Symfony2 CKEditor Bundle

Installation

1. Add TrsteelCkeditorBundle to your composer.json
2. Enable the bundle
3. Install bundle assets
4. Configure the bundle (optional)
5. Add the editor to a form
6. Configure data transformers

Step 1: Add TrsteelCkeditorBundle to your composer.json

{
    "require": {
        "Trsteel/ckeditor-bundle": "dev-master"
    }
}

and update your project dependencies:

php composer.phar update Trsteel/ckeditor-bundle

Step 2: Enable the bundle

<?php
// app/AppKernel.php

public function registerBundles()
{
    $bundles = array(
        // ...
        new Trsteel\CkeditorBundle\TrsteelCkeditorBundle(),
    );
}

Step 3: Install bundle assets

$ php ./app/console assets:install web --symlink

--symlink is optional

Step 4: Configure the bundle (optional)

For a full configuration dump use:

$ php ./app/console config:dump-reference TrsteelCkeditorBundle

An example configuration:

trsteel_ckeditor:
    class: Trsteel\CkeditorBundle\Form\Type\CkeditorType
    transformers: ['strip_js', 'strip_css', 'strip_comments']
    toolbar: ['document', 'clipboard', 'editing', '/', 'basicstyles', 'paragraph', 'links', '/', 'insert', 'styles', 'tools']
    toolbar_groups:
        document: ['Source','-','Save','-','Templates']
        clipboard: ['Cut','Copy','Paste','PasteText','PasteFromWord','-','Undo','Redo']
        editing: ['Find','Replace','-','SelectAll']
        basicstyles: ['Bold','Italic','Underline','Strike','Subscript','Superscript','-','RemoveFormat']
        paragraph: ['NumberedList','BulletedList','-','Outdent','Indent','-','JustifyLeft', 'JustifyCenter','JustifyRight','JustifyBlock']
        links: ['Link','Unlink','Anchor']
        insert: ['Image','Flash','Table','HorizontalRule']
        styles: ['Styles','Format']
        tools: ['Maximize', 'ShowBlocks']
    ui_color: '#000000'
    startup_outline_blocks: true
    width: 800 #Integer or %
    height: 300 #Integer or %
    language: 'en-au'
    filebrowser_upload_url:
        url: relative-url.php?type=file
    filebrowser_image_browse_url:
        route: route_name
        route_parameters:
            type: image

Or even overwrite the 'document' toolbar group in your application completely.

trsteel_ckeditor:
    class: Trsteel\CkeditorBundle\Form\Type\CkeditorType
    toolbar: ['document', 'clipboard', 'editing', '/', 'basicstyles', 'paragraph', 'links', '/', 'insert', 'styles', 'tools']
    toolbar_groups:
        document: ['Source']

You can create additional toolbar groups. Just create the group and specify the items. As you can see in the above config the 'document' toolbar group has been overwritten and only shows the 'Source' icon.

Step 5: Add the editor to a form

Example form:

<?php

$form = $this->createFormBuilder($post)
            ->add('title', 'text')
            ->add('content', 'ckeditor', array(
                'transformers'                 => array('strip_js', 'strip_css', 'strip_comments'),
                'toolbar'                      => array('document','basicstyles'),
                'toolbar_groups'               => array(
                    'document' => array('Source')
                ),
                'ui_color'                     => '#fff',
                'startup_outline_blocks'       => false,
                'width'                        => '100%',
                'height'                       => '320',
                'language'                     => 'en-au',
                'filebrowser_image_browse_url' => array(
                    'url' => 'relative-url.php?type=file',
                ),
                'filebrowser_image_browse_url' => array(
                    'route'            => 'route_name',
                    'route_parameters' => array(
                        'type' => 'image',
                    ),
                ),
            ))
            ->getForm()
;

Note: All parameters from config.yml can be overwritten in a form (excluding 'class').

Step 6: Configure data transformers

Data transformers will automatically update the html content when the form is processed.

This bundle comes with several built-in transformers.

strip_js: Strips all javascript from the posted data

strip_css: Strips all css from the posted data

strip_comments: Strips all comments from html eg.

If you do not want any transformers enabled you should disable them by:

1. Disable globally in the config:

trsteel_ckeditor:
    transformers: []

2. Disable them on a particular form:

<?php

$form = $this->createFormBuilder($post)
            ->add('title', 'text')
            ->add('content', 'ckeditor', array(
                'transformers' => array(),
            ))
            ->getForm()
;
