CKEditor 4

New Features and Improvements:

  • Let's welcome Wim Lemmens (didgiman). He's our new responsible for the ColdFusion integration. In this version we are introducing his new files with the following changes:
    • The "Uploader", used for quick uploads, is now available natively for ColdFusion.
    • Small bugs have been corrected in the File Browser connector.
    • The samples now work as is, even if you don't install the editor in the "/FCKeditor" directory.
  • And a big welcome also to "Andrew Liu", our responsible for the Python integration. This version is bringing native support for Python , including the File Browser connector and Quick Upload.
  • The "IsDirty()" and "ResetIsDirty()" functions have been added to the JavaScript API to check if the editor content has been changed.*
  • New language files:
    • Hindi (by Utkarshraj Atmaram)
    • Latvian (by Janis Klavin)
  • For the interface, now we have complete RTL support also for the drop-down toolbar commands, color selectors and context menu.
  • [SF BUG-1325113] [SF BUG-1277661] The new "Delete Table" command is available in the Context Menu when right-clicking inside a table.
  • The "FCKConfig.DisableTableHandles" configuration option is now working on Firefox 1.5.
  • The new "OnBlur" and "OnFocus" events have been added to the JavaScript API (IE only). See "_samples/html/sample09.html" *
  • Attention: The "GetHTML" function has been deprecated. It now returns the same value as "GetXHTML". The same is valid for the "EnableXHTML" and "EnableSourceXHTML" that have no effects now. The editor now works with XHTML output only.
  • Attention: A new "PreserveSessionOnFileBrowser" configuration option has been introduced. It makes it possible to set whenever is needed to maintain the user session in the File Browser. It is disabled by default, as it has very specific usage and may cause the File Browser to be blocked by popup blockers. If you have custom File Browsers that depends on session information, remember to activate it.
  • Attention: The "fun" smileys set has been removed from the package. If you are using it, you must manually copy it to newer installations and upgrades.
  • Attention: The "mcpuk" file browser has been removed from the package. We have no ways to support it. There were also some licensing issues with it. Its web site can still be found at http://mcpuk.net/fbxp/.
  • It is now possible to set different CSS styles for the chars in the Special Chars dialog window by adding the "SpecialCharsOut" and "SpecialCharsOver" in the "fck_dialog.css" skin file.*
  • [SF Patch-1268726] Added table "summary" support in the table dialog. Thanks to Sebastien-Mahe.
  • [SF Patch-1284380] It is now possible to define the icon of a FCKToolbarPanelButton object without being tied to the skin path (just like FCKToolbarButton). Thanks to Ian Sullivan.
  • [SF Patch-1338610] [SF Patch-1263009] New characters have been added to the "Special Characters" dialog window. Thanks to Deian.
  • You can set the QueryString value "fckdebug=true" to activate "debug mode" in the editor (showing the debug window), overriding the configurations. The "AllowQueryStringDebug" configuration option is also available so you can disable this feature.
