[Need Help] CKEditor is deleting my xml-tags and adding p-tags

Thanks for the tips i already succed in telling CKEditor NOT to add automaticly a p-tag by adding the following linnes to my config.js:

config.autoParagraph = false;
config.enterMode = CKEDITOR.ENTER_BR;

when i solved the other Problems i will report my solution for other users.

CKEditor can in this case operate with my .xml cause a servlet only directs parts oft it (sections) to the editor and the sections contain xhtml-content, so when i manage it, that CKEditor can handle xhtml, then it schould work fine for me.

I searched a bit more, it seems CKEditor is trying to auto-fill my xhtml-content so I just need to tell him to redirect the loaded content 1:1.

BTW: CKEditor is an awesome tool and you can be very proud of it.

EDIT: myactual config is:

    config.autoParagraph = false;
    config.enterMode = CKEDITOR.ENTER_BR;
    config.allowedContent = true;
    config.entities = false;
    CKEDITOR.filter.disabled = true;

I hope any1 one can help me or give me a hint how i solve this Hirarchie mixing :O

Hello,

I just talked with my supervisor and he wnats to have a changed standard behavior, the problem was CKEditor didn't knew that the hidden and some othe elements can be empty (without childs), so he was changing them, but because this situation will often it will be better to change the sndard behaivior if CKEdtior hits an element wich it doesn't know.

That means normal html-content can be edited automaticly by the editor but when an element shows up, which the editor doesn't know he shall just give the input 1:1 to editor wondow without any changements.

Is it possible to change the Editor's standard behavior?

Hey ist seems solved,

I just set the dataprocessor to null, and nothing is ever changed :P.

This is OK for me cause the User knows in this case what to do.

here my config:

    config.language = 'de';
    config.autoParagraph = false;
    config.enterMode = CKEDITOR.ENTER_BR;
    config.allowedContent = true;
    CKEDITOR.dataProcessor = null;
    
    CKEDITOR.config.flashAddEmbedTag = false;

Edit: It works fine with the maximized version but CKEDITOR.dataProcessor = null; doesn#t work in the minified version, for that i created a bug-report.

Hi,

After I talked directly to CKEditor-developer I noticed, that there are always some filters that can't be turned of.

So i decided to modify CKEDITOR.dtd and added my tags I need.

But now I noticed, that CKEditor is changing large and lowercase of <submitButton .../> to <submitbutton ... />.

I need to turn that of: how do I doo it?

Here my config.js:

CKEDITOR.editorConfig = function(config) {

	// %REMOVE_START%
	// The configuration options below are needed when running CKEditor from source files.
	config.skin = 'kama';
	// %REMOVE_END%

	// Define changes to default configuration here. For example:
	config.language = 'de';
	config.autoParagraph = false;
	config.enterMode = CKEDITOR.ENTER_BR;
	config.allowedContent = true;

	CKEDITOR.config.flashAddEmbedTag = false;
	CKEDITOR.dtd.$empty ={area: 1, base: 1, basefont: 1, br: 1, col: 1, command: 1, dialog: 1, embed: 1, hr: 1, img: 1, input: 1, isindex: 1, keygen: 1, link: 1, meta: 1, param: 1, source: 1, track: 1, wbr: 1, cell: 1, hidden: 1, include: 1, output: 1, subselect: 1, target: 1, submitbutton: 1, textfield: 1, text: 1, item: 1, submitButton: 1, cancel: 1, 'search-website': 1, sitemap: 1, space: 1, label: 1, condition: 1};
};

EDIT: i got some more problems:

1. i have some tags like <cell> which CAN be empty but it also can contain children

2. like I wrote before some filters are chaning submitButton to submitbutton, any changing of the names of nodes must to be turned of, for me

Thanks for the advice, i found earlier the XML-Plugin http://ckeditor.com/addon/xml but it seesm not to work.

I added it and I added config.extraPlugins = 'xml'; to my config.js, but nothing changed in the behavior (even if I run only the plugin and do no changes to dtd).

After a small Dialog with an other developer, he gave me the hint to try http://docs.ckeditor.com/#!/api/CKEDITOR.config-cfg-protectedSource
I just added all custom-tags I found, but probably CKEDITRO is now adding a <br /> in front of my source, if i delete and save, everything is fine.

But if i don't delete it all < are replaced by &lt; and > by &gt;.

Why is it that doing, when i have config.autoParagraph = false; set in my config?
part of my config.js:

        config.autoParagraph = false;
	//xml-elements 
	config.protectedSource.push(/<\editor[\s\S]*?\>[\s\S]*?<\/editor\>/g);
	config.protectedSource.push(/<\cell[\s\S]*?\>[\s\S]*?<\/cell\>/g);
	config.protectedSource.push(/<\hidden[\s\S]*?\>[\s\S]*?<\/hidden\>/g);
