I saw that you can edit the templates that are available, and also the styles you can use.

Also the icons in the toolbar are customizable also.

I will quckly run through what you need to do to add a template to the ckeditor instance. It really is quite simple.

First thing to do is work out what you would like as a template.
Probably best to find this in a previous project or something, and customise it to suit a template.
Then take a screenshot and upload it to the directory. /ckeditor/plugins/templates/templates/images/

Then find the file that the templates are stored in, which would normally be located at /ckeditor/plugins/templates/templates/default.js

Then copy the code from the original item, and paste it in as follows, removing all line breaks in the html, so that it all sits on one line, and make sure
you dont use ‘ instead use ” where needed
add an entry in this style
{title:’Image and Title’,image:’screenshot.gif’,description:’Description Here.’,html:’<h3>html here</h3>’}
replacing the ‘Image and Title’ with the name of the template
replacing the ’screenshot.gif’ with the name of the screenshot that you put into the images subdirectory.
replacing the ‘<h3>html here</h3>’ with the html of the template.

Open the image below to see where to put it.

To add the styles to the editor from a css file add it like this, change the line config.contentsCss = ‘/css/fckstyles.css’; to resemble the path used. Also remember to use this in the front end of your site also.

CKEDITOR.editorConfig = function( config )
{
config.toolbar = ‘MyToolbar’;
config.baseHref = ‘http://www.mysite.com/’;
config.entities = false;
config.contentsCss = ‘/css/fckstyles.css’;
config.htmlEncodeOutput = false;
config.font_names =
‘Arial/Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;’ +
‘Times New Roman/Times New Roman, Times, serif;’ +
‘Verdana;’ +
‘Test;’

;
config.toolbar_MyToolbar =
[
['Source','-','Preview','Templates','Undo','Redo'],
['Cut','Copy','Paste','PasteText','PasteFromWord','-', 'SpellChecker', 'Scayt'],['Maximize', 'ShowBlocks'],
['-','Find','Replace','-','SelectAll','RemoveFormat'],['Link','Unlink','Anchor'],
['Image','Flash','Table','HorizontalRule','Smiley','SpecialChar','PageBreak'],

['Bold','Italic','Underline','Strike','-','Subscript','Superscript'],
['NumberedList','BulletedList','-','Outdent','Indent','Blockquote'],
['JustifyLeft','JustifyCenter','JustifyRight','JustifyBlock'],

‘/’,
['Styles','Format','Font','FontSize'],
['TextColor','BGColor']
];

};

then, open the browser and click the templates button to check that it is there.

Too easy hey?

You can use this for anything you like, email templates, full pages, snippets. Enjoy, and I hope I helped someone.

Just set up a snippet write the code that you want output, set the variables such as field name, and then the tab activator.

This speeds up the development of common tasks a lot.

I came across a post recently which outlined how easy it is to output weather with php and Google Weather API

So I thought I would share how to create an easy to use view helper for outputting basic google weather.
Simply set this up in your plugins directory, making sure that you have the prefix setup in your bootstrap.

<?php
class Ace_View_Helper_GoogleWeather extends Zend_View_Helper_Abstract
{
    public $view;
  
    public function __construct()
    {   }
   
    public function setView(Zend_View_Interface $view)
    {
        $this->view = $view;
    }
  
    public function googleWeather($location)
    {
    
$xml = simplexml_load_file('http://www.google.com/ig/api?weather=' . $location);
$information = $xml->xpath("/xml_api_reply/weather/forecast_information");
$current = $xml->xpath("/xml_api_reply/weather/current_conditions");
$forecast_list = $xml->xpath("/xml_api_reply/weather/forecast_conditions");

Then from your view script you can call it with this
<?= $this->GoogleWeather('Adelaide'); ?>


The solution

Add this code to the php code of the page that you don’t want cached. In my case I put it in the init() area of my controller as I use Zend Framework.

header("Cache-Control: no-cache");
header("Expires: -1");

It features a corporate look and feel with easy to use navigation, and beautiful ajax slides on the front page. Ajax popup transitions for the newsletter sign up, terms, privacy policy etc really helped to polish this site up quite nicely.

We wish Gary and Monika all the best for their business.
