After updating Drupal 6.15 to 6.16 CKEditor won't replace body fields

Same problem here. I've gone over every setting and nothing seems to resolve the problem. Also, when clicking on the "Switch to plain text editor" link nothing appears to happen.

Same here. Firebug shows:

uncaught exception: [CKEDITOR.resourceManager.load] Resource name "drupalbreaks" was not found at "/sites/all/modules/ckeditor/plugins/drupalbreaks/undefined?t=A1PD".

@Juanzo - make sure you have uploaded the latest version of CKEditor (the editor) available here: http://ckeditor.com/download
After uploading the latest version of CKEditor (3.2, please re-download it even if you have already downloaded it), please clear Drupal and browser's cache, check whether CKEditor works as expected and let me know if that helped.
(your problem looks like a duplicate of #725754: Drupalbreaks problem with CKEditor 3.2)

Hi,
I have a fresh drupal 6.16 installation. This is my first try at installing and using CKEditor. I'm using the Page content type, expecting the Body to be replaced by CKE. I'm also not getting any CKEditor pane; just a blank space where it should be. Also the switch to plain text editor does nothing. The only contributed module enabled is webform. Disabling it did not help. I also disarmed the html filters, without any improvement.

Here is my firebug error message:

l.lang.common is undefined
http://www.vedabee.com/sites/all/modules/ckeditor/ckeditor/ckeditor.js?I
Line 43

I'm not sure if any of the above helps, but it is what I see.
Thanks,
Bob

All of a sudden mine started working again. It's possible there was something in a cache causing the problem.

Clearing the browser cache cleared mine. YEAH!

Funny thing tho, my CKE background is the page's body background image and not my textarea background color. Back to the hunt...

Thanks wwalc!

Bob

@bmarcotte: OT, but you can change that in the configuration by not to load your theme css into the editor area.

After upgrading to Drupal 6.16 and CKEditor 6.x-1.1, the editor would not display. Messed around with caches, module weight, etc, no go. Switching back to CKEditor 6.x-1.0 made it work again with the new Drupal version.

I did find find the headers were different between the two CKEditor versions:

1.0 has this ABOVE the "links" (not in the script section) of html/head:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/sites/all/modules/ckeditor/ckeditor/ckeditor.js?I"></script>

The script element for ckeditor.js is missing from the headers in 1.1 (caches disabled so link/script shows up in source).

(It may be the intermittent operation experienced by some is because the script is stored in the Drupal js cache and gets found.)

Anyone here using a custom CK Editor profile instead of Default or Advanced?

http://drupal.org/node/742244

I think this may be related?

@bperet - sounds like a serious issue. Can you send me a PM with a link and some temporary pass/login to a web site where I could check it?
Is it possible that you have upgraded or changed a template and that template is missing some code required by CKEditor: http://drupal.ckeditor.com/troubleshooting#1 ?

@wwalk/#10 - I'm now having this issue as well... I can give you a login to my site to see the problem if you'd like. Was working fine until Drupal 6.16.

Set a little more concise title...

Also, marked as duplicate: #740016: CKEditor not showing up

I'm having the same issue.
Using Drupal 6.16, CKEditor 6.x-1.1, and module 3.2
I've uninstalled the module, deleted it from my sites/modules folder, cleared the cache of both my browser (firefox 3.5) and the drupal cache, then reinstalled the module using the latest downloads (as of March 16, 2010 11:30am eastern) and I still cannot get the toolbar to appear, my settings are accurate, I have permissions properly set and am not using a custom profile, just trying to use the advanced profile that came as installed.

Any help would be appreciated.

I too am seeing the issue of the editor bar not appearing for a large number of users of our site. I had the problem w/ CKEditor 3.1 w/ the 6.x-1.0 module. I was using on Drupal 6.15, and later 6.16. It is intermittent for some (comes and goes), and more systemic for others. Happens across FF and IE7. I upgrade to CKEditor 3.2 and the 6.x-1.1 module in my dev and test environments (identical in every way, except not facing the public). Had some people who were having the problem persistently in prod check the new install in dev and test. They were fine. I thought the problem was solved. Rolled it into production, and a large number of different people had the same issue.

I turned off all JS aggregation/caching, still no luck. Yes, I always clear my drupal caches (have cleaner running every four hours). I even disabled page caching (yes, this is a large high volume site, but I am getting desperate here). Lot's of users complaining that this never happened on typepad or wordpress (we just converted last week to this new Drupal-based platform, and it is getting a very bad wrap because of it).

And yes, my configs are clean (I have only the two standard profiles, with one modified by removing some toolbar buttons), my install is clean, and converting from 1.0/3.1 to 1.1/3.2, I did a disable / uninstall / reinstall. The site was built & configured by very experienced Drupalers, and the infrastructure is rock solid (stripped down Ubuntu 9.10 / php5.2 / MySQL 5.1 / Apache2.2 MPM w/ mod_fastcgi & eaccelerator 0.9.6) on a very large piece of iron.

I also like that, Install Drupal 6.16 and CKEditor 6.x-1.1 (Editor: CKEditor 3.2), the editor would not display, Switching back to CKEditor 6.x-1.0 (Editor: CKEditor 3.2) is the best. Why?

Same problem with Drupal 6.16 and CKEditor 6.x-1.1

Problem with Drupal 6.16 and CKEditor 6.x-1.0 (+ blue marine themes). But, with garland themes, this module is working.

Reverting to CKEditor 6.x-1.0 fixed the problem for me...

Reverting to CKEditor 6.x-1.0 made the problem to disappear for me as well (although it is not a solution).

On dev version bug also appear ?

Yes, it did yesterday when I tested the dev (downloaded also yesterday).

So it seems like a cache problem for a few sites, and a serious problem for a few others. By examining CVS messages, I think that this change might be the cause http://drupalcode.org/viewvc/drupal/contributions/modules/ckeditor/ckedi... (C library problem on specific platform?) Why don't use the simple:

$value = strtolower(trim($matches[3][0], " ;'\"\n\r\t\0\x0B"));
if ($value === 'true') {
  $value = TRUE;
}
else if ($value === 'false') {
  $value = FALSE;
}

I still don't understand the logic here, but that's another issue.

This might be new to everyone but the problem is the same. I have one fresh new D6.16 web site and I decided to use CKeditor. I worked perfect and it was as easy as it gets.

Then I decided to use this for my other websites too. I used to have FCKeditor for years with no problem. I Upgraded D6.15 to D6.16 then I disabled FCKeditor and uploaded the lasted CKeditor 6.1.1 with application 3.2 from the source. I did all the installation requirement but I did not manage to get the editor appear on any content forms. I removed the FCKeditor module from the system and updated the D6.16, but it did not helped.

I my Status report I get

CKEditor 3.2
You are using a feature that requires $cookie_domain to be set, but it is not set in your settings.php (CKFinder is enabled in the Advanced profile).

Now I wonder how I can solve this issue? Do I have to go for older version of CKeditor module? But on a fresh Drupal it did not have any issues.

Just FYI, wwalc is working on this issue - I think he'll have a good solution soon! I'm guessing it has to do with a problem in the upgrade from FCK->CK, or from CK 1.0 to 1.1.

This Module solved all my problems with CKeditor.

http://drupal.org/project/wysiwyg

It works with same manner but there is no issue in using CKeditor

@jcisio: The way which i using to compare string isn't point of this issue. Bu t if you will have an easy mind, i can change it.

From yesterday i'm trying to reproduce this bug. Upgrade From Drupal 6.14/6.15 to 6.16 with also upgrade module from 1.0 to 1.1, cache enabled/disabled and others. I can only saw a few php notices, which are fixed in dev version. I'm using for tests (server)Debian Lenny (2.6.27.10) with PHP 5.2.12-0.dotdeb.1 with Suhosin-Patch 0.9.7 from dotdeb.org and PHP 5.3.2, Apache 2.2.9.

@geerlingguy: can you send me pm with temporary login and password where i can see this bug?

@geerlingguy - thank you for providing me a link to check it.

@anyone having this problem - In "Visibility settings" please set "Minimum rows" to 4 (or less) and save the profile. Let me know if that solved the problem.

I have it on 1 and it still doesn't fix it (for me).

@stripped your speech - any chance to see that bug live? (PM with a link?)

Can't- on a dev site. Maybe its related to this? http://drupal.org/node/742244

The editor simply won't show unless I use either profile that comes with CK Editor.

Don't know if this is related, but I was having the same problem... Drupal 6.16, Ckeditor 6x-1.0 updated to 1.1 and my editor disappeared. Browser cache clear, Drupal cache clear didn't solve it.

Then I remembered I had a custom ckeditor.config.js which I had forgotten about, and deleted with the upgrade. I thankfully had a local copy of the old ckeditor.config.js, which I put in the module folder and...problem fixed.

In my case CKEditor stopped showing after simple upgrade from 1.0 to 1.1 (nothing deleted - extracted the new version, uploaded, ran /update.php), on D6.16. As I said, reverting to 1.0 (extract, upload, /update.php) made the problem disappear.

wwalc: I made that change to Visibility settings. No go.

My situation is possibly a little different. I'm running a multi-site Drupal (9 sites). I run Ckeditor on two of them. A few days ago, it was working fine on both those sites under 6.16. Then I moved everything to a new host -- basically an rsync + database dump/restore. However, that broke Ckeditor on one site (http://www.bayridgebarks.org) identical to this complaint. But Ckeditor still works fine in the other site. This would tend to rule out the distributed Ckeditor module because both sites are using the same code.

What about moving the site would cause Ckeditor to stop working on one of the sites? File permission change?

I'll be glad to give you a temp admin login to check things out.

Thank you! set "Mininum rows" to 4. Solved the problem.

:) The min 4 rows solved my issue as well.

There is minor problem which I as a LTR and RTL user experienced with FCKedior as well. You see if I choose Editor appearance "DrupalFull" I will not get the Style dropdown option in my tool bar which I need to make sure the direction of the text and the language.

So I choose Editor appearance "Full" but now I in this setting I loose the new teaser "break" button which is very much needed.

Is there and way that these two can be on the tool bar at the same time? Why not add Style to "DrupalFull" option?

I can confirm that moving to 1.1 caused CKeditor to disappear. I tried upgrading to the 2010-Mar-22 1.x-dev, but that didn't help. I downgraded to 1.0 and CKeditor immediately reappeared.

I think I've the same problem as I've postet here befor I've noticed this thread.

But still after upgrading tu ckeditor 1.0 the editor is not shown, only for the admin, not for other useres with ckeditor rules.

Any solution?

Comparing ckeditor with fckeditor I've noticed that sometimes even for the the user 1 the ckeditor is not shown. This could be fixed every time after clearing the browser cache. But from time to time the browser cache has to be cleared to show the editor again. This I've not noticed with fckeditor.

I've tried this module http://drupal.org/project/wysiwyg but with the same result, no editor for profiles.

And I've noticed a strage behavior with both modules (wysiwyg, ckeditor, with ckeditor 1.1 and 1.0):
The first time I used the profile to check the first content the editor apeared. Any later check does'nt shows it.

After clearing my browser cache, the editor toolbar re-appeared. I reported this way back in #1. Today I tried to change the settings for a role to use the Drupal Full toolbar and I'm having the same issue but just on that (default) profile. My advanced profile that I personally use works just fine.

Editing the minimum rows to "4" (I previously had "5") also worked for me (admin/settings/ckeditor/edit/Advanced > Visibility settings).

Weird and completely frustrating.

If you create a new profile, the editor won't appear. It only shows if you use Default or Advanced. If you delete them and create them and name it as Default or Advanced, that works. If it has any other name it won't work.

I've got the same problem. 616 install with newest version of ckeditor (upgraded both). I've tried every suggestion here. Resetting min rows doesn't work, new profile holding to default and advanced doesn't work. If I just take ckeditor module on the module page and unclick it will it uninstall enough so I can try the older version? If not is there a way of getting it out of my database without something horrible happening? Haven't ever had to go back a version before not sure what happens. I'll also take any other suggestions.

Thanks

Have you guys got print $closure; in your theme? If not this is probably the problem. Try switching to another theme to see if it persists.

I wanted to use my theme css so I added

 body.cke_show_borders {
  background:#ffffff;
}

To get a white background. That way it's more WYSIWYG.

However, I still can't get the background styling changed for toolbar dropdowns like Format because it's not visible in Firebug.

@visceroid - This is occurring to me on two separate themes in which $closure is called. Sorry, don't think this is the culprit.

Had the same problem and it is extremely annoying. In my case ckeditor.js - for some reason - was never included into the theme. So double check that something like

<script type="text/javascript" src="/sites/all/modules/ckeditor/ckeditor/ckeditor.js"></script> 

is actually in your html. If you are using a custom module, you probably will be fine by adding a line like

function hook_init(){
drupal_add_js(drupal_get_path('module', 'ckeditor').'/ckeditor/ckeditor.js');
}

If you feel really fancy you probably want to do some extra checking like module_exists() && file_exists()..

Best of luck to you.

For those having CKEditor not loading anymore on textarea with "Minimum rows" set to 5 OR higher, after upgrading, I solved setting "Minimum rows" to 4 OR lower (in /admin/settings/ckeditor/edit > Profiles > [YOUR PROFILE] > Visibility Settings).

PS: I'd kindly suggest developers to inform downloaders about this issue with a notice on the module page or the readme file, thank you.

Maybe something new to add - ckeditor didn't show up for me when working with my site via Firefox, but using the same user, same site, with Safari... ckeditor showed up just fine.

@sbogner: have you got any javascript error ?

I didn't see any javascript errors, and it's all working fine now in both Firefox and Safari - I didn't change a thing on the site.

Make sure you have completely cleared browser's cache.

I had the same issue (no CKEditor interface visible in text area) and solved it:

I had installed, but disabled the CKEditor SWF Module. Once enabled, CKE works like a charm.

I'm curious - why was this thread (and other threads like it) closed? I don't see a fix explained anywhere. Did I miss something?

@domesticat - I was cleaning up the tracker while targeting tickets to 6.x-1.2. There was a lot of opened tickets where either the submitter did not provide a reply or the issue was already fixed in the dev release, that's why I closed a lot of tickets yesterday.

The minimum rows issue should be fixed in the dev release. A couple of other issues (fixed in dev) were also reported in this topic and it simply become a mess.

So:

If anyone is still having a problem with the CKEditor module:
- using the latest dev release of CKEditor module
- and the latest stable version of CKEditor (3.3.1 or 3.2.2)
then please start a new separate issue for each bug/problem you have found.

Make sure that the bug comes from CKEditor module, not from a third party module or a custom theme. Make sure you have cleared all cache after upgrading (Drupal and Browser's cache).

If something does not work in Firefox, please let me know if you have any JavaScript errors in Firebug.

This will really help me in reproducing bugs and tracing which issues should be fixed in the next stable release (#791382: CKEditor 1.2 release, which hopefully will be coming soon), I hope that makes sense.

Well done thank you, I will try this!

this problem only happened for me when making custom ckeditor profile...
comment #27: changing the Visibility Settings -> Minimum Rows from 5 to 4 worked for me right away! this is after an hour or so of struggling with trying to get it to show up. thanks! :)

Changing the line height from 5 to 4 on both profiles was the fix for me! This was brutal and frustrating!

thanks everyone,

Loves out to the Drupal community!

Peace,
Patrick

Then I remembered I had a custom ckeditor.config.js which I had forgotten about, and deleted with the upgrade. I thankfully had a local copy of the old ckeditor.config.js, which I put in the module folder and...problem fixed.

Thank you thank you thank you, I was starting to pull my hair out!

I have opened up another similar issue (hopefully with more details). #953778: CKEditor blanks body field on Firefox (and IE)

Best regards,

D

Setting minimum rows to 4 also worked for me. But the strange thing is CKeditor seemed to be fine in my other multisites.
