New to Rails and you started probably with the hardest cracker by my opinion :wink:

CK loads setting dynamical when it is loaded into browser. Which can not be done right with assets pipeline.

If you read documentation on github you will see this:

Hi Damjan Rems,

****Thank you so much for your reply, Oops, is that a cracker…?!, (OMG), Yes I followed the gems documentation and have created files according through the documentation,

but, they did not mention any options about how to remove buttons(options) which are not necessary for my app. like "source, save, new page, print, paste text, paste from' etc.,

And I also included the scripting code

   $('.ckeditor').ckeditor({

  // optional config 

    })

in java file "app/assets/javascripts/application.js", I did not understand what to replace in the place of "// optional config "

Thank you,

My solution is specific to CMS I am building. My biggest cracker at the moment is documentation :wink:

It took me about two days to crack toolbar. Although everything is in ck documentation http://docs.ckeditor.com it is very muddy ;-(

Put this somewhere into ck_config.js

CKEDITOR.editorConfig = function( config ) { config.toolbar_basic = [     [ 'Save', '-', 'Cut', 'Copy', 'Paste', 'PasteText', 'PasteFromWord', '-', 'Undo', 'Redo' ],     [ 'Bold', 'Italic', 'Underline', '-','JustifyLeft','JustifyCenter','JustifyRight','JustifyBlock'] ]; //You may reconfigure toolbar for all sessions config.toolbar = config.toolbar_basic; };

Or comment out last line and put into ckeditor object initializer for specific session:

CKEDITOR.replace( 'record_body',{height: 500, customConfig: '/ck/ck_config.js', contentsCss: '/ck/ck_css.css', toolbar: 'basic'} )
