How to override the ckeditor configuration

[stuart]

I want to alter the ckeditor configuration, but in such a way that it won't be affected by upgrading CiviCRM.

When configuring the WYSIWYG editor, the CiviCRM help suggests:

If you are modifying config.js you should first have configured a Custom PHP Path under Global Settings > Directories, and place your modified version in the custom path.

I have configured a custom PHP Path (which I'm already using for other things successfully), and within the custom PHP directory I have mimicked the folder structure leading to the CKEditor configuration:

packages->ckeditor->config.js

But any amendments I make to my configuration file aren't shown in the CKEditor in CiviCRM (I'm doing a hard-refresh of the page etc.). Am I doing something wrong?

I don't think custom_php will work for this case.  After upgrade you will have to overwrite config.js file. I will update the help.

Thanks for the quick response. I'll try and set CiviCRM to use the default Drupal WYSIWYG editor instead, and if not, do what you suggest

Hi!

It seems you are right, and custom_php don't work for this case BUT then we should correct help info at civicrm/admin/setting/preferences/display?reset=1 , because here you can read:

NOTE: If you are modifying config.js you should first have configured a Custom PHP Path under Administer > System Settings > Directories, and place your modified version in the custom path.
