Steps to reproduce

Open TextBlockService.php.

Replace

    $formMapper->add('settings', 'sonata_type_immutable_array', 
        array(
        'keys' => array(
            array(
                'content', 'textarea', 
                array()
            ),
        ),
    ));

with

    $formMapper->add('settings', 'sonata_type_immutable_array',
        array(
        'keys' => array(
            array(
                'content',
                CKEditorType::class,
                array(),
            )
        ),
    ));

... and create a new block, then edit the default text in the resulting CKEditor. Save text. You will find that the text does not save but is replaced again with the default text.

Expected results

New text saves and is visible when the block's editing interface is refreshed.

Actual results

Text is again replaced with 'Insert your custom content here.'

Did you try to use SonataFormatterBundle?

[patrickmaynard]

Hi @OskarStark -- thanks for commenting. I did not try to use SonataFormatterBundle. Is there a piece of documentation somewhere that describes how to use that bundle along with the block bundle?

[nicolas-joubert]

Hello @patrickmaynard, i've fix same issue with ['input_sync' => true] option.

[core23]

Did this work for you @patrickmaynard ?

Feel free to close

[core23]

IMO this bug is not related to the block bundle. The CKEditorType type needs two field

[christophe-bardzinsky]

Hi, is there someone who found the solution? I have the same problem.

[mirlo06]

@christophe-bardzinsky you can try this, it works for me :

        $formMapper
                ->add('description', CKEditorType::Class, array(
                    'config' => array(
                        'uiColor' => '#ffffff', 'toolbar' => 'full', 'required' => true
                    ),'input_sync' => true
                ));
