Can't get CKEditor plugins to work in django

Question

I am trying to get the CKEditor plugin, codesnippet, to work in the django admin but am unable to. CKEditor works if I don\'t define any CKEDIT_CONFIGS in my settings.py. It

Answer 1

I fought with this for ages trying to install the plugins and dependencies manually.

In the end, I packaged up all the plugins I wanted with CKEditor Builder and dropped it into a ckeditor directory in my STATICFILES_DIRS. /static/ckeditor/ckeditor/plugins & .js etc

I am using CKEditor within https://github.com/django-blog-zinnia/zinnia-wysiwyg-ckeditor so my settings look like.....

CKEDITOR_UPLOAD_PATH = 'uploads'
CKEDITOR_IMAGE_BACKEND = 'pillow'

CKEDITOR_CONFIGS = {

        'zinnia-content': {

            'toolbar': 'Zinnia',
            "extraPlugins":'codesnippet',
            "codeSnippet_theme": "monokai_sublime",
            'skin': 'moono-dark',

            'toolbar_Zinnia': [
                ['Cut', 'Copy', 'Paste', 'PasteText', 'PasteFromWord'],
                ['Undo', 'Redo'],
                ['Scayt'],
                ['Link', 'Unlink', 'Anchor'],
                ['Image', 'Table', 'HorizontalRule', 'SpecialChar'],
                ['Source'],
                ['Maximize', 'Resize'],
                '/',
                ['Bold', 'Italic', 'Underline', 'Strike',
                 'Subscript', 'Superscript', '-', 'RemoveFormat'],
                ['NumberedList', 'BulletedList', '-',
                 'Outdent', 'Indent', '-', 'Blockquote'],
                ['Styles', 'Format'],['CodeSnippet'],
                '/',
                ['Smiley', 'About', 'Preview', 'Templates' ],
            ],
        },
    }

So hopefully, without Zinnia, your settings would look like....

    CKEDITOR_CONFIGS = {
        'default': {
            'toolbar': 'Full',
            "extraPlugins":'codesnippet',
            "codeSnippet_theme": "monokai_sublime",
            'skin': 'moono-dark',                 
        },
    }
