Rich Text Editor Location Settings

Access this dialog from Server Administration - Rich Text Editor Settings - Directories to set the default location for sites on this server.

CommonSpot's uses the industry-standard CKEditor for browser-based WYSIWYG (What You See is What You Get) rich text editing, enabling non-technical contributors to quickly create and format content for the Web. CKEditor is automatically distributed over a content delivery network (CDN), a large distributed system of servers deployed in multiple data centers across the Internet for efficient product and update delivery. Sites have the option of running the CKEditor from the distribution service or downloading and running it from local servers. Use this dialog to tell CommonSpot where the CKEditor is hosted.

Sites can override server settings at the site level. See the description for General Tab settings in Rich Text Editor Settings.

CKEditor CDN - The Editor and updates are served from the CKEditor distribution network. Locations are chosen for maximum efficiency. CommonSpot automatically adds all required scripts to CommonSpot pages. To access the full set of toolbar icons use the following: http://cdn.ckeditor.com/4.5.4/full-all/ckeditor.js
To access the standard set of toolbar icons use the following: http://cdn.ckeditor.com/4.5.4/standard/ckeditor.js
Downloaded Locally - Sites are responsible for manually downloading the preferred CKEditor package and all updates from http://ckeditor.com/download and serving the editor locally. Enter the local host location.

See http://docs.ckeditor.com/#!/guide/dev_installation and CKEditor user documentation for details.

If you are overriding the server setting at the site level, you need to register the ckeditor resource using the CommonSpot Resource interface at the site level, as CommonSpot will use its resource loader framework to load the CKEditor resources. See Resources and Libraries.

Once installed site administrators or template designers can control the type and level of RTE functionality available to content contributors. See Site Administration - Authoring Tools - Rich Text Editor Settings to view or change properties.
