Rails 4 and ckeditor

Question

My app uses Rails 4, and I'm using the ckeditor gem and turbolinks.

In my form partial I call the ckeditor as so:

.form-group
  = f.label :content, "Содержание", class: "col-sm-3 control-label"
  .col-sm-8
    = f.text_area :content, class: "form-control ckeditor", rows: 50

When I go to this page, I don't see ckeditor. Only after I update page does it appear. But why? What am I doing wrong? I think it's because of turbolinks. How do I solve this?

Answer 1

Using this gem: ckeditor

Gemfile for the last version

gem "ckeditor", :git => "https://github.com/galetahub/ckeditor.git"

Application.js

//= require ckeditor/init

In the views as the readme said:

<%= form_for @page do |form| -%>
  ...
<%= form.cktext_area :notes, :class => 'someclass', :ckeditor => {:language => 'uk'} %>
...
<%= form.cktext_area :content, :value => 'Default value', :id => 'sometext' %>
...
<%= cktext_area :page, :info, :cols => 40, :ckeditor => {:uiColor => '#AADC6E', :toolbar => 'mini'} %>
...
<% end -%>

Use cktext_area instead of text_area

for the rails 4 assets you need

//= require ckeditor/override
//= require ckeditor/init

And there's a trick for the compilation of assets, you need to look into the readme.

Hope it helps!
