Important note: CKEditor module was moved into Backdrop core in version 1.2.0. Use of this module is no longer necessary and no further changes will be made here. If you would like to report a bug or feature request against CKEditor module, file an issue in the main Backdrop CMS core repository at https://github.com/backdrop/backdrop-issues.
This module is a port to Backdrop of the Drupal contributed module 'CKEditor - WYSIWYG HTML editor'. It allows Backdrop to replace textarea fields with CKEditor. This module provides a link between Backdrop and the CKEditor library which may either be downloaded from http://ckeditor.com/download or may be linked from CDN - //cdn.ckeditor.com/4.4.3/full-all.
CKEditor is an online rich text editor that can be embedded inside web pages. It is a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor which means that the text edited in it looks as similar as possible to the results end users will see after the document gets published. It brings to the Web popular editing features found in desktop word processors such as Microsoft Word and OpenOffice.org Writer. CKEditor is truly lightweight and does not require any kind of installation on the client computer.
This is the first official release of this port to Backdrop. In a future release of Backdrop it is expected that CKEditor will be incorporated in Core and this contributed module will no longer be needed.
Download and install this contributed module in the usual way. It will appear in the list of modules under the category User Interface. There are various configuration settings. As a default it links to the CDN at //cdn.ckeditor.com/4.4.3/full-all and so it is not necessary to install the CKEditor library.
There are also a number of optional plugins.
If you are looking for more information, have any trouble with the configuration of the module or found an issue, please visit the official project page: http://drupal.org/project/ckeditor
