Features not available in CKEditor 3.0

Postby alfonsoml » Sun Aug 23, 2009 10:02 pm

In order to avoid some questions I would like to list here some features of FCKeditor 2.x that still aren't available in CKEditor 3.0 (based on http://dev.fckeditor.net/wiki/v3_status):

Server side integration:
You can use for the moment the javascript integration, putting your data in a textarea. This is linked to Html encode output (for asp.net)
http://dev.fckeditor.net/ticket/2872

File browser:
The hooks are ready if you want to use your own file manager (for example you can use a prerelease of CKFinder). A file manager like the one available previously will be available later.
http://dev.fckeditor.net/ticket/2873

Full Page:
For the moment you can't edit a full page (from <html> to </html>). Obviously the Document Properties doesn't work also.
http://dev.fckeditor.net/ticket/4067

Div Container:
http://dev.fckeditor.net/ticket/2885

Toolbar location Out & Shared toolbar:
For the moment each editor has its own toolbar attached to it.
http://dev.fckeditor.net/ticket/4228

Use default browser's context menu:

Email protection:

Detect paste from word:

Show table borders:

Base Href:

Body Id and Class:

Yes making this a sticky would probably cut down on the times that you need to direct us to this thread :)

Hoping for official Server side integration support (asp.net) soon..
- I think it would be really bad for the editor, if you decide to drop the Server Side Support, since I guess there are alot who uses it :)

Please, don't spread FUD.
No one has ever said nothing about dropping that, it just has been delayed a little.

This is a list of some bugs related to functionality that existed in 2.x:

Missing Merge cells command
http://dev.fckeditor.net/ticket/3930

Templates: not backward compatible
http://dev.fckeditor.net/ticket/3588

Styles: not backward compatible
http://dev.fckeditor.net/ticket/3589

IE: editor is activated only by clicking in the first line.
You can workaround it by changing the doctype (this problem also existed in 2.x, but there the default was a quirks doctype)
http://dev.fckeditor.net/ticket/1659

IE: using backspace to delete images or other objects navigates the page back in history
http://dev.fckeditor.net/ticket/4047

Context menus are truncated sometimes
http://dev.fckeditor.net/ticket/3494

Allow several css files for the content
http://dev.fckeditor.net/ticket/4194

Missing list properties dialog
http://dev.fckeditor.net/ticket/4358

Color selector for cell properties dialog
Fixed in the current nightly
http://dev.fckeditor.net/ticket/3727

Contents of anchor isn't visible
http://dev.fckeditor.net/ticket/3582

No, that's just a preference.

You have already asked for it too many times, and you have been given the code to implement it. If you don't know how to apply the code you should seriously consider hiring a developer.

And this thread isn't meant to talk about your requests, only about things that used to work in FCKeditor but that for the moment aren't ready in CKEditor and so it can mean a problem for someone planning the upgrade.

All our sites are free and without ads, so do you think that we have money to hire a developer ?!
Now I have a character counter that works... Is it so stupid to suppose that other people would be interested by a plugin ?

Sorry to have bothered you so much with my stupid questions and requests.

Hi,

Here is an important missing feature when using ckeditor in complex CMS.

With ckeditor 3.0, we can set one and only one stylesheet to contentArea in ckeditor config. We need multiple stylesheet support as done in fckeditor 2.6

config.contentsCss = ['http://mysite/base.css', 'http://mysite/private.css', 'http://mysite/myskin.css', 'http://myxmlparserserver/main.css'] ;

Best regards

Jean-mat
