CKEditor not working in IE or Chrome
Reported by peters@slx-online.biz | March 23rd, 2015 @ 11:51 AM | in 2.3.4 (closed)
CKeditor is fine in Firefox (latest), Safari (5.1.7) and Opera (28). It is not working in IE 11 or Chrome (41). Screenshot is IE. A small window briefly opens then disappears as expected, but the editor window does not then open.
Also, changing config.js, for example to change editor colours, does not work, the file does not appear to load (Firefox, Safari, Opera). It's also not clear in the documentation how to use the site's CSS within the editor.
Peter.

Additionally, just tested with Firefox so far, when I click to add a link, then say Browse Server, I get the usual Insert / Modify Link screen. I click on Switch to File Manager and get the attached 'Listings for expFile message instead of File manager.

Did you try turning off minification for Js? Go to configure website -> Minify -> Remove the check mark beside "Minify and Combine linked js scripts?"

Thanks for the link, I missed that one.
The textarea has an inline visibity:hidden when I look at the console. If I change this the textarea appears. Without analysing every line, the inline editor code appears to be there and does not look any different to the same block in Firefox's source. The level of CKEditor you are shipping appears to be at a level that should be compatible with IE11 (I see earlier versions showed similar problems to what I am seeing). Is it possible that something from the old editor has been carried across during migration from 0.9x ?
I tried TinyMCE, it works but is not a practical alternative as my editors are familiar with the CKE interface.
The Switch to File Manager problem in the additional append is the same as happened during the early stages of development of the last (Sandtoft) site while it was on my Fasthosts shared server account (#1180). This was only resolved by moving to Sandtoft's own server. This is not an option this time around, I know this is a Fasthosts issue but I need to find how to fix it as they don't acknowledge this a stheir problem. I don't have this problem on the currently live 0.9x site.

I thought that would be the case. Changing theme did not help. I've also trawled through IE's settings and not found anything untoward.
File Manager issue is 1180. Same problem on both.

That makes two of us!! I'm afraid that didn't help either. It looks like Fasthosts can't resolve:

I don't know what's supposed to happen, with the 'file' folder containing the picker file not being directly under the domain name.
The direct call to File manage http://devel.britishtrolley.org.uk/file/picker/ajax_action/1/update... works fine.

Can you please explain the connection between my English language site and Dutch language files? Thanks.

Unfortunately this is not the problem. First of all the browser language is English - see screen shot, and secondly I have downloaded all language files from ckeditor and put them on the server and it still does not work.

Today I did a bulk copy of the ckeditor folder from a working site to the problem site. The problem on my machine with IE and Chrome has disappeared. I will now check that the site editors are able to edit too before closing this off.
