I am trying to implement CKEditor v4.3.2. The way our product is set up is there are multiple areas of our pages that can be edited - we open an editor in a modal window and use the iframe method for editing. It works great with one exception:
If the page DOM looked something like "body > div#container > div > div#editcontent"
and there was CSS rules targeting that DOM then the CSS does not apply in the editor because the editor DOM is simply "body"
What I would LIKE to do is supply the editor with the HTML DOM Structure of the page that holds the editor so the ContentCSS rules that normally impact the div would still apply (e.g. white background in the div instead of background color from the body tag)
I am at a loss for how to accomplish this.
Thanks!
If you want the content of editor to inherit styles of your page, so a full integration with all the styles applied with every kind of selector, then you would have to use inline editing. Only inline editing offers that.
When using classic editor (the one using iframe) you still have an option though. It's the config.bodyClass setting which lets you assign a class to the body element into which contents is loaded. Then, if all your contents styles selectors starts with that class and a stylesheet is loaded using the config.contentsCss setting, the content inside editor will look similarly to your final page.

I'm using CKEditor 5 on my website in order to allow users to generate PDF templates for their company.
My issues is, that once I take the data out of the ckEditor, every styled element has a class="CSS-Class-Here", which is problematic due to the fact that when I convert the HTML contents of the CKEditor to PDF, the PDF doesnt know any of these classes.
Is there any way to get CKEditor to save these classes as inline styles?
I know that its possible to create a plugin for a specific element for a specific style, but I want everything to act this way, not something specific.
Also, It's impossible to just inject the styles into the PDF itself, due to the fact that ckEditor keeps their styles in javascript functions and creates them on demand.
For example:
Yellow highlighted text comes out as:
<mark class="" marker-yellow "">Random Text</mark>
I would like it to come out as:
<mark style="background: yellow">Random Text</mark>
Meaning that the style that's present in the marker-yellow class should be applied inline directly to the element itself.
I have a CKEditor widget resembling a tab-module.
As editables I have defined a span.title and div.content.
When I am in editing mode inside a span.title and then paste something using CTRL+V, the span gets broken and I have two spans. As if it gets divided on whatever position I paste.
When I am in editing mode inside a div.content and then paste something using CTRL+V, the contents of the clipboard are correctly inserted into that div.
Is it because span is an inline-element and div is a block-element and CKEditor doesnt allow pasting into inline-elements?
Can I somehow change this behaviour?
CKEditor allows pasting of block and inline elements (keep in mind that content filtering (ACF) can be used which also affects pasting) so it is probably not the issue in this case.
I would also make sure that the content which you are trying to paste does not contain any HTML which may cause the behavior you described.
If you could provide widget HTML/template or code which you are using I will be glad to investigate this issue in more depth.
I had this issue when trying to have a <cite> element as an editable. Trick was to tweak the CKEDITOR.dtd properties.
// This prevents the pasting from splitting parent element.
delete CKEDITOR.dtd.$removeEmpty.cite;
// This tells the editor to allow editing in this element.
CKEDITOR.dtd.$editable.cite = 1;
I imagine this would affect the behavior of all <cite> elements in any editor currently loaded. Not ideal in all cases for most elements, but for our requirements for a blockquote/pullquote widget, the <cite> element is only allowed inside our <blockquote> elements in any editor.
How can I show documents created with Ckeditor in read only so that they as much as possible like in the editing mode but without having to create the editor for each message?
In my project users can send messages to each other among many other things and they create the messages using Ckeditor. I would to render message threads in readonly mode without having to create the Ckeditor for each message. Doing that would be slow and would consume a lot of vertical space. Another problem with that approach is that removing the toolbar removes formatting. I would like to just have the messages in div tags and add a class to them and then include Ckeditor css file. Or also acceptable would be to have one element with certain class whose children would get the Ckeditor styles. Before putting the messages in the html response I do whitelisting on the server so the docs are safe to put inside for example a div tag.
I solved this by wrapping the message in an iframe element and added dynamically a style element that links to the Ckeditor style sheet. Now the message gets Ckeditor styles and I don't need to create the editor at all in the read only state and the rest of my page unaffected by the Ckeditor styles.
I have a custom module that works with a custom data type and part.
In my edit view I have some textareas but these are no rendered by CKEditor.
Only BodyPart html text areas are rendered (like in pages & blog posts).
How can I do this?

CKEditor needs to be initialized, either sneak in somewhere this javascript line
CKEDITOR.replace(textarea);
or append class ckeditor for auto-initialization
<textarea class="ckeditor"></textarea>
If it doesn't work you may also need to add script requirement to your edit view
Script.Require("CKEditor");
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).
