[D7] Add support for CKEditor v4

Finally! Thank you! But will 6.x-1.x support v4? I think if it supports, many D6 sites won't hesistate to upgrade to v4, as the upgrade will be quite easy.

Also I quickly scan the patch. I don't quite understand about different types of path: local, relative, url... It makes me disturbed. Why don't just use the classic Drupal functions everywhere (and try to use relative path when possible):
- drupal_get_path('module', 'ckeditor') to get the path of the module
- base_path() to prefix url
- If path to the CKFinder is $path (= 'sites/all/libraries/ckfinder') then url to it is base_path() . '/' . $path.

Maybe you want to keep the same code across different CMS, but I think in this case the benefit is minimized.

@dczepierga, I upgraded the CKEditor to version 7.x-1.9 +21- dev, released in 2012-Nov-22.

The new version does not work in the area of ​​text editing, where we used Full HTML and PHP Code. The text editor is not displayed when creating new pages or edit.

In the comments area, where they are used Filtered HTML and plain text, the editor is displayed correctly.

If I use the full URL path to the features of editor, it does not work for new content, editing of existing ones and not in the comments.

There is no error message displayed.

This is a multilingual site and I think the problem is related to this issue.

Any help will be appreciated.

Tks

Edit: For creating or editing content, the editor works normally if I select the format Filtered HTML or plain text.

Edit 2: During the installation of CKEditor on a new local site, I notice the following error message:

Notice: Undefined index: loadPlugins in ckeditor_modules_enabled() (line 599 of C:\wamp\www\mysite\sites\all\modules\ckeditor\ckeditor.module).
Notice: Undefined index: loadPlugins in ckeditor_modules_enabled() (line 599 of C:\wamp\www\mysite\sites\all\modules\ckeditor\ckeditor.module).

Hmmmm ... The new version of the module was installed only in the backup, offline.

I must consider that I'm still using version 3.6.5 of CKEditor core.

We must also consider that if CKEditor is running ok for plain text format and for advanced text formatting there are problems, there is probably a conflict with the resources used to advanced mode.

Disable and re-enable the module does not solve the issue. I also tested the database and changed the default theme for Bartik. Nothing.

Text Format - Full HTML:

I can anticipate that I enabled and have disabled individually all options used in the roles and the editor was not displayed in any of the situations.

Filters installed: Pathologic and WYSIWYG (Base Path & Domains List are identical).

In WYSIWYG, the Rules for URLs used within inline styles only contains "/*".

Installing CKEditor:

The module is installed in CKEditor: sites/all/modules/ckeditor.

The core CKEditor is in: sites/all/modules/ckeditor/ckeditor.

Global Profile - CKEditor:

Path to CKEditor: %m/ckeditor/ckeditor

Local path to CKEditor: Empty

Path to the CKEditor plugins directory: %m/ckeditor/plugins

Path to the directory location of the CKEditor plugins: empty

NOTE: If I downgrade to old a version, the problems dissapear.

Any ideas?

New CKEditor 4 was released yesterday . More info about it: http://ckeditor.com/blog/CKEditor-4-Launched-Inline-Editing-New-Skin-and-More

Ok.

Using CKE nightly build v4, with new release of our CKE DEV Module, released today, so far no problems. Let's to test.

Tks

So far, so good!

I had to change the path to the editor at admin/config/content/ckeditor/editg (I use a version of the editor outside the modules folder). Now when I tested the editor without success, this happened to be caused by skin files that could not be loaded. This was since the new editor comes with skin Moono, and I had 'the old' Kama skin selected at admin/config/content/ckeditor/edit/Full (full HTML profile). I opened this settings page, Moona was automatically selected and saved this page. Now I could use the editor.

I did some tests with CKFinder (copied this folder from the stable module to the development version) and CKEditor Link, and it all seemed to work.

The only big difference is that we bought a Corporate License, but in the modules downloaded from Drupal.org the form fields for entering license data are gone. Because of this CKFinder offers less options since it is in demo mode. I copied / pasted them from the our original module and fiddled some with filemanager.config.php, but without success. Is there a solution to this?

@lmeurs,
commercial version of CKEditor module for Drupal from http://cksource.com/ckeditor-for-drupal has build in support and configuration for CKFinder and has it's own license type. There is no way to use license from commercial version in open source module. In this moment we are working hard to add support of CKEditor 4 to CKEditor module (both OS & Commercial versions). You should use dedicated support channel to get help with commercial version of CKEditor for Drupal module.

@michal_cksource: Thank you for the response and clarification. I already contacted Jakub Swiderski about it, he told me the release should be ready within a month. I tried the opensource module since I am so anxious to finally offer our clients an editor that works well with Chrome. We have contacted your support desk about the bugs months ago and posted bug reports, we have been told to wait for v4 which would no longer contain the Chrome bugs (ie. inserting paragraphs containing paragraphs on paste, inserting wrapping div elements on shift+paste). I understand that you guys are pretty busy and do love your work (congratulations on the new editor and site!), but cannot wait to install a correctly working editor for our clients! (sorry for the off topic comment)

@lmeurs,
glad that everything is clear now. We are pretty busy now , so please be patient :)

With Drupal 7.17 and CKEditor 7.x-1.x-dev module and CKEditor 4 in /libraries work fine... but the new skin Moono is not loaded (html but no CSS). Although Moono is selected in the profiles. I set

config.skin = 'moono';

in config.js and the text editor is correctly displayed.

I've been working with CKEditor 4.x as a candidate for Drupal 8 core, which I've got demonstrated at: http://quicksketch.org/wysiwyg. I'd love to backport these changes into Drupal 7 too to get more eyeballs on the project. However this module takes a fairly different tack than the existing CKEditor module. Rather than showering the user with options it only exposes the most relevant configuration. Some options could certainly be extended.

In any case that version of the module has been written specifically for the 4.x version of CKEditor. The code for the project is in my WYSIWYG in core sandbox: http://drupal.org/sandbox/quicksketch/1088256

Drupal 7.17
CKEditor 7.x-1.x-dev (from GIT)
ckeditor-dev (from GIT)
=> get JS error on node edit:

TypeError: ev.editor.addCss is not a function
ev.editor.addCss(ev.editor.config.extraCss);
line 52 in ckeditor.utils.js

Note that this error does not occur when using the standard package of CKEditor 4. So I guess this is related to some plugin that comes with the full package.

@dczepierga (#18)
It reports "%VERSION%" because ckeditor-dev does not have any fixed version.
I guess there's nothing to do about this :-(
Or maybe change condition to:

        if (Drupal.ckeditor_ver == 3) {
          ev.editor.addCss(ev.editor.config.extraCss);
        }
        else {
          CKEDITOR.addCss(ev.editor.config.extraCss);
        }

Editor doesn't load when using latest CKEditor 4.0

I copied ckeditor 4 into sites/all/modules/ckeditor/ckeditor4 and
change the editor directory under admin/config/content/ckeditor/editg into %m/ckeditor4
Then instead of getting editor I get white area

I tried to edit and resave all my profiles (basic and advanced) - Nothing worked
Reverting to 3.x.x %m/ckeditor worked

TypeError: ev.editor.addCss is not a function
ev.editor.addCss(ev.editor.config.extraCss);

ckeditor.utils.js line 46

42   textarea_settings['on'] =
43  {
44      configLoaded : function(ev)
45      {
46          ev.editor.addCss(ev.editor.config.extraCss);
47      },
48      instanceReady : function(ev) 
49      { 

Let me know if you need more info

Sorry, my mistake. Looks like my module upgrade failed
Using the latest 7.x-1.11 solved my problem

However upgrade didn't work right away
I got the following errors regarding the skin

"NetworkError: 404 Not Found - http://---/sites/all/modules/ckeditor/ckeditor/skins/kama/skin.js?t=CAPD" | skin.js?t=CAPD
"NetworkError: 404 Not Found - http://---/sites/all/modules/ckeditor/ckeditor/skins/kama/editor_gecko.css?t=CAPD"

I re-saved all profiles and also saved my user profile as described in #1854454: CKEditor interface not showing up on clean Drupal 7 install
Now everything works fine
