Enable/Disable Spell Check in Ckeditor (SCAYT) dynamically - ckeditor

I'm using SCAYT plugin for ckeditor with multiple languages.I have enabled scayt automatically on startup. via code I want to disable spell check when the user chooses language as Chinese/Japanese in the dropdown through the code. How can I do this ?

Use editor.execCommand to do enable/disable SCAYT manually (via code):
CKEDITOR.instances.yourInstance.execCommand( 'scaytcheck' );
If you want to decide whether to enable SCAT or not on the startup, use pluginsLoaded event to override the config option (see: fiddle):
CKEDITOR.replace( 'editor', {
plugins: 'wysiwygarea,sourcearea,basicstyles,toolbar,scayt',
// Turn on SCAYT automatically
scayt_autoStartup: true,
on: {
configLoaded: function() {
// Disable SCAYT when japanese.
if ( this.config.language == 'ja' )
this.config.scayt_autoStartup = false;
}
}
} );

I just wanted to post what I had found because I didn't find anywhere in the forums that had the answer to the question "How do I enable/disable SCAYT dynamically?". This is how you can do it:
CKEDITOR.instances.editorId_1.getCommand('scaytcheck').exec()
This will run the command that gets called when clicking the "Enable/Disable" button.

As an update to this answer: I'm running CKEditor 4.6 and could only get this working with
CKEDITOR.instances[i].execCommand('scaytToggle');
So to iterate through all editors and toggle the scyat:
for (var i in CKEDITOR.instances) {
CKEDITOR.instances[i].execCommand('scaytToggle');
}

CKEditor 5 links: Set default target for links or edit target

In CKEditor 5 I don't see field for target attribute in link dialog.
How to add such field? Or set target=_blank as default.
Thanks
Since version 11.1.0 of a Link Plugin, there is added link decorator feature. This feature provides an easy way to define rules when and how to add some extra attributes to links.
There might be manual or automatic decorators.
First provides a UI switch which might be toggled by the user. When the user edits a link and toggles it, then preconfigured attributes will be added to the link e.g. target="_blank".
Second one, are applied automatically when content is obtained from the Editor. Here you need to provide a callback function which based on link's URL decides if a given set of attributes should be applied.
There is also a preconfigured decorator, which might be turn on with simple config.link.addTargetToExternalLinks=true. It will add target="blank" and rel="noopener noreferrer" to all links started with: http://, https:// or //.
You can achieve it by adding this code in CKEditor Initialization Script:
ClassicEditor
.create( document.querySelector( '#editor' ), {
// ...
link: {
decorators: {
openInNewTab: {
mode: 'manual',
label: 'Open in a new tab',
defaultValue: true, // This option will be selected by default.
attributes: {
target: '_blank',
rel: 'noopener noreferrer'
}
}
}
}
} )
.then( ... )
.catch( ... );
Here is the Documentation Link . It will be working fine.

Ckeditor plugin configuration not working

I have tried to add justify plugin to be able to align text right, left or centre. But after following the instructions in the documentation (http://apostrophecms.org/docs/tutorials/howtos/ckeditor.html), I wonder if the plugin should be located in a specific folder (mine is at public/modules/apostrophe-areas/js/ckeditorPlugins/justify/), as it disappears when the site is loaded, but if I include it in some other folder such as public/plugins/justify still doesn't work.
This is my code just in case: (located at lib/modules/apostrophe-areas/public/js/user.js)
apos.define('apostrophe-areas', {
construct: function(self, options) {
// Use the super pattern - don't forget to call the original method
var superEnableCkeditor = self.enableCkeditor;
self.enableCkeditor = function() {
superEnableCkeditor();
// Now do as we please
CKEDITOR.plugins.addExternal('justify', '/modules/apostrophe-areas/js/ckeditorPlugins/justify/', 'plugin.js');
};
}
});
Also, it would be nice to know how the plugin should be called at the Toolbar settings for editable widgets.
Thanks!
The URL you need is:
/modules/my-apostrophe-areas/js/ckeditorPlugins/justify/
The my- prefix is automatically prepended so that the public folders of both the original apostrophe-areas module and your project-level extension of it can have a distinct URL. Otherwise there would be no way for both to access their user.js, for instance.
I'll add this note to the HOWTO in question, which currently handwaves the issue by stubbing in a made-up URL.
As for how the plugin should be called, use the toolbar control name exported by that plugin — that part is a ckeditor question, not really an Apostrophe one. But looking at the source code of that plugin they are probably JustifyLeft, JustifyCenter, JustifyRight and JustifyBlock.
It turns out that it's not enough to simply call CKEDITOR.plugins.addExternal inside apostophe-areas. You also need to override self.beforeCkeditorInline of the apostrophe-rich-text-widgets-editor module and explicitly call self.config.extraPlugins = 'your_plugin_name';.
Here's what I ended up with:
In lib/modules/apostrophe-areas/public/js/user.js:
apos.define('apostrophe-areas', {
construct: function(self, options) {
// Use the super pattern - don't forget to call the original method
var superEnableCkeditor = self.enableCkeditor;
self.enableCkeditor = function() {
superEnableCkeditor();
// Now do as we please
CKEDITOR.plugins.addExternal('justify', '/modules/my-apostrophe-areas/js/ckeditorPlugins/justify/', 'plugin.js');
};
}
});
then in in lib/modules/apostrophe-rich-text-widgets/public/js/editor.js:
apos.define('apostrophe-rich-text-widgets-editor', {
construct: function(self, options) {
self.beforeCkeditorInline = function() {
self.config.extraPlugins = 'justify';
};
}
});
For some reason doing CKEDITOR.config.extraPlugins = 'justify' inside apostrophe-areas does not work, probably due to the way how CKEDITOR is initialized;
One more thing: this particular plug-in (justify, that is) does not seem to follow the button definition logic. It has button icons defined as images, whereas CKEditor 4.6 used in Apostrophe CMS 2.3 uses font-awesome to display icons. It means that the icons that ship with the justify module won't be displayed and you'll have to write your own css for each button individually.
There is another issue which you'll probably face when you finally enable the justify buttons. The built-in html sanitizer will be strip off the styles justify adds to align the content.
Apostrophe CMS seems to be using sanitize-html to sanitize the input, so changing CKEditor settings won't have any effect. To solve the issue, add the following to your app.js:
'apostrophe-rich-text-widgets': {
// The standard list copied from the module, plus sup and sub
sanitizeHtml: {
allowedAttributes: {
a: ['href', 'name', 'target'],
img: ['src'],
'*': ['style'] //this will make sure the style attribute is not stripped off
}
}
}
Thank you both for your help. After following both approaches of: locating the plugin at my-apostrophe-areas folder as well as editing editor.js on the apostrophe-rich-text widget (the sanitize.html file was already using that configuration), I got the plugin working. However, I was still having the issue with the icons.
I fixed that adding the Font Awesome icons that correspond to align-justify, align-right, align-left and align-center at the end of public/modules/apostrophe-areas/js/vendor/ckeditor/skins/apostrophe/editor.less

separate ckeditor template for each page

I want to have separate config for ckditor.
For example in page temp1.html i want to have 'links' and in page temp2.html i don't want to have links.
Whats the good config for this?
I think configuration in below code is proper place for do this.
//var editor_data = CKEDITOR.instances.editor1.getData();
$('textarea#editor').ckeditor(
function () {
/* callback code */
},
//configuration
{
toolbar: 'Basic',
language: 'en',
});
You can use config.removePlugins to control the presence of certain plugins, like link (also config.removeButtons). But please note that since CKEditor 4.1, by doing this you restrict the content of the editor associated with the plugin or button (no link plugin or button = no links in the content).
So if you want to share the same content between different templates which use a different sets of plugins you need to explicitly expand config.extraAllowedContent of some editors:
$('#editor-linkless').ckeditor( function() {}, {
removePlugins: 'link',
extraAllowedContent: 'a[href,name,id,target]'
} );
$('#editor-regular').ckeditor();
JSFiddle.

ckeditor make dialog element readonly or disable

I need to be able to make the URL input field in the Link Dialog window readonly or disable it. The field gets populated when the user selects a file from the server.
Another user posted this link as a solution, http://docs.cksource.com/ckeditor_api/symbols/CKEDITOR.ui.dialog.uiElement.html#disable but there is no example and I can't figure out how to implement it.
In the onLoad handler of the dialog you can disable it this way:
this.getContentElement("info", "url").disable();
this is what I ended up doing. I wrote it in my js file instead of the plugin file, but I dont think that would make a difference. I am using inline ckeditor version 4.0.2
CKEDITOR.on('dialogDefinition', function(event) {
var dialogName = event.data.name;
var dialogDefinition = event.data.definition;
//some code here
if(dialogName == 'flash'){ // flash dialog box name
//some code here
dialogDefinition.onShow = function () {
this.getContentElement("info","width").disable(); // info is the name of the tab and width is the id of the element inside the tab
this.getContentElement("info","height").disable();
}
}
});
You can disable url field by just one line
CKEDITOR.dialog.getCurrent().getContentElement('info','txtUrl').disable()
I got it. I added this.getInputElement().setAttribute( 'readOnly', true ); to the onload funciton in ckeditor\plugins\links\dialogs\link.js. Before I was adding it to ckeditor\_source\plugins\links\dialogs\link.js. I'd still like an example of how to use the CKEDITOR.ui.dialog.uiElement disable feature, if anyone has one.

Watermark text in CKEditor

Do you know how to add watermark in CKEditor (visual word processor)?
I want the behavior like this: When the CKEditor is loaded, it has text by default. When I click on it, text must disappear.
Below are the steps to add water mark in CKEditor
Generally when you set default text in Ck Editor through java script on page load. JavaScript event get fired before the control actually load so if possible set the text for code behind.
Attaching Events in Javascript for OnFocus and OnBlur
$(document).ready(function() {
var myeditor = CKEDITOR.instances['EditorId'];
myeditor.on("focus", function(e) {
RemoveDefaultText();
});
myeditor.on("blur", function(e) {
setDefaultText();
});
});
Define your default text in this function
function setDefaultText() {
if (CKEDITOR.instances['EditorId'].getData() == '') {
CKEDITOR.instances['EditorId'].setData('Your Message Here');
}
}
function RemoveDefaultText() {
if (CKEDITOR.instances['EditorId'].getData().indexOf('Your Mesage Here') >= 0) {
CKEDITOR.instances['EditorId'].setData('');
CKEDITOR.instances['EditorId'].focus();
}
}
You can also define styles to the water mark by adding classes to the default text and place the class into you ck editor content css otherwise it will not work
A ready to use plugin can be tested here. It allows to customize the default text and it takes into acount, dialogs as well as reading the data from an external script.
You might want to try this jQuery plugin:
