Can No longer add an email template for WYSIWYG in CK Editor

turner2f · September 16, 2020

Hello Support,

I wrote a "Contribute" article in November 2017 on " How to create your own Email Template within CKEditor " .

That was when I was using version 4.0.1.

I have upgraded and I am now using version 4.11.2, and I can no longer create a template within CKEditor .

You can also see the Custom Templates in action at . . .

=================================

1) - Was the CKEditor software updated somewhere between 4.0.1 and 4.11.2 ?

----------------------

2) - I tried a "copy and paste" the code from my former installation found within the CKEditor folder where the "Default JS file" is . . .

/vendors/ckeditor/plugins/templates/templates/

NOTE : Usually we could see our custom HTML template when you go to "Account Actions" - - > "Email Client" - - > from within your Admin panel

RESULT : That step no longer seems to work .

----------------------

3) - I tried following the same instructions found at https://github.com/ckeditor/ckeditor4/blob/master/plugins/templates/templates/default.js

Within the default JS file found at...

/vendors/ckeditor/plugins/templates/templates/default.js

RESULT : That step no longer seems to work . I saw no changes as far as an additional template within the WYSIWYG area of the

----------------------

4) - I even tried completely replacing the "CKEditor" folder with files I had in my former Blesta install.

Found at . . .
/vendors/ckeditor/

RESULT : Replacing the folder from my former install did not have any affect .

NOTE : The only thing I have not been able to try is to "clear the cache" in Blesta .

I do not know how to .

----------------------

5) - Finally, because I was NOT seeing ANY NOTICEABLE changes , I tried completely deleting the "CKEditor" folder altogether via SFTP.

Found at . . .
/vendors/ckeditor/

RESULT : When I logged into the Admin area and then went to the page where the CK Editor would be, to my surprise the WYSIWYG interface was STILL there .

It's as if I never deleted any of the "CK Editor" files or folder at all .

QUESTION : So where amongst the files in Blesta is the CK Editor WYSIWYG editor getting it's functionality from ?

===================

Look forward to your reply.

Thanks in advance.

We moved ckeditor to vendors/blesta/ckeditor. I wasn't directly involved but it looks like we did so in order to maintain some custom changes.

Based on #5 . . .

I searched for the file that is adding the CK Editor WYSIWYG to the interface .

The file is . . . " admin_clients_email.pdt "

At LINES 72 - 79 it says,

<?php
$this->Javascript->setInline("
$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#html').ckeditor(function() {}, {language: '" . substr(Configure::get('Blesta.language'), 0, 2) . "'});
    $('div.tab_content').blestaTabbedContent();
});
");
?>

1) - Where amongst the Blesta files and folders is this code pulling the actual CK Editor ?

2) - Or is this code pulling the CK Editor from an " off-site " source ?

--------------------------

I am asking this because I physically removed the " CKEditor " folder altogether via SFTP.

Found at . . .
/vendors/ckeditor/

And when I logged into the Admin area, and then went to the page where the CK Editor would be,
to my surprise the WYSIWYG interface was STILL there .

It's as if I never deleted any of the "CK Editor" files or folder at all ;
as if the code mentioned earlier is displaying the CK Editor from an " off-site " source .
