Integrating CKeditor with PHP - CreateHtml

datalink wrote:Did you try the example from php files, cir. line 120?

Hi
thanks for replying, but which example? Are you referring to the php folder in _samples directory?
I've found nothing in there that gives a lot of information apart from the basics, and not anything that seems to relate to createHtml or similar, but let me know if there is something that I've missed.

Okay
so in ckeditor_php5.php I see this at line 128
* $CKEditor->editor("field1", "<p>Initial value.</p>", $config, $events);
is this what you are directing me to?
If so, this is as per the examples in _samples, and creates an immediate instance of a textarea, whereas I would like to create dynamic html that I can then 'echo' into a template.
I have done some testing with $CKEditor->editor and $CKEditor->replace methods, but they won't work gracefully as a replacement for CreateHtml with the upgrade.

//Old:
include_once 'fckeditor.php';
$oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor('yourEditor') ;
$oFCKeditor->Value = '<p>yourHTML</p>' ;
$oFCKeditor->Create() ;

//New:
include_once 'ckeditor.php';
$CKEditor = new CKEditor();
$CKEditor->editor('yourEditor', '<p>yourHTML</p>');

That's how it works.

Hi Datalink
- yes - thats one way of doing it. It creates the input immediately.
In FCK you could also do this:
$inputString = $oFCKeditor->CreateHtml();

This way, textarea is not yet added to the page. I can echo $inputString to the page later.
I use this when I create wysiwyg inputs dynamically on a page. An include file creates the html for one or more dynamically named textareas and passes them back to the template which positions them. This way, I can use the include file to create input fields for many pages without having to write FCK code into the template each time.

[quote="datalink"]You can set $CKEditor->returnOutput = true; With it echo $inputString; should work.

Hi Datalink
that looks exactly like what I need - will have to try it tomorrow.

Out of interest, how did you find that? - I've searched through the documentation and there is nothing covering this as far as I can see.
Searching the forums for returnOutput I now see other people asking similar questions, but it seems strange that nothing is given officially.
