I do not recommend using this package anymore since the open source version of CKEditor 4 has unfixed security issues. More on this in my blog post. Alternatives are listed here on Django Packages. I personally am using django-prose-editor. Thanks!
Django admin CKEditor integration.
Provides a RichTextField, RichTextUploadingField, CKEditorWidget and CKEditorUploadingWidget utilizing CKEditor with image uploading and browsing support included.
This version also includes:
Install or add django-ckeditor to your python path.
pip install django-ckeditor
Add ckeditor to your INSTALLED_APPS setting.
Run the collectstatic management command: $ ./manage.py collectstatic. This will copy static CKEditor required media resources into the directory given by the STATIC_ROOT setting. See Django's documentation on managing static files for more info.
CKEditor needs to know where its assets are located because it loads them lazily only when needed. The location is determined in the ckeditor-init.js script. and defaults to static/ckeditor/ckeditor/. This does not work all the time, for example when using ManifestStaticFilesStorage, any asset packaging pipeline or whatnot. django-ckeditor is quite good at automatically detecting the correct place even then, but sometimes you have to hardcode CKEDITOR_BASEPATH somewhere. This can be hardcoded in settings, i.e.:
CKEDITOR_BASEPATH = "/my_static/ckeditor/ckeditor/"
It is possible to override the admin/change_form.html template with your own if you really need to do this, i.e.:
{% extends "admin/change_form.html" %}
{% block extrahead %}
<script>window.CKEDITOR_BASEPATH = '/my_static/ckeditor/ckeditor/';</script>
{{ block.super }}
{% endblock %}
Of course, you should adapt this snippet to your needs when using CKEditor outside the admin app.
Add ckeditor_uploader to your INSTALLED_APPS setting.
Add a CKEDITOR_UPLOAD_PATH setting to the project's settings.py file. This setting specifies a relative path to your CKEditor media upload directory. CKEditor uses Django's storage API. By default, Django uses the file system storage backend (it will use your MEDIA_ROOT and MEDIA_URL) and if you don't use a different backend you have to have write permissions for the CKEDITOR_UPLOAD_PATH path within MEDIA_ROOT, i.e.:
CKEDITOR_UPLOAD_PATH = "uploads/"
When using default file system storage, images will be uploaded to "uploads" folder in your MEDIA_ROOT and urls will be created against MEDIA_URL (/media/uploads/image.jpg).
If you want to be able to have control over filename generation, you have to add a custom filename generator to your settings:
# utils.py
def get_filename(filename, request):
return filename.upper()
# settings.py CKEDITOR_FILENAME_GENERATOR = 'utils.get_filename'
CKEditor has been tested with django FileSystemStorage and S3BotoStorage. There are issues using S3Storage from django-storages.
For the default filesystem storage configuration, MEDIA_ROOT and MEDIA_URL must be set correctly for the media files to work (like those uploaded by the ckeditor widget).
Add CKEditor URL include to your project's urls.py file:
path('ckeditor/', include('ckeditor_uploader.urls')),
Note that by adding those URLs you add views that can upload and browse through uploaded images. Since django-ckeditor 4.4.6, those views are decorated using @staff_member_required. If you want a different permission decorator (login_required, user_passes_test etc.) then add views defined in ckeditor.urls manually to your urls.py.
Add a CKEDITOR_CONFIGS setting to the project's settings.py file. This specifies sets of CKEditor settings that are passed to CKEditor (see CKEditor's Setting Configurations), i.e.:
CKEDITOR_CONFIGS = {
'awesome_ckeditor': {
'toolbar': 'Basic',
},
}
The name of the settings can be referenced when instantiating a RichTextField:
content = RichTextField(config_name='awesome_ckeditor')
The name of the settings can be referenced when instantiating a CKEditorWidget:
widget = CKEditorWidget(config_name='awesome_ckeditor')
By specifying a set named default you'll be applying its settings to all RichTextField and CKEditorWidget objects for which config_name has not been explicitly defined
CKEDITOR_CONFIGS = {
'default': {
'toolbar': 'full',
'height': 300,
'width': 300,
},
}
It is possible to create a custom toolbar
CKEDITOR_CONFIGS = {
'default': {
'toolbar': 'Custom',
'toolbar_Custom': [
['Bold', 'Italic', 'Underline'],
['NumberedList', 'BulletedList', '-', 'Outdent', 'Indent', '-', 'JustifyLeft', 'JustifyCenter', 'JustifyRight', 'JustifyBlock'],
['Link', 'Unlink'],
['RemoveFormat', 'Source']
]
}
}
If you want or need plugins which are not part of django-ckeditor's plugin set you may specify assets and plugins as follows:
text = RichTextField(
config_name='forum-post',
# CKEDITOR.config.extraPlugins:
extra_plugins=['someplugin'],
# CKEDITOR.plugins.addExternal(...)
external_plugin_resources=[(
'someplugin',
'/static/.../path-to-someplugin/',
'plugin.js',
)],
)
Alternatively, those settings can also be provided through
``CKEDITOR_CONFIGS``.
All uploaded files are slugified by default. To disable this feature, set CKEDITOR_UPLOAD_SLUGIFY_FILENAME to False.
Set the CKEDITOR_RESTRICT_BY_USER setting to True in the project's settings.py file (default False). This restricts access to uploaded images to the uploading user (e.g. each user only sees and uploads their own images). Upload paths are prefixed by the string returned by get_username. If CKEDITOR_RESTRICT_BY_USER is set to a string, the named property is used instead. Superusers can still see all images. NOTE: This restriction is only enforced within the CKEditor media browser.
Set the CKEDITOR_BROWSE_SHOW_DIRS setting to True to show directories on the "Browse Server" page. This enables image grouping by directory they are stored in, sorted by date.
Set the CKEDITOR_RESTRICT_BY_DATE setting to True to bucked uploaded files by year/month/day.
You can set a custom file storage for CKEditor uploader by defining it under CKEDITOR_STORAGE_BACKEND variable in settings.
You can set CKEDITOR_IMAGE_BACKEND to one of the supported backends to enable thumbnails in ckeditor gallery. By default, no thumbnails are created and full-size images are used as preview. Supported backends:
ckeditor_uploader.backends.PillowBackend: Uses PillowWith the PillowBackend backend, you can change the thumbnail size with the CKEDITOR_THUMBNAIL_SIZE setting (formerly THUMBNAIL_SIZE). Default value: (75, 75)
With the PillowBackend backend, you can convert and compress the uploaded images to jpeg, to save disk space. Set the CKEDITOR_FORCE_JPEG_COMPRESSION setting to True (default False) You can change the CKEDITOR_IMAGE_QUALITY setting (formerly IMAGE_QUALITY), which is passed to Pillow:
The image quality, on a scale from 1 (worst) to 95 (best). The default is 75. Values above 95 should be avoided; 100 disables portions of the JPEG compression algorithm and results in large files with hardly any gain in image quality.
This feature is disabled for animated images.
The quickest way to add rich text editing capabilities to your models is to use the included RichTextField model field type. A CKEditor widget is rendered as the form field but in all other regards the field behaves like the standard Django TextField. For example:
from django.db import models
from ckeditor.fields import RichTextField
class Post(models.Model):
content = RichTextField()
For file upload support use RichTextUploadingField from ckeditor_uploader.fields.
Alternatively, you can use the included CKEditorWidget as the widget for a formfield. For example:
from django import forms
from django.contrib import admin
from ckeditor.widgets import CKEditorWidget
from post.models import Post
class PostAdminForm(forms.ModelForm):
content = forms.CharField(widget=CKEditorWidget())
class Meta:
model = Post
fields = '__all__'
class PostAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
form = PostAdminForm
admin.site.register(Post, PostAdmin)
For file upload support use CKEditorUploadingWidget from ckeditor_uploader.widgets.
Overriding widget template
In Django >=1.11 for overriding ckeditor/widget.html you have three ways:
Place ckeditor/widget.html in BASE_DIR/templates
FORM_RENDERER to TemplateSettings.FORM_RENDERER = 'django.forms.renderers.TemplatesSetting'
templates folder in DIRSTEMPLATES = [{
...
'DIRS': [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates'), ],
...
}]
'django.forms' to INSTALLED_APPS.Place ckeditor/widget.html in your_app/templates and place 'your_app' before 'ckeditor' and 'ckeditor_uploader' in INSTALLED_APPS.
Inherit from CKEditorWidget and override template_name with a custom template available in TEMPLATES DIRS as defined settings.py.
class MyCustomCKEditorWidget(CKEditorWidget): template_name = "templates/custom_ckeditor/widget.html"
When you are rendering a form outside the admin panel, you'll have to make sure all form media is present for the editor to work. One way to achieve this is like this:
<form>
{{ myform.media }}
{{ myform.as_p }}
<input type="submit"/>
</form>
or you can load the media manually as it is done in the demo app:
{% load static %}
<script type="text/javascript" src="{% static "ckeditor/ckeditor-init.js" %}"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="{% static "ckeditor/ckeditor/ckeditor.js" %}"></script>
When you need to render RichTextField's HTML output in your templates safely, just use {{ content|safe }}, Django's safe filter
Included is a management command to create thumbnails for images already contained in CKEDITOR_UPLOAD_PATH. This is useful to create thumbnails when using django-ckeditor with existing images. Issue the command as follows:
$ ./manage.py generateckeditorthumbnails
NOTE: If you're using custom views remember to include ckeditor.js in your form's media either through {{ form.media }} or through a <script> tag. Admin will do this for you automatically. See Django's Form Media docs for more info.
See https://django-storages.readthedocs.org/en/latest/
NOTE: django-ckeditor will not work with S3 through django-storages without this line in settings.py:
AWS_QUERYSTRING_AUTH = False
To get allowedContent to work, disable stylesheetparser plugin. So include this in your settings.py.:
CKEDITOR_CONFIGS = {
"default": {
"removePlugins": "stylesheetparser",
}
}
django-ckeditor includes the following ckeditor plugins, but not all are enabled by default:
a11yhelp, about, adobeair, ajax, autoembed, autogrow, autolink, bbcode, clipboard, codesnippet, codesnippetgeshi, colordialog, devtools, dialog, div, divarea, docprops, embed, embedbase, embedsemantic, filetools, find, flash, forms, iframe, iframedialog, image, image2, language, lineutils, link, liststyle, magicline, mathjax, menubutton, notification, notificationaggregator, pagebreak, pastefromword, placeholder, preview, scayt, sharedspace, showblocks, smiley, sourcedialog, specialchar, stylesheetparser, table, tableresize, tabletools, templates, uicolor, uploadimage, uploadwidget, widget, wsc, xml
The image/file upload feature is done by the uploadimage plugin.
CKEDITOR_ALLOW_NONIMAGE_FILES = False in your settings.py file. Currently non-image files are allowed by default.If you clone the repository you will be able to run the ckeditor_demo application.
pip install -r ckeditor_demo_requirements.txtpython manage.py migrateThere is a forms.Form on the main page (/) and a model in admin that uses the widget for a model field. Database is set to sqlite3 and STATIC/MEDIA_ROOT to folders in temporary directory.
The recommended way to run selenium tests is using tox. Select the appropriate selenium driver using the SELENIUM environment variable and optionally specify that you want to run only one environment since selenium takes some time and/or since you do not have all supported versions of Python installed locally. The example uses the combination of Python 3.9 and Django 4.0 which is a supported combination at the time of writing:
# Either SELENIUM=firefox tox -e py39-dj40 # Or SELENIUM=chromium tox -e py39-dj40 # Or even SELENIUM=firefox tox
If your browser has problems displaying uploaded images in the image upload window you may need to change Django settings:
X_FRAME_OPTIONS = 'SAMEORIGIN'
