/re-enabling the permission to customize, but couldn't find where the user is to tweak that.

This new ckeditor is too sweet! The moono-dark is perfect on my dark site.

@macrocosm, user can change this in "user profile" editing -> "Rich text editor settings" section.

I never thought about overwriting skin saved in user profile...
Someone have any idea how to do this/fix it?
