- Unzip the downloaded module to the
"sites/all/modules"directory. It should now contain a "ckeditor" directory. - Enable CKEditor module in the
"Administration > Modules > User Interface"section. - Grant permissions for using CKEditor in the
"Administration > People > Permissions"section. - Adjust CKEditor profiles in the
"Administration > Configuration > Content Authoring > CKEditor"section.- Profiles determine what options are available to users based on the Text Format system.
- For the Rich Text Editing to work you also need to configure Text Formats for the users that may access Rich Text Editing. Either grant those users Full HTML access or use the following tags:
- <a> <p> <span> <div> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <img> <map> <area> <hr> <br> <br /> <ul> <ol> <li> <dl> <dt> <dd> <table> <caption> <tbody> <tr> <td> <em> <b> <u> <i> <strong> <del> <ins> <sub> <sup> <quote> <blockquote> <pre> <address> <code> <cite> <embed> <object> <param> <strike>
- If you are going to use CKEditor with Filtered HTML input format, please read also the "Setting up filters" section.
- To have better control over line breaks, you may disable the Line break converter for a given Text Format in the
"Administration > Configuration > Content authoring > Text formats"section (recommended). - Modify the
<ckeditor_module>/ckeditor.config.jsfile to customize it to your needs (optional). All configuration options are listed in the CKEditor 4 documentation
