Integrating CKEditor with Rails 3.2

Question

Similar to Integrating CKEditor with Rails 3.1 Asset Pipline

I am trying to integrate ckeditor with my rails 3.2 application.<

Answer 1

I had a similar while trying to combine multiple stylesheets and javascripts into one in a Rails 3.1 application without asset pipeline, using the stylesheet_link_tag and javascript_include_tag with the cache option. In this case the files are not always loaded in the correct order, and the paths to other ckeditor files like the configuration file "config.js" and language files like "lang/en.js" are not well defined. This means you will get other additional "NetworkError: 404 Not Found" errors while retrieving them, and the configuration and language files are not available, which causes futher fatal errors like the one mentioned above, Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'options' of undefined.

Using a Javascript timeout did not help, and setting the CKEDITOR_BASEPATH did not help, either, at least if you define it in the application.js just before the editor is loaded as I did (maybe the order matters here?). To make it work it is possible to extract the ckeditor javascript from the common cached file (or take it out of the asset pipeline) and load it seperately after the rest of the files with

<%= javascript_include_tag 'ckeditor/ckeditor.js' %>
