Settings for image height and width are lost between edits

By spade on 28 Dec 2015 at 14:53 UTC

Hi,
I managed to configure CKEditor to accept the img tag and can insert an image and specity a certain width. When I store it, the node is displayed with this setting, but when I edit the node again, that setting is lost.
I'm using CKEdior 4.5.6 standard.
What is going wrong here? What can I do to make it work right?
Greetings,
Frank

Sounds like your text format

Sounds like your text format is stripping out the attributes. Which format are you using? You might want to check how the HTML filter, if any, is set up for that format.

I've had good luck using IMCE for image management in CKEditor, by the way.

If it were, the whole img tag

If it were, the whole img tag would be gone, like it was before I added it to the allowed HTML-tag list.

And thanks, yes, I'm using IMCE too, but don't see how that helps here.

Sorry, the IMCE reference was

Sorry, the IMCE reference was just an aside.

You'll likely have to visit the Allowed Content filter section in your CKEditor setup.
As of CKE 4.1.?? the control of what's allowed has gotten more fine-grained. It's not just HTML elements - attributes, styles and classes can be filtered.

Thank you for your patience

Thank you for your patience and guidance.

I now added "img[alt,!src,style]{width,height};" in the "Extra allowed content" field, but it didn't change a thing.

When I check the source it contains the style attribute and works as it should, but when I load the node into CKEditor again, it is all gone.

Well that's peculiar. I'd

Well that's peculiar. I'd post a note on the CKEditor site if I were you.
I'd be interested to hear what the issue is, and I imagine others would be also.
