Kentico 12 MVC - CKeditor for widgets

Hi,
Yes, it should be possible - but you need to integrate the CKEditor into your widget properties and inline editors using your own code. Something like creating custom form component.

You have to create your own Inline Property editor. docs.kentico.com/.../defining-widget-properties-in-mvc#DefiningwidgetpropertiesinMVC-Implementinginlinepropertyeditors

I recently wrote a Blog post implementing the Alloy Editor in K12. Which is build upon the CKEditor, devdavid.nl/.../creating-an-inline-editor-in-kentico-12

Hi David,

we have already implemented the CKEditor as an inline Property editor. As mentioned in the original post, the missing feature is to insert/browse/update images or to select URL from the page tree (as seen as the CKEditor in the Content tab). The CMS plugin is not working as intended.

David -- Thanks for sharing your blog post. I've been trying to follow along, but am running in to some console errors when adding the widget to the page. Can you provide some additional information around where you are putting the js files and other assets for the Alloy Editor? You kind of lost me at this part. Specifically, what to you have in /Scripts/AlloyEditor and what is located in /Content/InlineEditors ?

Sebastian -- I'm also curious to know if you were ever able to find a solution to being able to insert items from the media library or to select pages from the page tree?

@Marshall -- I got so much spam that I've disabled comments. Sorry :)

• My /Scripts/AlloyEditor/ basically contains all assets and configs you'll get from AlloyEditor itself.

• My /Content/InlineEditors/Text2Editor folder (as I named the thing text2editor), contains the script file to configure the editor and handle the events. I see now that I still have the default assets/config folder also there. And it seems there are references in there which require that. I found that most of the references are scattered over the Alloy script files itself. And Since Kentico combines and moves them there might be some broken links.

Let me know if you still have questions.

As for the upload images question. This would require a complete custom solution. Since most of these editors just encode the image itself into the page. So it's not even an attachment on the Kentico node. You'd have to facilitate the popup logic for selecting and handling all the media library calls and listing. Sounds like a good blog post ^_^.

actually i tried to add it but didnt work @David te Kloese can you provid a demo
