CKEditor not showing up, cannot edit Body fields [#2149351]

What version of CKEditor should be used? Currently, this is the recipe for CKEditor that we have been using.

projects[ckeditor][version] = "1.x-dev"
projects[ckeditor][type] = "module"
projects[ckeditor][subdir] = "contrib"
projects[ckeditor][download][type] = "git"
projects[ckeditor][download][revision] = "57245a9"
projects[ckeditor][download][branch] = "7.x-1.x"
; Integration with Media 2.x
; http://drupal.org/node/1504696
projects[ckeditor][patch][1504696] = "https://drupal.org/files/issues/ckeditor_1504696_77.patch"

libraries[ckeditor][download][type] = "get"
libraries[ckeditor][download][url] = "http://download.cksource.com/CKEditor/CKEditor/CKEditor%204.3%20Beta/ckeditor_4.3_beta_standard_all.zip"

When trying to inline edit a long text field, I am unable to edit the text and the ckeditor plugin does not load.

Looks like we are missing some stuff.

Edit: CKEditor's "Shared Space" plugin is included "Shared Space" CKEditor plugin missing
This plugin is essential for CKEditor to work with in-place editing.
Please create a custom build of CKEditor that includes this plugin.

Edit: CKEditor's "Source" button is used "Source Dialog" CKEditor plugin missing
This plugin is necessary to keep the "edit source" functionality while in-place editing.
Please create a custom build of CKEditor that includes this plugin.

Is there a custom build you can link us to? Is it whitelisted for packaging on D.O.?

Twice: "not yet". I don't think CKEditor.com's builder supports either yet, either.

I'll talk to them about this.

create a CKEditor custom-built with the Shared Space and Source Dialog plugin. The editor in the library folder and check your reports afterwards. But still not working after the plugins are properly installed.

What do you mean by "plugins properly installed"? Edit asks you to create a custom build, i.e. a single JS file that already includes these plugins.

I went to http://ckeditor.com/builder, selected the Standard profile, then added the "Source Dialog" and "Shared Space" plugins, accepted the terms, downloaded the .zip, extracted it to profiles/df/libraries/ckeditor and POOF, it all worked.

So there definitely isn't a bug here.

What is a problem though, is that there isn't any direct download link for custom builds of CKEditor. The CKEditor team is working on that though, and they tell me they'll probably have it by the end of the week. It's being tracked at #2169401: Provide direct download link for the necessary custom build of CKEditor.

Hopefully #2169401: Provide direct download link for the necessary custom build of CKEditor can be resolved soon.

FWIW, a way people have gotten around this sort of thing in the past is by patching libraries for distributions. An example of this, removing the 'examples' directory for Plupload (see: #1903850: [meta] Patch to remove plupload library examples folder for Drupal distribution)

So, as a last resort, we could diff a custom build against a stable CKEditor release and then provide a patch for distributions to use.

Hi all,

I tried out the solution (http://ckeditor.com/forums/Support/CKEditor-Blanks-block-body-field) which is basically suggests enabling css optimization as it is believed that CKEditor has issues with IE css file limitations.

This didn't work so out of frustration I tried Wim's recommendation of updating my CKEditor as per #8 above and copied the files into my Drupal directory. Cleared the cache. Still no luck.

I was unaware of this post so I already had posted the problem (https://drupal.org/node/2172293). I have two sites, both pretty much configured the same, running the same core and module versions. One works, the other does not.

It is so frustrating as I cannot add descriptions or images to the title of the Webforms that I am trying to add to my site.

Is there a setting in one of the other modules that can be effecting CK running with Webform? CKEditor is working with all the other functionality in the site. Just not in Webform??
