Rails 3.1 ckeditor

Question

So I just tried to install ckeditor in rails, however it doesn't look like its working.

Here is what I did

added these lines to my gemfile

gem "ckeditor", "~> 3.6.0"
gem "paperclip"

Then bundled installed and ran

rails generate ckeditor:install
rails generate ckeditor:models --orm=active_record

Added this file tom config/application.rb

config.autoload_paths += %W(#{config.root}/app/models/ckeditor)

And then I tried out this code:

<%= javascript_include_tag :ckeditor %>
cktext_area_tag("test_area", "Ckeditor is the best")
cktext_area_tag("content", "Ckeditor", :input_html => {:cols => 10, :rows => 20}, :toolbar => 'Easy')

However, all I am getting is two textareas that do not have any editing ability. They look like normal textareas and all I can do is erase and add text.

What am I doing wrong?

This works like a charm, just tested it on rails 3.1.rc6. Also be cautious of the gem you are using. As of the moment of this post, the oficial gem was not working and was waiting for a pull request, so be sure to use fxposter's version of the gem in your gemfile.
