I am migrating from ckeditor3 to ckeditor4. I went through the Builder to generate my download, and installed it. When my editor window comes up, it has LOTs of "things" on the toolbar, but many are missing the visible icons. The functionality is there - the tooltip will show up if I leave the cursor over that spot, and clicking will "do" what it's supposed to, but it's just a blank space. The attachement shows what I see. Help?
I'm also trying to understand how to move and hide many of the toolbar buttons without having to go back through the builder and re-downloading - in ckeditor3, it was fairly striaghtforward. 4 seems more opaque.
Thanks,
andy
re: many icons missing, functionality not?
Ok, so I have re-applied my toolbar config from ckeditor3, and the buttons that I want are in place and ordered correctly, but the icons/images are all messed up. Many are missing altogether (e.e., undo, redo), and many are wrong (flash is visibly a flag, while the flash icon is set on the "insert/remove numbered list" button. Kind of crazy, because the plugin that I added for the file browser is there and operational, but the icon for the "image" button is not there.

re: re: many icons missing, functionality not?
Ok, and now if I go to the sample page at <myplace>/ckeditor4/samples/replacebyclass.html, I see that the same problem exists. Obviously something wrong with my installation. I'm going to wipe out what I have and re-install, but I did that several times yesterday. Any help GREATLY appreciated!

A few tips:
A few tips:
(1) Clear the browser cache after each change!
(2) Before you create a custom build or add any 3.x files, download one of the pre-existing packages (Basic, Standard, Full) and try the samples.
(3) Installing third-party plugins needs some consideration, there may be some compatibility issues and sometimes it is recommended to add them one by one (lots of effort, I know) to determine a potential plugin conflict.
(4) It would help if you posted your build configuration (plugin list), maybe we will be able to figure ou what is wrong.

A few more tips
I've suffered from this anomaly since v4 came out and have dents in my head from trying to fix it...first off, this anomaly only occurs with the 'kama' toolbar and NOT the default moona. In many cases, the WRONG icons.png bitmap (both the skin and plugins files) is included in the download, a truncated one (it also complains of a missing skins.js file). While the above tips will clear up an issue with the broswer holding a previous bitmap in the cache, you MUST have the correct, current, and FULL icons.png bitmap available. The 'builder' never works for me in any windows browser since it never includes selected plugins (table resize, style parser), nor all the files needed for the kama toolbar.
Your best bet is to go to the 'Add-ons' Skins page and download the correct skin for the version you are using.
thanks for the tips
Browser cache isn't the issue, I clear that regularly. Looking at what was downloaded, there is an icons.png file at:
ckeditor4->skins->kama->icons.png
that seems to have all the icons in it. I have compared editor.css, and it seems (without me going in and counting pixels) to line up with the png file. Yet, the icons don't appear, or are completely wrong.
For Anna: I did download just the "Full package", without making any alterations, aside from choosing a skin (I chose "kama", to minimize confusion for our customers who currently see the default for ckeditor3, which is color icons).
For dleffler12: When I go to the skins page, I only see a way of building a whole download with my chosen skin, not a way to download just a skin... is there a different page from http://ckeditor.com/addons/skins/all ?
Am deleting and re-trying again.
icons.png file truncated
If you happen to use Firebug and select the 'blank' icons, you'll notice they point to a position greater than the size of the icons.png file (or so was my case). Again, the only fix for me to get the correct icons.png file was to download the 'kama' skin from the add-ons area.
Go to the Add-on's page, Skins, and click on the 'Kama' skin. When you are on the page which only refers to that skin, there will be one 'Download' button and two download links (4.1 & 4.0.3) near the bottom.
Yay! Problem solved!
dleffler12 - that did the trick. Downloaded and installed the kama skin, and all is well. Thanks so much for the help. Now perhaps the ckeditor folk could update the icons.png that downloads with the full package to prevent the ugly dents in desks...
thanks again,
andy
This is a joke!!!
It is ridiculous that sprite with icon changes between versions / builds
Using moonotone - I cannot upgrade CKEditor on production as icons will be broken for virtully every user.
It is even worse in my case - icons don't disappear they are SWAPPED AROUND - so your table icon becomes image link and so on
This mesn tens of support tickets from users who don't know what happened.
With many admins I cannot suggest that everybody clears their cache now;
Very very anoying, looks like amateur work. This should be seamless!!!
