I'm trying to load TypeKit fonts into an instance of the CKEditor via jQuery. Here's my code:
$('.ck-blog textarea').ckeditor(function () {
CKEDITOR.scriptLoader.load(
"http://use.typekit.com/zku8fnp.js",
function (success) {
Typekit.load();
alert(success); },
null,
true);
},
{
resize_enabled: false,
skin: 'kama',
height: '500px',
toolbarCanCollapse: false,
toolbar_Full: toolbar,
forcePasteAsPlainText: true,
autoGrow_onStartup: true,
templates_replaceContent: false,
extraPlugins: 'autogrow,wordcount',
removePlugins: 'resize',
contentsCss: '/areas/admin/content/css/ckeditor-blog.css',
templates_files: ['/areas/admin/scripts/ckeditor-templates.js'],
autoParagraph: false
});
I'm getting the success alert after TypeKit is supposed to load but I am not see the fonts load. Any idea what I may be doing wrong?
Here what I've managed to assemble after 3 hours of digging over Internet:
CKEDITOR.on(
'instanceReady',
function(ev) {
var $script = document.createElement('script'),
$editor_instance = CKEDITOR.instances[ev.editor.name];
$script.src = '//use.typekit.com/MYKEY.js';
$script.onload = function() {
try{$editor_instance.window.$.Typekit.load();}catch(e){}
};
$editor_instance.document.getHead().$.appendChild($script);
}
);
Trick here is to use CKEditor's "window" object, that comes from iframe.
CKEDITOR.scriptLoader
appears to be used to load assets to the parent window, not into the iframe'd document
. This causes your code above to execute and re-apply the Typekit font to the parent window instead of the iframe.
My solution for this is to set document.domain
in your parent window, create <script>
elements dynamically, append them to the <head>
of the iframe document
.
1. Your Typekit has a domain whitelist. CKEditor will not set set the <iframe>
tag's src
attribute to return a valid value in this whitelist unless you specify document.domain
in your parent window to be a domain on that whitelist.
document.domain = "example.com";
2. I created the scripts with lines like
script1 = document.newElement('script');
script1.src = "https://use.typekit.com/MYKEY.js";
script2 = document.newElement('script');
script2.text = "try{Typekit.load();}catch(e){}";
3. I then append these to the dom (I use jQuery in my project, so that's how I target the element)
head = jQuery('textarea.editor').ckeditorGet().document.getHead().$;
head.appendChild(script1);
head.appendChild(script2);
The Typekit fonts are now applied.
Modified for use within the CKEditor setup
editors.ckeditor(function(){
var head = this.document.getHead().$,
script1 = document.newElement("script"),
script2 = document.newElement("script");
script1.src = sprintf("https://use.typekit.com/%s.js", app_typekit_id);
script2.text = "setTimeout(function(){ try{Typekit.load();}catch(e){} }, 0);";
head.appendChild(script1);
head.appendChild(script2);
},
{
//... your custom config
});
Maybe there is a better way than the setTimeout(function(){ ... }, 0);
(a 0ms delay), but leaving just the try{Typekit.load();}catch(e){}
does not give script1
enough time to be appended and interpreted by the browser to begin blocking. Also note, my use of sprintf()
above comes from a library (not native JS).
