Hi Christoph,

I am going to remove the settings textboxes in future versions of uCKEditor since they can cause some problems. For instance it happened that a user had copied and pasted a settings section from the official CKEditor examples, including the comments "//", and it seems they are incompatible with angular, what broked the property editor, requiring removing those comments manually from the database.

I think it is better to have a config.js file for each editor (or shared by more than one editor) in the Umbraco ~/config/ directory, what allows you to copy and paste any settings examples from the official CKeditor web page.

This is the official documentation for the font names: http://docs.cksource.com/ckeditorapi/symbols/CKEDITOR.config.html#.fontnames

e.g:

CKEDITOR.editorConfig = function (config) {
    config.language = 'en';
    config.removeButtons = "NewPage, Preview, Templates, Save, Form, Checkbox, Radio, TextField, Textarea, Select, Button, ImageButton, HiddenField, Flash, IFrame";
    config.font_names = 'Arial;Times New Roman;Verdana';
};

Save the settings above into a config file (for example news.js) into the directory ~/config/uCKEditor/ (I think it is a good practice to have a subfolder for the uCKEditor settings config files, in order to avoid a messy config directory):

~/config/uCKEditor/news.js

That should work.

Hey Alain,

thanks for the answer for now but still won't work for me.

I simply copied the code you posted above and created a new "uckeditor.js" under umbraco/config/uckeditor/uckeditor.js. In the umbraco Backend I add the path to the UCKEditor datatype settings (and add no other configurations/settings beside the path) but it still shows me always the standart configs.

I noticed in the docu that there should be a file in uCKEditor/uCKEditor/plugins/font/plugins.js which for me doesn't exist.

Because of the workaround to get the editor running in the grid-layout I have in umbraco/App_Plugins two uCKEditor folders, one from the normal installation (uCKEditor) and the other from the thread mentioned above (uCKEditor.grid). Could this be the problem?

Christoph,

The latest version of uCKEditor doesn't use embedded files anymore, what means that after installing the package, all the files are available in the folder ~/App_Plugins/uCKEditor/. You should use these files instead of using the ones from the the thread mentioned above.

uCKEditor is not designed (yet :) to work with the Umbraco grid. I did a quick fix last time in order to allow you to use it, but I didn't test it exhaustively.

My recommendation is to install the latest version of the package (V1.1.0) and use uCKEditor as a "normal" property editor and check that your custom settings are working properly. If so, then copy all files from the folder ~/App_Plugins/uCKEditor/ to your "grid version of uckeditor" folder. Then try if it works properly in the umbraco grid. If it doesn't work, that means there is some incompatibility that I will try to fix as soon as I get a chance.

Please could you check if there are any errors in the browser's console.

Cheers, Alain
