We are using Ckeditor from long time, it is great wysiwyg editor
I set ckeditor version:"4.4.7" for setting up my email templates content.
My issue is as described below
Some of my email templates contain html and body tags , and some inherits common header and footer from other source, so what I am in need of is disable stripping my any input I enter.
I used allowedContent : true option but it does not work with html and body tags.
I also used fullPage : true , issue with this option is it always add html head title and body section, I do not need this always, in same email templates, sometimes I need , sometimes not.
In short what I need is to stop ckeditor changing my any single character what I type.
Used fullPage : true, but always I do not need html title head and body tags, but If I type, it should be there otherwise not.
CKEDITOR.replace('myeditor',{
allowedContent : true,
fullPage : true
});
I expect to stop ckeditor changing my any html, even I dont want automated html and body tags when I switch to source using "fullPage:true"

Several questions in one here but I suspect will all have the same answer.
Using the CKEditor in a CakePHP project where the content being edited is to make the html part of an email.
Most email applications don't fully support HTML net alone true HTML5.
An example of which is to center text in an email paragraph you use either <p align=center> or <center></center>
In the CKEditor when in source mode editing if do a <p align=center> and save it (or just toggle the source edit mode) it removes the align=center because in HTML5 that's no longer valid.
How can I allow this in the CKEditor?
Can I enable HTML4 validation instead of HTML5?
I also have a table in the template where half of it is edited in a field(textbox) called Header (the header of the email template) and another field called footer.
In the Header I want <table><tr><td>
In the Footer I want </td></tr></table>
Then my message content is placed in the TD cell between the header and footer.
However the CKEditor won't allow me to have an HTML TAG and not its closing TAG.
Any ideas on how to make this happen as well?

To change the HTML that it's accepted by CKEditor, adjust its ACF settings. The simplest way is to allow everything:
config.allowedContent = true;
That won't solve the halve tables part.
For that you can try to use config.protectedSource, defining a rule for both the opening and closing parts, but taking care to add also something there that allows you to target only that table and not any other table that might be in the content.
(Of course the best solution would be to but that table outside the editor when you create the mail with all the parts)
I have a text_area field in a form which allows some text formatting through a very simple WYSIWYG (bold / underline / bullet points). This was aimed at having a consistent formatting in the description profile of the users.
<%= l.text_area :access, value: "#{t('.access_placeholder_html')}" %>
Nevertheless, some users usually filled the text_area by copy / pasting directly from their website. And their specific formatting "hypertext links", font size, etc. is after reflected on my website, which makes it a bit dirty.
How can I solve this problem. Ideally I would love that when saving the form it gets rid of all the HTML code that is not allowed instead of not allowing copy / paste. Is this possible? Was wondering if should use Sanitize but if so how? (Sorry new to code, I guess you would have understood).
You didn't say which version of Rails, but you could use #sanitize from ActionView::Helpers::SanitizeHelper module to strip all the HTML formatting. It scrubs HTML from text with a scrubber. The default scrubber allows optional whitelisting of attributes. You can even build your own custom scrubber to modify the string if you need more control over what is output. The module also contains #strip_tags and #strip_links, which are very simple scrubbers that remove all HTML tags and all HTML link tags (leaving the link text).
Note that you can wind up with malformed text if the user's input wasn't valid HTML.
Quick examples from the docs:
// remove all HTML tags except <strong> <em> <a> and the
// <href> attributes from #text
nomarkup_text = sanitize #text, tags: %w(strong em a), attributes: %w(href)
// remove all HTML markup
strip_tags("<b>Bold</b> no more! <a href='more.html'>See more here</a>...")
returns the string Bold no more! See more here...
// remove just the link markup
strip_links('Please e-mail me at me#email.com.')
returns the string Please e-mail me at me#email.com.

I am using CKEditor 4.4.5.
Users use the text colour icon to change the colour of a word which works fine. When one checks the underlying HTML, it shows:
<p><span style="color:#FF0000">test </span></p>
However when clicks the "source" icon again to return to the standard non HTML view, the colouring has gone, although the underlying HTML is still correct. If you take this HTML and render it in a browser it will work correctly. So it seems that CKEditor is not able to render text colour correctly, unless freshly changed using the text colour icon.
We had customers thinking that the colour had not changed, and then trying to fix the issue in the HTML, which resulted in the total corruption of the HTML due to human error.
Is this a bug, or am I missing something?
Thanks.
As for CKEditor it might so happen that Advanced Content Filter will strip undesired tags / attributes.
If you don't have colorbutton plugin, CKEditor will strip this span (see standard demo).
You have 2 simple solutions:
Add colorbutton plugin.
Simply add to your config:
config.extraPlugins = 'colorbutton';
Add ACF proper rule.
config.extraAllowedContent = 'span{color}';
For more informations about ACF see Content Filtering (ACF).
We have additional placeholders, which are embeded in conent edited by CKEditor and we need to be possible to place such placeholders before and after TR-tag, so we could organize repeating of data in the table. But CKEditor probably find that is not valid HTML and take out repeater placeholders before the table.
For example I write next html in source mode:
<table><tbody>{start}<tr><td>...</td></tr>{end}</tbody></table>
I switch to html mode and back to source, now my html is treated to the next view:
<p>{start}{end}</p> <table><tbody><tr><td>...</td></tr></tbody></table>
Possibly there is a CKEditor switch to turn off all syntax cleanup or specially for tables?
Try Adding this line to Config.js file:
config.allowedContent = true;
CKEditor is not a source code editor, but a WYSIWYG editor which uses browsers' contenteditable implementations for its editing feature. Therefore, it needs to work on valid and real HTML.
Although, check the config.protectedSource setting. You'll be able to hide those {start|end} tags from parser.
I am Using CKEditor in my application where the users can write blogs, create pages etc..,
Source mode is disabled for the editor. Writing xml in the editor's text area is not retained after saving the content. I clearly see that the content got HTML Encoded and the same is supplied as input to the CKEditor's textarea.
Works as designed. Whatever you enter into the WYSIWYG area, will get HTML encoded. How would you want to behave it differently?
If you want a text editor for writing XML, maybe the answers to this question are useful: Textarea that can do syntax highlighting on the fly?
I too want CKEditor to support XML tags, but I understand that you can't just type them into the main window - anything typed here is assumed to be actual content, not tagging, and therefore gets encoded.
What I'd like to do is define a list of styles that cause a tag of my choosing to be used, e.g. if the user chooses the 'example' style, CKEDitor does <x>content</x>. Unfortunately I haven't had much success with this, despite hacking the dtd.js file.
My current solution is to define a list of styles but map them to a standard HTML tag, then put my desired XML tag name in as an attribute. I'll then need to write some XSLT that transforms the data later.
CKEDITOR.stylesSet.add('myStyles',
[{
name: 'Example sentence',
element: 'span',
attributes: {'class': 'example', 'data-xmlTag': 'x'}
}];
config.stylesSet = 'myStyles';
element specifies a standard HTML tag – I use <span> if I want the XML to be inline and <div> if I want it to be block level. The data-xmlTag attribute says what XML tag I actually wanted to use (x in this case). The class allows me to define some styles in CSS and means I can group several XML tags under one class name. To define some CSS:
config.contentsCss = CKEDITOR.basePath+'tagStyles.css';
