Question

I am having trouble making any “common” WYSIWYG work with Rails. We even had to do one ourselves with RedCloth for the moment.

I tried to use tinymce-rails but couldn’t make it work. Also tried nicEdit which worked but only when you called the online library (and also looks abandoned).

Has anyone worked with a good WYSIWYG that is jQuery and Rails 3.1 (Sprockets) friendly?

Answer 1

I use ckeditor in my Rails 3.1 app.

Just throw the folder into you lib/assets/javascripts and whenever you need it reference it like this:

= javascript_include_tag "ckeditor/ckeditor.js"

And in javascript:

:javascript
  $(function(){
    CKEDITOR.replace( 'input',
      {
        // Optional params:
        skin : 'office2003',
        height: '700px'
      });
  })
