aonetools Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 Good afternoon, I have oscommerce v2.3.3 and am trying to install a text editor as so i do not have to type all html coding for the text. I am just wondering if anyone can help me with this install or even possibly direct me to an online help file as this is all new to me and i am not completely confident with this. I am even unsure after reading a file online installers what files to use. I would be extremely grateful if anyone at all could help me with this issue. any help at all would be appreciated. Thank you.
Mort-lemur Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 @@aonetools Probably the most widely used HTML editor on OSC is CKEditor as per this add-on : http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/7650 Its a relatively easy install, but if you are not yet up to speed with modifying osc files then it will be worthwhile reading some posts on the forum first - such as some of the "How do I?" posts. You will need a method to upload and download files from your server such as filezilla, and a method of editing the files such as notepad++ both of which are free and work extremely well. Also dont forget to make backups of your files and database before carrying out any changes.

So much thanks for all the help given along the way by forum members.

aonetools Posted February 10, 2014 Author Posted February 10, 2014 @@Mort-lemur I have uploaded all the details ( a few times) and have tried to reinstall the entire website, but can not get this to work. I have managed to upload so that it does appear in our website under the admin panel but does not have any function, i cannot get the creditor to work within my catalogue on the admin panel. Is there any further information in which you can help me with? Thank you in advance.
Mort-lemur Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Have you set "use ckeditor" to True in admin/configuration/mystore ? There are only a couple of file edits and a new directory to upload - without seeing the contents of the files I cant help Im afraid. Did you upload the ckeditor files to catalog/admin/ext/ckeditor ? Post the line you changed in /catalog/admin/includes/functions/html_output.php - there may be an error there.

aonetools Posted February 11, 2014 Author Posted February 11, 2014 Morning, CKeditor is set to "true" and yes i have uploaded CKeditor to admin folder. so it can only be the line in text in which you say i may have made an error. So the code for the line is; $field = '<textarea name="' . tep_output_string($name) . '" id="' . tep_output_string($name) . '" cols="' . tep_output_string($width) . '" rows="' . tep_output_string($height) . '"'; thank you for all your help, this is appreciated so much. Thanks
mhsuffolk Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Double check you have uploaded CKeditor to catalog/admin/ext/ckeditor and not catalog/admin/ckeditor Live shop Phoenix 1.0.8.4 on PHP 7.4 Working my way up the versions.

aonetools Posted February 11, 2014 Author Posted February 11, 2014 we aren't getting any error logs, it is though everything has uploaded correctly except it doesn't work. The CK editor does not show when i go to upload a new product. Thanks
Mort-lemur Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 If the files are all uploaded correctly there is no reason for it not to work...

♥joli1811 Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Not sure what install you done but http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/7650 Jquery integration- based implementation: correction JohnAtYM try the instructions there only thing is it will put the ckeditor on all text fields in the admin not good if you are using a metatags contribution as html should not be used in the metatags text fields but you can see if it works really simple install few minutes Regards Joli To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often.
