Is it possible to create a block of code within the CKEditor that will not be touched by the editor itself, and will be maintained in its intended-state until explicitly changed by the user? I've been attempting to input javascript variables (bound in script tags) and a flash movie following, but CKEditor continues to rewrite my pasted code/markup, and in doing so breaking my code.
I'm working with the following setup:
<script type="text/javascript">
var editor = CKEDITOR.replace("content", {
height : "500px",
width : "680px",
resize_maxWidth : "680px",
resize_minWidth : "680px",
toolbar :
[
['Source','-','Save','Preview'],
['Cut','Copy','Paste','PasteText','PasteFromWord','-','Print', 'SpellChecker', 'Scayt'],
['Undo','Redo','-','Find','Replace','-','SelectAll','RemoveFormat'],
['Bold','Italic','Underline','Strike','-','Subscript','Superscript'],
['NumberedList','BulletedList','-','Outdent','Indent','Blockquote'],
['JustifyLeft','JustifyCenter','JustifyRight','JustifyBlock'],
['Link','Unlink','Anchor'],
['Image','Table','HorizontalRule','SpecialChar']
]
});
CKFinder.SetupCKEditor( editor, "<?php print url::base(); ?>assets/ckfinder" );
</script>
I suppose the most ideal solution would be to preserve the contents of any tag that contains class="preserve"
enabling much more than the limited exclusives.
Update: I'm thinking the solution to this problem is in CKEDITOR.config.protectedSource()
, but my regular-expression experience is proving to be too juvenile to handle this issue. How would I go about exempting all tags that contain the 'preserved' class from being touched by CKEditor?
Suggestion 1: Create separate plain textarea for the admin to enter the scripts / HTML code.
Suggestion 2: Introduce a bbcode, like [script][/script]
or [html][/html]
that the admins can use to put the scripts / HTML code and have your server-side translate them into <script></script>
and HTML code. Make sure when showing a saved content into the CKEditor, you need to have your server-side translate them into the bbcode first (or CKEditor will strip them out). Or the less-hassle way is to store the submitted content in the database as it is entered and only do the translation when displaying the page.
Suggestion 3: Since you want to use class="preserve"
to mark tags you don't want CKEditor to strip out, then add the following JavaScript lines when initializing the editor:
// protect <anytag class="preserve"></anytag>
CKEDITOR.config.protectedSource.push( /<([\S]+)[^>]*class="preserve"[^>]*>.*<\/\1>/g );
// protect <anytag class="preserve" /><
CKEDITOR.config.protectedSource.push( /<[^>]+class="preserve"[^>\/]*\/>/g );
In CKEDITOR folder you have a config.js file. Open it and paste the code:
CKEDITOR.editorConfig = function( config ) {
config.allowedContent = {
script: true,
$1: {
// This will set the default set of elements
elements: CKEDITOR.dtd,
attributes: true,
styles: true,
classes: true
}
};
};
It will allow <script>...</script>
tags in Source mode.
The issue is not with the CKEditor. Instead, the issue was with the MVC-Engine running the Site itself. Kohana has a global_xss_filtering
within its configuration that is enabled by default. This prevents the submission of script tags, to prevent scripting-attacks on your site. Changing this value to false
will permit the submission of <script>
tags in forms, but it also opens up the site to potential security issues that can be very serious. It is advisable that you not disable global_xss_filtering
.
/* /(system|application)/config/config.php - line 66 */
/**
* Enable or disable global XSS filtering of GET, POST, and SERVER data. This
* option also accepts a string to specify a specific XSS filtering tool.
*/
$config['global_xss_filtering'] = FALSE;
