CKEditor plugin for CakePHP 3.x with version select
===================================================

[](#ckeditor-plugin-for-cakephp-3x-with-version-select)

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

You can install this plugin into your CakePHP application using [composer](http://getcomposer.org). This is a personal version of:  with the possibility of choose the version and distribution.

The recommended way to install composer packages is:

```
composer require ebarrosjr/ckeditor

```

Then in config/bootstrap.php add:

```
Plugin::load('CkEditor');
```

In either src/Controller/AppController.php, or any controller where you want to use CKEditor, add:

```
public $helpers = ['CkEditor.Ck' => [
	'distribution' => 'full', // Default Option :: Others options => 'basic', 'standard'
	'version' => '4.11.4', //Default option, others via CDN page
	'script' => null // You can now point to a custom ckeditor JS file
]];
```

Finally, in your template file, simply add this to call CKEditor:

```
echo $this->Ck->input('field_name');
```

This is the equilivant of using

```
echo $this->Form->input('field_name');
```

Except that CKEditor will be loaded instead of a text area!

Advanced Options
----------------

[](#advanced-options)

You can make adjustments to CKEditor and the form input as needed. There is full flexibility in this regard.

The full explaination is as follows:

```
echo $this->Form->input($input, $options, $ckEditorOptions, $ckEditorUrl);
```

```
@param string $input
```

The name of the field, can be field\_name or model.field\_name

```
@param array $options
```

Options include $options\['label'\] for a custom label and any other custom Form Helper options

```
@param array $ckEditorOptions
```

This will pass any options from [http://docs.ckeditor.com/#!/guide/dev\_configuration](http://docs.ckeditor.com/#!/guide/dev_configuration) to CKEditor

```
@param string $ckEditorUrl
```

This gives an option to overwrite the CKEditor URL. You can use a local URL then if required.

Examples
--------

[](#examples)

Use an associated field name

```
echo $this->Ck->input('category.description');
```

Generate a custom label

```
echo $this->Ck->input('field_name', ['label' => 'A unique label']);
```

Add options to CKEditor from [http://docs.ckeditor.com/#!/guide/dev\_configuration](http://docs.ckeditor.com/#!/guide/dev_configuration)

```
echo $this->Ck->input('field_name', [], ['fullPage' => true, 'allowedContent' => 'true']);
```

Load a local version of CKEditor, or a different version

```
echo $this->Ck->input('field_name', [], [], '/js/ckeditor.js');
```

Example showing all the options together

```
echo $this->Ck->input('field_name', ['label' => 'A unique label'], ['fullPage' => true, 'allowedContent' => 'true'], '/js/ckeditor.js');
```
