Ckeditor Typeerror: C[a] Is Undefined In Codeigniter

Im trying to install CKEditor in my codeigniter based website and I have followed this tutorial: CKEditor in Codeigniter Tutorial But Im receiving this error: TypeError: c[a] is un

Solution 1:

I had same issue. CKEditor isn't identifying properly its own folder. So you should set a CKEDITOR_BASEPATH variable before loading CKEditor.

It's briefly said here: (but there might be other places where it's explained better.) http://docs.cksource.com/ckeditor_api/symbols/CKEDITOR.html#.basePath

Therefore implementation will be like this:

<script>window.CKEDITOR_BASEPATH = 'http://example.com/path/to/libs/ckeditor/';
</script>

In my case i used window.CKEDITOR_BASEPATH = '/app/storereport/ckeditor/';

Then load the main ckeditor.js script.

<scripttype="application/javascript"/>
$(document).ready(function (){
    CKEDITOR.replace( 'product_content' );  // ID of element
});
</script>

Solution 2:

  Use ckeditor in codeigniter    
  You need   
  1.Ckeditor helper : ckeditor_helper.php file put on system/helpers folder  
  2.Ckeditor-pacakge : http://ckeditor.com/download put on root directory 

 Write bellow code in controller file ex.Page.php      
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
 class Page extends CI_Controller {  
  public $data;   
  public function __construct() {  
        parent::__construct();  
         $this->load->helper('ckeditor');  //load helper
     }
  //load html view    
    public function add() {   
       $this->data['ckeditor'] = array(    
                'id' => 'format', //ID of the textarea that will be   replaced                'path' => '../ckeditor/',    
                    'config' => array(    
                    'toolbar' => "Full", //Using the Full toolbar   
                    'width' => "auto", //a custom width   
                    'height' => "300px", //a custom height   
                    ),   
                );    
                //Loading add File    
                $this->load->view('page/add', $this->data);    
            }    
    }     

load view file
--------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 add.php    
  <?php$form_data = array('class'=>'form-horizontal', 'role'=>'form','id' => 'pagefrm','name' => 'pagefrm','enctype'=>'multipart/form-data');     
          echo form_open('Page/Newpage',$form_data);  ?><divclass="form-group"><labelclass="col-md-3 control-label"for="example-email">Page Format </label><divclass="col-md-6"><textareaclass="form-control ckeditor"name="format"id="format" ></textarea></div></div><divclass="form-group"><divclass="col-sm-offset-5 col-sm-12"><buttontype="submit"class="btn btn-primary waves-effect waves-light">  Add </button></div></div><?phpecho form_close();?>
write js to your view file->
<scriptsrc="<?phpecho base_url();?>assets/js/jquery.min.js"></script><scriptsrc="<?phpecho base_url();?>assets/js/jquery.validate.js"></script><scriptsrc="<?phpecho base_url();?>ckeditor/ckeditor.js"></script> //manage your path

Here you also validate not allowed blank content not allowed using validate.js
--------------------------------------------------------------------

<scripttype="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function () {

        // When the browser is ready...
        $(function () {

            // form validation 
            $("#pagefrm").validate({
                // Specify the validation rulesrules: {
                     format: {
                        required: function (textarea) {
                            CKEDITOR.instances['format'].updateElement();
                            // update textareavar editorcontent = textarea.value.replace(/<[^>]*>/gi, ''); // strip tagsreturn editorcontent.length === 0;
                        }
                    }
                },
                // Specify the validation error messagesmessages: {
                  format: "Please enter page format"
                },
                ignore: [],
                submitHandler: function (form) {
                    form.submit();
                }
            });

        });
    });
</script>

Solution 3:

I have also used Ckeditor on my CI project. Don't use this long way use these simple steps -

1. Export your Ckeditor library in your path assets/js/ as you have already done this.

2. Include this on your html page - <script type="text/javascript" src="/assets/js/ckeditor/ckeditor.js"></script> on the top of your page .

3. After the html include script having code as-

   CKEDITOR.replace( 'content' );

   /* content is the name of the textarea field on which ckeditor is to be applied*/

Solution 4:

//ckeditor_helper.php  //put on system/helpers/   <?php   
if(!defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
function form_ckeditor($data)
{
    $data['language'] = isset($data['language']) ?$data['language'] : 'es';

    $size= isset($data['width']) ? 'width: "'.$data['width'].'", ' : '';
    $size.= isset($data['height']) ? 'height: "'.$data['height'].'", ' : '';

    $options= '{'.
            $size.
            'language: "'.$data['language'].'",
