CKEditor 3.0 RC released!

Great! Looking forward to trying it out.

One question though. How do you integrate it on the server side for uploads?

In FCKeditor, you used this command: parent.OnUploadCompleted

What should the server return for CKEditor?

This looks excellent.

But would it be possible to get support for a class name for the table dialog box at long-last? I imagine this would be as simple as just duplicating the code for caption and summary to add the extra attribute, so presumably a low-risk addition. Giving a table a class cannot be that uncommon these days.

This looks good - well done

One major issue though that if fixed would make it really better is being able to embed flash code and not just flash urls.

At the moment if you try to embed flash code using FCKeditor (even in source) e.g. <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data=".....swf"></embed></object> it breaks it.

This prevents people embedding content from lots of major sites.

Please can you add a flash text field as well as url embed?

Keep up the good community work

Excellent WORK....

Image "Browse Server" and "Upload Image" is not available... is there any config setting to enable it...

hello,

CKEditor 3.0 looks good. Will there be a port to enable mediawiki usage i.e. a standard mediawiki extension that admin's can install?

Cheers, Alan

Great, can't wait to try it out!

It looks very good.
I just have one remark/question :

When the editor is empty , and i click on the field , it doesn't always focus the editor , to allow me to type something.
I really have to click on the first line , for that.

In FCKeditor , i can just click anywhere in the editor text box , and it puts the focus the field.
It would be great if this was possible in ckeditor too .

Congratulations, things are really progressing!

I am in the process of making an on-line CMS and used the "replace DIV on the fly" sample as a starting point for the text editing (multilingual, so several textfields in parallel). I noticed that the sample in 3.0RC was modified to remove the fieldset, which was however a nice fence around the text-fields.

COMMENTS ON SAMPLE OPERERATION (see attached file, feel free to use the code)
While toying around with the code, I found that the code of the old sample wasn't foolproof and that it only worked with plain "Latin" and not with CKedited texts. I made a correction to that, such that when you click in a DIV containing edited text, the code will climb the nodal hiërarchy until it finds the FIELDSET-DIV combination (in a complex situation -style, bold, italics nested- there maybe 4 or 5 steps).

I changed the way in which this sample closes the editor: when double-clicking outside the text-DIV's, the editor will be closed, and no other opened. When double-clicking inside a text-DIV, a new editor instance will be opened and, if there is an existing editor instance, it will be removed.

Also, I added an "is_dirty check" in order to be able to ajax-save the modified text to a PHP-SESSION array.

POSSIBLE BUG??
I discovered that after "editor.destroy", the editor is indeed removed from the screen, but it is still possible to request, for example, "editor.name" and "editor.checkdirty()"

QUESTION
In the CMS application, I have tried to start the double-click listener by a pushbutton event, which works very well. This allows to prevent opening the editor when the system is not in editing mode (modify record, append record). The problem is that I could not stop the listener by another pushbutton.

I am possibly wrong on the use of "remove listeners". Any suggestions???

Thanks in advance, Gerrit ZAAIJER

Just downloaded CKEditor 3.0 RC and WOW! I switched to TinyMCE from FCKEditor a while back due to issues related to integration (no details at this time) all I can say is that integrating the new CKEditor was easier than anything I've done before. Few minor changes to my existing source, little bit of reading on the source code, and I'm up and running. I think this one hit the nail on the head.

I do have one request though, any way you can get CKEditor to show tags it doesn't know how to render? I'm using this in a CMS that utilizes XHTML and XML templates and while CKEditor edits all of this just fine, my custom namespace tags don't show up. So I have to toggle the source view and add in my custom tags by hand. It would be nice if I could see them inline and edit them just the same.

Simple sample:
<t:description />
<t:foreach key="key" value="question" var="questions">
<t:processquestion question="$question" />
</t:foreach>

When I edit this with CKEditor it displays it as a blank page and then upon submit changes it to:
<p>
<t:description> <t:foreach key="key" value="question" var="questions"> <t:processquestion question="$question"> </t:processquestion></t:foreach></t:description></p>

Not exactly what I would expect.

I'd love to be able to just type in the above and have it submitted as I put it in.

The following is what I'm using in my app to switch the editor on and off. If the user doesn't have rights to edit, I simply don't include the JS file for editing and make sure on my backend I check the post credentials.

function toggleEditor(id) {
  var e = CKEDITOR.instances[id];
  if(e){
    e.destroy();
    CKEDITOR.instances[id] = null;
  }else CKEDITOR.replace(id, {uiColor: '#F2F5F7'});
}

Is there any way to activate the *browse functions in the RC release?

Hi,

can i edit the toolbar?

they are to much icons

I loved CKEditor 3.0 it's really great editor and the code is much beater and more neat then th previous version.
Thanks for all developers who worked on this new release.

As I working in ASP.NET I need CKEditor to encoded generated HTML encoded ("<" - as &lt;, > - as &gt; )
for avoiding a "potentially dangerous Request.Form value" exception in .NET .
There was a special config feature in FCKEditor 2.6 called HtmlEncodeOutput
I found out it ain't exist in CKEditor 3.0 RC

My question is: Is it in your planes to add this feature ?

Thanks for reaply.

Sincerely,
Evgeny Satanovsky web developer.

I would love to use test this as well for my system, but I don't see any documentation on enabling the buttons, or any changes I need to make to my browse dialogs.

I am hyped to use this on my CMS as CkEditor actually works on my cell phone

Thanks,

What's your cell phone and what browser does it use?
and, you mean that FCKeditor 2.6.4 doesn't work but CKEditor does?

With regards to the File browser, the official integration has been stated that it will be published in 3.1

Is the "Browse Server" and "Upload Image" function not implemented yet?
But in the plugin folder there is an folder "file browser"!

How did i enable this feature?

looks great!
a few comments:
1. when using the editor in a rtl page [in IE], the x-scroller is stretching and when the clients scrolls it all the way left you see something as 'Rich text editor, editor1'. for example, if using this code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="rtl">
   <head>
      <script type="text/javascript" src="ckeditor.js"></script>
      <title>CKEditor Test</title>
   </head>
   <body>
      <textarea class="ckeditor" id="editor1"></textarea>
   </body>
</html>

Hi, great work - I've just downloaded ckE.
There is one big BUT - wille there be PHP integration? Now I'm using FCK through php just displaying result in html - in CK I can't see that option...:/

Hi,

I have downloaded this version and tried using it in Adobe AIR.

Is it safe to assume that this version of CKEditor does not work in Adobe AIR?

When I run any of the demos, it returns blank areas where the textareas are meant to be.

Keep up the great work!

How can I enable the filebrowsing in 3.0RC? Is this already possible?
Or how can I else create a button to popup a dialog which returns a part of code on closing?

edit: Ok, I found a way of opening a jquery dialog and pass some code into the editor when clicking on a button added to the editor.

what have you done with the UI? It looks horrible!!!

How did you do it? I see the filebrowse and flash plugins, but cant get to enable the flash upload option... without that I will have to use fckeditor....
