Integrating CKEditor with Rails 3.2

Question

Similar to Integrating CKEditor with Rails 3.1 Asset Pipline

I am trying to integrate ckeditor with my rails 3.2 application.

I have all ckeditor files copied under /app/assets/javascripts/ckeditor/*.

I have the following lines in my application.js and application.js is included in my layout file:

//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require ckeditor/ckeditor
//= require_self

Taken it from the answer to Integrating CKEditor with Rails 3.1 Asset Pipline

I can understand that I need to add something like:

config.assets.precompile += your_files

to my development.rb file so that all the ckeditor files are precompiled when the application is loaded.

Although I tried a couple of paths, non worked and I keep getting the following error:

Can someone please tell me the right regular expresion to include all files for precompile, please?

Answer 1

I encountered the same problem and found a solution.Go to the following Link: http://docs.cksource.com/CKEditor_3.x/Developers_Guide/Specifying_the_Editor_Path

<script type="text/javascript">
var CKEDITOR_BASEPATH = '/assets/ckeditor/';
</script>
<%= javascript_include_tag "application" %>

you don't need to set config.assets.precompile anything.

Answer 2

rails 3.2 fix:

1. in assets/javascripts/application.js

   ... blablabla ...
   //= require ckeditor_fix        #- add this line
   //= require ckeditor/init
   //= require_tree .

2. in assets/javascripts create new file ckeditor_fix.js

   var CKEDITOR_BASEPATH = '/assets/ckeditor/';

Answer 3

I used this guide to add ckeditor to activeadmin in Rails 3.2 with the asset pipeline enabled: https://github.com/gregbell/active_admin/wiki/CKEditor-integration

It worked like a charm.

The only additional thing I did was add this line to my environment:

config.assets.precompile += ['active_admin.css', 'active_admin.js', 'ckeditor/init.js']

Answer 4

Note that many of these answers refer to the ckeditor gem ( https://github.com/galetahub/ckeditor/ ), not just the ckeditor project ( http://ckeditor.com ) especially where you see reference to the ckeditor/init.js file.

There are other gems for ckeditor integration, including ckeditor-rails ( https://github.com/tsechingho/ckeditor-rails ) which is a lighter weight, simpler solution.
