how to use CKEditor 4.5.7 in a ASP.net project - ckeditor

i am highly confused why i cannot intergrate the latest version of CKEditor in a ASP.net website. Which coding technologies is the 4.5.7 version comapible with (ie: php/jsp/ect)?
Isnt CKEditor for any HTML page?
Currently the latest ASP.net version is 3.6 which lacks support from many new plugins.

I made a quick test:
download and decompress the .Net package from CKEdit site (3.6);
download the latest version of the javascript files (4.5.7);
check that the samples provided with the .Net package work fine;
rename the ckeditor folder in the solution and copy the new one downloaded from the site;
clean the solution and rebuild the projet, and check if it works fine;
replace the occurrences of the "kama" skin to the newer "moono" as the former one is replaced by the other in the 4.x version;
like this, it seems to be working just fine
Do you have specific issues I can look into?
HTH

You add CKeditor.js javascript to your pages and call CKEDITOR.replace('id-of-textarea-here');
You don't need any ASP.NET specific packages.

I need ckeditor to work on a smart phone

I understand that CKEDITOR doesn't work on smart phones. Someone provided a workaround that required editing the ckeditor.js. The statement he said to look for isn't in my copy of ckeditor.js so I'm stuck.
Also, ckeditor.js cannot be easily edited as it is all strung together in one big line. Is there a way to 1) get a copy of ckeditor that can be edited and 2) what do I have to do so it can be used on smart phones
Thanks in advance,
Paul
CKEditor 4 is compatible with mobile environments - refer to the official compatibility documentation. If you are using some antique version like CKEditor 3 (that predates most mobile environments), upgrade to latest CKEditor 4.
ckeditor.js is minified for better performance on production environments, but you can grab the source version any time directly from the GitHub repository or through CKEditor Online Builder (check "Source (Big N’Slow)" at the bottom).

Can online ckbuilder be used to build a prior version of ckeditor?

My company has strict rules about which versions we can use of open source software like CKEditor. Right now we are on 4.4.7.
I want to start using the online CKBuilder to bundle everything in a single ckeditor.js file. But it seems like the online builder at http://ckeditor.com/builder only deals with the latest version.
Is there a way to run the online CKBuilder against a prior release of CKEditor?
I don't think that you can change the way the online CKBuilder works, but you can run it locally with whatever version you want: http://docs.ckeditor.com/#!/guide/dev_build

CKEditor dll for ASP.NET

I am looking for CKEditor for ASP.NET but unable to use it because the dll library files are not provided in the setups available. Please guide how to include the dll library and provide any link where i can get those libraries.
If you're using ASP.NET WebForms (not MVC) and you're willing to use an older version of CKEditor (3.x from 2014) then you can download CKEditor for ASP.NET from the main download page. Scroll down until you see the "CKEditor 3.6.6.2 for ASP.NET" heading and click "Download now".
You'll get a zip file with a sample project including the DLL in debug and release versions. I just downloaded it now and it contains the DLLs.
Complete setup instructions are available here.
However, if you're not using WebForms this will not be of any use to you. I would also strongly suggest using the latest version of CKEditor (4.5.9 at the time of writing) and just adding the CKEditor script to your pages along with a textbox to hold the editor content.

Upgrading Joomla Version 1.5.20 to Joomla Version 2.5.4

I'm trying to upgrade Joomla Version 1.5.20 to Joomla Version 2.5.4.
I've upgraded other CMS's in the past, but Joomla seems to be a little different. Does anyone have any advice as to the best way to upgrade?
So far I've:
Downloaded the entire site
Exported the database via phpMyAdmin
I've installed MAMP and Joomla locally and I'm trying to replicate their site on my machine in attempt to upgrade locally before doing it live. I've loaded the template, but haven't been able to load the content yet.
There seems to be a lot of versions between 1.5.20 and 2.5.4, and it's making me a bit nervous.
You can't directly upgrade from a Joomla! 1.5.x version to the 2.5.x line, it's a migration.
As the 2.5 line is a big change to Joomla! you will have to find 2.5 versions of:
the template you're using
any custom extensions (ie. components, plug-ins, modules etc)
Version 2.5 has new technical requirements so you will need to check that your server meets those.
Once you've got all that resolved.
First thing you should do is upgrade a backup of your 1.5.x site to the latest version ie. 1.5.26 as it fixes some security issues, and the recent versions included 1 or 2 bugs that help with the migration.
Once you have that working you will need to use a migration tool as discussed in this document. Please note that while this document references JUpgrade, you would probably be better off looking at one of the other conversion tools, especially the commercial products (which aren't expensive at all).
We're about half way through migrating over 200 client websites and while we started out with the free 'recommended' component we now use the commercial SP Upgrade (I have no affiliation with this product other than purchasing it and using it happily).
To upgrade joomla the plugin JUpgrade is one of the options. its quite easy tool.
updation can only required some clicks.
Here is steps.
Step 1
The very first thing you need to do is update your Joomla 1.5 website to the latest security update (1.5.25 at the time of writing). Click here for the tutorial on how to update your site.
Step 2
create a backup of your website.
Step 3
We are going to use jUpgrade to migrate our website. You can download jUpgrade from above link.
Step 4
Once you have downloaded jUpgrade, install it in existing joomla using the extension manager (Extensions -> Install / Uninstall).
Make sure that you have loggedin with Super Administrator. ( It required super administrator rights to migrate database and media.)
Step 5
You need to enable the System - Mootools Upgrade plugin before you can use jUpgrade so navigate to extensions then plugin manager, do a search for the plugin and enable it. (Extensions -> Plugin Manager)
Step 6
Click on Start Upgrade, It will now upgrading automatically as below till completion Popup.
Now click on administrator, you will see Joomla newer version Login page and make sure that all content transferred successfully ( It will transfer only contents that will supported in new Joomla version)
JUpgrade will create new directory. Download & install Joomla newer version to new directory and transfer media and contents in newer one.

Removing default JavaScript files from ASP.net MVC 3 Project

I'm just starting out with ASP.net MVC 3 and I've created an empty project. I noticed that the scripts folder is populated with a number of JavaScript files, including:
jQuery 1.5.1
jQuery UI 1.8.11
Some jQuery plugins
ASP.net MVC libraries
I want to develop my application with the latest versions of jQuery and jQuery UI served from the Google AJAX CDN. My plan is to develop a single page AJAX application, and I don't see myself using too many of the build in features for model validation, however I would like to keep the option of using it open.
Will I run into any problems with my application if I clear out the Scripts folder completely? And will I run into compatibility problems using the latest versions of jQuery and jQuery UI with the ASP.net MVC libraries?
Will I run into any problems with my application if I clear out the Scripts folder completely?
No, if you don't use them.
And will I run into compatibility problems using the latest versions of jQuery and jQuery UI with the ASP.net MVC libraries?
No. The only compatibility problem I can think of was with jQuery UI and jQuery validate plugins but they are bot non-Microsoft so if you update them both to the latest version you won't have problems (this assumes of course that you are using client side validation, if you aren't its irrelevant to you).
So feel perfectly free to remove the scripts folder and reference external scripts from CDNs.
