My goal is to paste images (best if copied from word together with text) directly without uploading them first.
I got a D7 site with WYSIWYG installed. The module tells me it uses the CKEditor 3.6.6.1 library. In fact, there is no CKEditor module installed, but in the libraries path I see a ckeditor folder.
I tried to install the module pasteFromWord, and I found it didn't work with my a local copy of my site. So I looked around, and I found there is a newer version of CKeditor (4.6.1) rewritten with lots of features like embedding pictures, and it is open source too. There is only an older version of CKEditor as a Drupal 7 module, and it is driving me nuts to install anything that works.
I read about problems with WYSIWYG and I disabled it, but I cannot uninstall it, so I cancelled the whole directory under modules. I installed the latest Drupal CKEDitor (Dev) but all I see in my text field is htmlcode in full html mode. There are no editor icons. I put higher values for the memory settings in settings.php, restarted the server, cleared the cache, tried all sorts of thing suggested in Why does the Wysiwyg module and Ckeditor library not show the CKEditor when editing a node?
All tests are done as user1. By now, I get a simple text field in plain and filtered HTML mode; in full HTML, the text box body simply vanishes.
In Mozilla the Console gives: TypeError: a(...).on is not a function js_8iXNyfjLJ1tJPju6nAtk8ETos8oLn9Arp0f2Z5uBPaQ.js:850:1412 TypeError: CKEDITOR.dialogCommand is not a constructor plugin.js:4:43 in http://localhost:8080/drupal7bis/sites/all/modules/ckeditor/ckeditor/plugins/SimpleImage/plugin.js which is one of the few plugins I enabled so far (nearly all are installed though because indeed I took the full package) and it reads: CKEDITOR.plugins.add( 'SimpleImage', { icons: 'simpleimage', init: function( editor ) { editor.addCommand( 'simpleimage', new CKEDITOR.dialogCommand( 'simpleimageDialog' ) ); editor.ui.addButton( 'SimpleImage', { label: 'Add a image', icons: 'simpleimage', command: 'simpleimage' });
CKEDITOR.dialog.add( 'simpleimageDialog', this.path + 'dialogs/simpleimage.js' );
}
});
When I disable this plugin, only the first error remains. The body does not vanish any more in full mode, but still no editor appears. There are no recent records in watchdog...
