CKEditor Extension

[growler]

CKFinder - is good. I use CKEditor just because it supported by CKFinder

[y.pagles]

I have a modified version of the ck editor embedding code in: http://gist.github.com/642171 that solves the problems when adding in multiple tab panels and a few more I could spot. Please tell me if I 'm missing something.

[demon222]

how to integrate their solution with CKFinder?
might like the following?:

....

    Ext.ux.form.CKEditor.superclass.constructor.call(this, this.config);
};

Ext.extend(Ext.ux.form.CKEditor, Ext.form.TextArea, {
    onRender : function(ct, position){
        if(!this.el){
            this.defaultAutoCreate = {
                tag: "textarea",
                autocomplete: "off"
            };
        }
		
        Ext.form.TextArea.superclass.onRender.call(this, ct, position);
		CKFinder.setupCKEditor( null, '/media/js/ckfinder/' ); // patch to ckfinder folder
        CKEDITOR.replace(this.id, this.config.CKConfig);
    },
    
    setValue : function(value){
        Ext.form.TextArea.superclass.setValue.call(this,[value]);
        var ck = CKEDITOR.instances[this.id];
....

and what ckeditor field validation?????????

how to dynamically replace the textarea field to ckeditor field using the button label such as a textarea field???

[felenka]

As it's known, the CKEditor uses iframe to display the content, therefore you cannot "catch" when data are changed using the standard methods

This is a little "trick" that might be useful when you do need to know if data in CKEditor has been changed or not

The ckeditor field definition looks like:

{
    name: your_name,
    id : your_id,
    xtype : 'ckeditor',
    CKConfig: YourCustomConfig,
    value: your_value
    /*... anything else ...*/
}

Then, after the CKEditor is loaded and initialized, you can "catch" the onBlur event of iframe and identify if data has been changed:

if ( Ext.getCmp(your_id) ){
    CKEDITOR.instances[your_id].on("instanceReady", function(){
        CKEDITOR.instances[your_id].on('blur', function(){
           var obj = Ext.getCmp(your_id);
           if ( obj && obj.originalValue != CKEDITOR.instances[your_id].getData() ){
                   // data changed - do something!
           } 
        });
    });
}

your_id - should be the same in CKEditor definition and "catcher"

I haven't set up listener on "keyup" or "keydown" events but you may try them as well

Hi all,

There's any workaround to stablish the height of the CKEditor in order to fit to an existing layout?

[Zolcsi]

understand my English is poor.

I found the answer is shown below. Right?

  getValue : function(){   
    CKEDITOR.instances[this.id].updateElement();     
    var value=CKEDITOR.instances[this.id].getData();
    Ext.form.TextArea.superclass.setValue.apply(this,[value]);
    return Ext.form.TextArea.superclass.getValue.apply(this);
  },

Here is a slight modification to the code above:

getValue : function(){
if(!Ext.isEmpty(CKEDITOR.instances[this.id]))
{
CKEDITOR.instances[this.id].updateElement();
var value=CKEDITOR.instances[this.id].getData();
Ext.form.TextArea.superclass.setValue.apply(this,[value]);
}
return Ext.form.TextArea.superclass.getValue.apply(this);
},

With this it works when the ckeditor component is not rendered
