4.3.0

Release 4.3.0 comes with the Enhanced Image plugin (image2). It is not enabled by default as it removes some of the advanced functionality provided by the default image plugin (image). However, the Enhanced Image plugin provides the ability to add a caption together with the image. It is also much more user-friendly.

To enable the plugin, you need to setup ckeditor_properties through generic setup propertiestool.xml:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<object name="portal_properties" meta_type="Plone Properties Tool">
 <object name="ckeditor_properties" meta_type="Plone Property Sheet">
  <property name="removePlugins" type="lines">
   <element value="image"/>
  </property>
  <property name="plugins" type="lines">
   <element value="ajaxsave;/++resource++cke_ajaxsave/plugin.js"/>
   <element value="image2;/++resource++ckeditor/plugins/image2/plugin.js"/>
  </property>
 </object>
</object>

This disables the image (default) plugin and enables the image2 plugin.

The image2 plugin comes with two specific settings (configurable only through generic setup):

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<object name="portal_properties" meta_type="Plone Properties Tool">
 <object name="ckeditor_properties" meta_type="Plone Property Sheet">
  <property name="image2_captionedClass" type="string">image</property>
  <property name="image2_alignClasses" type="lines">
   <element value="image-left"/>
   <element value="image-dummy"/>
   <element value="image-right"/>
  </property>
 </object>
</object>

The settings are image2_captionedClass and image2_alignClasses. The values above are the default values.

If you enable the plugin, you also need to setup Plone to accept the figcaption tag.

This is done by configuring HTML filtering with a setup handler like:

def enable_figcaption(p):
    """ Allow figcaption as valid tag in portal_transforms safe_html"""

    from Products.PortalTransforms.Transform import make_config_persistent

    pt = getToolByName(p, 'portal_transforms')
    tid = 'safe_html'
    if not tid in pt.objectIds():
        return
    trans = pt[tid]
    tconfig = trans._config

    validtags = tconfig['valid_tags']
    validtags.update({'figcaption': 1})

    make_config_persistent(tconfig)
    trans._p_changed = True
    trans.reload()
    log.info('added figcaption as valid tag')

balloontoolbar plugin

provided since version 4.8.0

Not enabled by default, this plugin provides an API to setup context sensitive toolbars.

To enable the plugin, add balloontoolbar;/++resource++ckeditor/plugins/balloontoolbar/plugin.js to the Plugins field in CKEditor control panel (@@ckeditor-controlpanel).

uploadimage plugin

provided since version 4.7.0

Enabled by default, this plugin manages support for uploading images that were dropped or pasted into the editor.

nonbreaking plugin

provided since version 4.4.5.

When enabled, the plugin provides keyboard shortcuts to insert non breaking chars:

• Ctrl-Alt-Space for non breaking space,

• Ctrl-Alt-Hyphen for non breaking hyphen.

Corresponding buttons can also be configured in the toolbar:

• NbSpace

• NbHyphen

To enable the plugin, add nonbreaking;/++resource++cke_nonbreaking/plugin.js to the Plugins field in CKEditor control panel (@@ckeditor-controlpanel).

Or setup ckeditor_properties through generic setup propertiestool.xml:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<object name="portal_properties" meta_type="Plone Properties Tool">
 <object name="ckeditor_properties" meta_type="Plone Property Sheet">
  <property name="plugins" type="lines">
   <element value="ajaxsave;/++resource++cke_ajaxsave/plugin.js"/>
   <element value="nonbreaking;/++resource++cke_nonbreaking/plugin.js"/>
  </property>
 </object>
</object>

tableresize plugin

When enabled, the plugin makes it easy to change the table columns width by drag/dropping it from left to right and right to left.

To enable the plugin, add tableresize;/++resource++ckeditor/plugins/tableresize/plugin.js to the Plugins field in CKEditor control panel (@@ckeditor-controlpanel).

Or setup ckeditor_properties through generic setup propertiestool.xml:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<object name="portal_properties" meta_type="Plone Properties Tool">
 <object name="ckeditor_properties" meta_type="Plone Property Sheet">
  <property name="plugins" type="lines" purge="False">
   <element value="tableresize;/++resource++ckeditor/plugins/tableresize/plugin.js"/>
  </property>
 </object>
</object>

How to Release

Obviously, the ckeditor code also needs to be included in the released eggs.

collective.ckeditor registers an entry point for zest.releaser that (if called properly) takes care of copying the code when preparing the release.

However, in order to take advantage of the entry point, you have to use the bin/fullrelease locally installed by the development buildout instead of a globally installed fullrelease.

Only the local bin/fullrelease script can see the entry_point registered by collective.ckeditor.

How to update to a newer version of CKEditor

Valid for CKEditor 4

1. Go to dev/build-ckeditor

2. Update plugin versions computation in image2.sh, moono.sh, scayt and wsc in scayt.sh

3. Issue the following command CKEDITOR_VERSION=4.x.x make

4. Run bin/copy_ckeditor_code

5. Test

6. Add untracked files git add ../../src/collective/ckeditor/_src/ckeditor/

7. Commit

If you need unminified JS to debug the release, step 3 can be replaced with:

MINIFIED_JS=--leave-js-unminified CKEDITOR_VERSION=4.x.x make

• Also check the default_editor site property when determining whether the member wants to use CKeditor. [maurits]

• Changed the way external plugins are registered. It’s better to use the three parameter variant of CKEDITOR.plugins.addExternal because this will make the base URL for the plugin resources available within the plugin code as this.path correctly. Otherwise this.path contains the full URL to the plugin script itself which consequently breaks loading of related resources (images, translations, etc). [dokai]
