My CKEditor fields often contain lots of content with h1, h2, h3, etc headings, and I've written a script that presents all the headings in a sidebar for quick reference. I'd also like to use this sidebar as a navigation menu for the editor content, so clicking a heading in the sidebar scrolls the editor to the related heading, but I can't figure out how to wire it all up.
This post at https://davidwalsh.name/scroll-element-ckeditor leads me to believe that it should be possible, but I can't figure out how to get to the "editor" element described in the post.
My sidebar is built with jQuery from a CKEditor textarea with id="content" like this...
var content = $('<div/>').append($('#content').val());
var sidebar = "";
$(content).find('h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6').addClass('heading');
$(content).find('.heading').each(function () {
sidebar += this.outerHTML;
});
$('#sidebar').html(sidebar);
I imagine using jQuery :contains() to identify heading elements in the editor based on the text they contain, but I can't figure out how to hook back into the CKEditor instance in a way that enables this kind of DOM activity.
I am using CKEditor 4 but am happy to upgrade to version 5 if it offers a better solution to my problem.
Thanks!
This is what wound up working for me:
var content = $('<div/>').append($('#content').val());
var sidebar = "";
$(content).find('h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6').addClass('heading');
$(content).find('.heading').each(function () {
sidebar += this.outerHTML;
});
$('#sidebar').html(sidebar);
$('#sidebar .heading').click(function() {
var element = $('#cke_content iframe').contents().find(':contains(' + $(this).text() + ')')[2];
if (element) {
element.scrollIntoView();
}
});
I want to set the default color for the Kendo Editor's foreColor tool to "black". By default, the color is always "white".
DontVoteMeDown has a great answer! However as soon as you click the dropdown arrow on the colorPicker, you lose the currently selected color. You could save the current color to a variable and reload it each time the palette is opened. Then update the selected color on change:
var curForeColor = "#000000";
$("#editor").kendoEditor({
tools: [{
name: "foreColor",
}]
});
var colorpicker = $("div.k-i-foreground-color").data("kendoColorPicker");
colorpicker.value(curForeColor);
colorpicker.bind("change", function(){
curForeColor = colorpicker.value();
});
colorpicker.bind("open", function(){
colorpicker.value(curForeColor);
});
DEMO
Try this:
var editor = $("#editor").data("kendoEditor");
$(editor.toolbar.element)
.find("div.k-i-foreground-color")
.data("kendoColorPicker")
.value("#000000");
Demo
The foreColor tool is in fact a ColorPicker so you can set it's value as soon as editor is created.
There is one problem when I work with ckeditor. I press on icon for adding images, then modal window appears and I put direct image link in the special field, in this moment width and height detected automatically and it writes to style for ex:
<img src='#some images direct link' style='width:SOME WIDTH;height:SOME HEIGHT'>
Can I disable this automatic function? Or I have to delete this style by myself every time?
You could write a rule for your config that would remove the style tag on elements.
var editorRulesObject = {
elements: {
img: function( el ) {
if(el.attributes.style) {
el.attributes.style = '';
}
}
}
};
CKEDITOR.on('instanceReady', function( e ) {
// Ensures that any non-styled text, or text input without any tags will be correctly styled.
CKEDITOR.instances[e.editor.name].dataProcessor.dataFilter.addRules( editorRulesObject );
CKEDITOR.instances[e.editor.name].dataProcessor.htmlFilter.addRules( editorRulesObject );
});
In 2020, since version 4.5.0, it is much easier to switch off the annoying automatic filling in of height and readiness.
New there is the config option "image_prefillDimensions".
config.image_prefillDimensions = false;
Documentation: http://docs.ckeditor.com/#!/api/CKEDITOR.config-cfg-image_prefillDimensions
The user still has the possibility to fill in the height and width automatically by clicking on the button [Reset size (circle arrow)].
Basically i have 2 instances of ckeditor on a single page. One on the left and another in the right side of the page.
The left editor uses a div rather than traditional iframe. I've done this by removing the iframe plugin and including the div editing area plugin.
The right editor loads in an iframe and but is also div based(i can use the iframe editor as well on the right if required, not an issue).
Now if the cursor/focus is on the right editor's content area then the left editor should scroll along with it. I've tried to use the code as provied by Reinmar in below url but it seems to work only with editors based on iframe on both sides. Also please note that i'm using jquery adapter for initializing the editors.
CKEDITOR how to Identify scroll event
I initialized the editor on left as below:
var editor_left = $( '#editor_left' ).ckeditor();
And below is my code for the right editor:-
var editor_right = $( '#editor_right' ).ckeditor();
editor_right.editor.on( 'contentDom', function() {
var editable = editor_right.editor.editable();
editable.attachListener( editable.getDocument(), 'scroll', function() {
alert('scroll detected');
parent.$('#left_editor_content_area').scrollTop($(this).scrollTop())
});
});
If i use the iframe based editor on the right then i'm able to get the "scroll detected" alert. But the scrollTop() function still does not work as expected
Any help will be appreciated.
The code that you mentioned is right. You got to update scrollTop property of the div-based editable with the scroll position of the window inside the iframe-based editor (JSFiddle).
var editor_div = CKEDITOR.replace( 'editor_div', {
extraPlugins: 'divarea'
} );
CKEDITOR.replace( 'editor_iframe', {
on: {
contentDom: function() {
var editable = this.editable(),
win = this.document.getWindow(),
doc = editable.getDocument();
editable.attachListener( doc, 'scroll', function( evt ) {
// Get scroll position of iframe-based editor.
var scroll = win.getScrollPosition();
// Update scroll position in the div-based editor.
editor_div.editable().$.scrollTop = scroll.y;
} );
}
}
} );
I have been trying to put an image with a hyperlink on it into a google apps script ui. I first thought of using createAnchor(), but that only allows text. Then I thought of using a button, but as far as I know you cannot open a new tab/window and redirect in a callback function.
I also tried createHTML(), but the element is not handled by it as yet.
I have seen people overlay transparent buttons over images, but still have same issue in callback.
My research has not found an answer to this. Does anyone have any solutions/examples?
Thanks
This worked for me on Chrome20 and IE9
// Container for box and results
var imageContainer = app.createFlexTable();
// Setup the button
var button = app.createButton("ImageButton");
button.setStyleAttribute("background", "url(dontshowimagehere.JPG) no-repeat");
button.setStyleAttribute("position", "absolute");
button.setStyleAttribute("color", "transparent");
button.setStyleAttribute('zIndex','1');
button.setStyleAttribute("border", "0px solid black");
imageContainer.setWidget(0, 0, button);
// image to click
var image = app.createImage("image.jpg").setId(imageId);
imageContainer.setWidget(1,0, image);
The image has a slight (3px) offset. If important, this looks to fix it http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_positioning.asp (use relative for the flex table and top etc for the image and button)
Did you try a transparent Anchor overlaying the image?
function doGet() {
var app = UiApp.createApplication().setTitle("Image Anchor");
var panel = app.createAbsolutePanel().setWidth('50%').setHeight('50%');
var image = app.createImage().setUrl("https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-v0Q3gPQz03Q/T_y5gcVw7LI/AAAAAAAAAF8/ol9uup7Xm2g/s512/GooglePlus-512-Red.png").setStyleAttribute("width", "28px").setStyleAttribute("height", "28px");
var anchor = app.createAnchor("?", "https://plus.google.com/u/1/116085534841818923812/posts").setHeight("28px").setWidth("28px").setStyleAttribute("opacity", "0.1").setTarget("blank");
panel.add(image,100,50);
panel.add(anchor,100,50);
app.add(panel);
return app.close();
}
app.createAbsolutePanel()
.add(app.createImage('https://www.google.com/images/logos/google_logo_41.png'))
.add(app.createAnchor('','https://www.google.co.uk/intl/en/about/')
.setStyleAttributes({position:'absolute',top:'0px',left:'0px',width:'201px',height:'47px',opacity:'0'}))
This is a tested one. It works fine.
It doesn't work with positioning the image (as 'absolute').
It doesn't work with .setHorizontalAlignment(UiApp.HorizontalAlignment.CENTER)
I don't believe this is possible with the widgets available. I would suggest altering your UI's design to utilize an Anchor widget instead.
Use HTML Box if you are coding directly on your page. Click "Edit" to edit your page and go to "Insert>HTML Box" in your menu. It will accept javascript too! There are a few caveats - when using javascript, HTML Box will not accept links...too bad, but too many exploits there.
If you are coding in apps script, you could try to place the image on a panel and use absolute panel and position your link over your image. Another method could be to use the .setStyleAttribute for CSS styling and utilize the zIndex parameter to place a panel over top of your image....like so:
var panel = app.createSimplePanel();
// add your image to the simple panel or whatever panel you wish to choose in your GUI
var popPanel = app.createSimplePanel()
.setStyleAttribute('top','Y')
.setStyleAttribute('left','X')
.setStyleAttribute('zIndex','1')
.setStyleAttribute('position','fixed');
// add your anchor to the popPanel
app.add(panel).add(popPanel);
Not 100% sure if you can make this panel transparent, but you could try something like:
.setStyleAttribute('background',transparent')
or change the opacity via:
.setStyleAttribute('opacity','.5')
Hopes this gives you a few ideas!
I managed to do it with a single Anchor object and using CSS3.
It works on Chrome, I did not test it in other Browsers.
gui.createAnchor("", false, "$DESTINATION_URL$")
.setStyleAttributes({ "display":"block",
"width":"$IMAGE_WIDTH_IN_PIXEL$",
"height":"$IMAGE_HEIGHT_IN_PIXEL$",
"background":"url($URL_OF_THE_IMAGE$)",
"background-size":"100% 100%",
"background-repeat":"no-repeat" })
Of course you have to replace the $......$ with your data.

If you first create all your HTML in a string, you can then replace the content of a page with the HTML you want like this:
var myString = 'the html you want to add, for example you image link and button';
var page = SitesApp.getSite('example.com', 'mysite').getChildByName('targetpage');
var upage = page.setHtmlContent('<div>' + myString + '</div>');
