Im unsure if I can help with the email, but I can (kinda) guide you in the right direction..

open up include/staff/viewticket.inc.php

find this code...

<?=Format:($resp_row)?>replace it with this code...

<?php

$doc = new DOMDocument();

$doc->loadHTML(($resp_row));

echo $doc->saveHTML();

?>Now you have the CKEditor HTML output being parsed by PHP's DOMDocument(). There is probably a way to make this work system wide. +1 for who ever figures it out.

BTW, I had to add the and tags to the database entry myself, the editor did NOT enter the HTML into the database. I'm looking to figure this one out now.....

Ok php was stripping out the tags and not inserting them into the db.

in class.ticket.php

Find this code...

$sql= 'INSERT INTO '.TICKET_RESPONSE_TABLE.' SET created=NOW() '.

',ticket_id='.db_input($this->getId()).

',msg_id='.db_input($msgid).

',response='.db_input(Format:($response)).

',staff_id='.db_input($thisuser->getId()).

',staff_name='.db_input($thisuser->getName()).

',ip_address='.db_input($thisuser->getIP());

$resp_id=0;

replace the "response" line with...

',response='.db_input($response).

Booyah. I would be VERY careful about allowing this into your client front end...DomDocument parses whatever you (or your client) throws at it. : You have been warned. :

HI Teryakisan,

I do all changes given the above line below.

"The replace script can be reused later on down the page with each text area. Just replace CKEDITOR.replace( 'response') with whatever your textarea name is".

But A minor doubt is where we do changes with the place of CKEDITOR.replace( 'response') and where is the textarea name is defiened ?give me file name and path where the textarea name is defined.

Please help me its urgent dear.

dear?

Each textareas name is defined by name="whatever". Response is the name of the textarea for the given example. Apply the example to each textarea with its name.

Ckeditor issue.

Hi teryakisan ,

Do rply plzzzz

Its urgents

First, that code is nowhere to be found in class.ticket.php anyway. Second, if your page is returning HTML code instead of formatted text, then you do not have DomDocument doing its thing. Look here...

That code DOES NOT EXIST in class.ticket.php Furthermore, it DOES NOT go there. It goes in include/staff/viewticket.inc.php. It cannot possibly be any clearer.

I did everything in these steps and in http://osticket.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6865(http://osticket.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6865)

and the editor simply is not showing up.

I think what I am missing is "ckeditor=(response)?

I am not 100% sure what is supposed to go there.

Everyone is saying it is the name of the text area, but not sure how to find out what that is.

I have gotten it to work to show formatted text in viewticket. Now, how can I do it, so that the client will see the formatted text and NOT a bunch of HTML?

Ticket Views

I have successfully added CKEditor and I have moded osticket so that outgoing messages are keeping the formatting (font type, color, etc) when a client gets a message. My problem is that the tickets in the staff view look like this:

This is a test

Green Text that is really big

What files do I change and with what code to solve this problem?

Can you provide the details on what you did to make osticket keep all the formatting when sending ticket replies to customers?

How I got CKEditor Working (somewhat)

Step 1:

Download the full package of CKEditor

(http://ckeditor.com/download)

Step 2:

Create a directory inside your OSTicket directory and name it "ckeditor." In my case my OSTicked directory was called "support" but maybe yours is called "helpdesk."

Step 3:

Uncompress the CKEditor zip file.

Step 4:

Copy all of the contents of the CKEditor file (Not the folder called "ckeditor" but the contents of that folder) and place them in the "ckeditor" file you created on your site (you know, the one you created in the "OSTicket" directory.

Follow these directions from teryakisan with some corrections/additions:

This method applies to CKEditor 3.X only. (as far as I know)

in your include/staff/header.inc.php

Find this code...

PHP Code:

Directly beneath it add this code...

PHP Code:

Your src will be wherever you put your ckeditor folder.

Then in include/staff/viewticket.inc.php

Find this line of code...

PHP Code:

<?=$info?>

Directly below that add this code...

Now this is the place where I left teryakisan's instructions and went with ootweb1's code:

PHP Code:

CKEDITOR.replace( 'response' ,

filebrowserBrowseUrl : '/helpdesk/ckfinder/ckfinder.html',

filebrowserImageBrowseUrl : '/helpdesk/ckfinder/ckfinder.html?Type=Images',

filebrowserFlashBrowseUrl : '/helpdesk/ckfinder/ckfinder.html?Type=Flash',

filebrowserUploadUrl : '/helpdesk/ckfinder/core/connector/php/connector.php?command=QuickUpload&type=Files',

filebrowserImageUploadUrl : '/helpdesk/ckfinder/core/connector/php/connector.php?command=QuickUpload&type=Images',

filebrowserFlashUploadUrl : '/helpdesk/ckfinder/core/connector/php/connector.php?command=QuickUpload&type=Flash'

});

Note two things:

1. The textarea where you are making this last change is called "response" and you have just changed the script section for a response or reply message in OSTicket. Further along on the script are textarea for "note" and possibly other textarea headings. I just used "find" in Notepad (my editor) and plugged in the word "textarea" and then changed the ones I wanted. Just make sure that your title (in red here) "CKEDITOR.replace( 'whatever'" matches the title in the "

2. In this part of the changes (filebrowserBrowseUrl : '/helpdesk/ckfinder/ckfinder.html') I had to change the location to "filebrowserBrowseUrl : '/support/ckfinder/ckfinder.html' so that is matched the location of my file structure on my site. You will have to make sure all of the file paths on that part of the script match your setup to get it to work. I just changed it on my first text area modification and then copied the modified area to use further down the script. Paste it in and change textarea heading for the new area (see note #1 just above this one.)

I will try this soon. I got ckedit to work great, but it won't do the html output for me.

Internal Notes still not right

OK, I got the staff view for a reply on OSTicket looking good with this coding:

<?php

$doc = new DOMDocument();

$doc->loadHTML(($resp_row));

echo $doc->saveHTML();

?>

(Thanks to this thread :) )

The Internal Notes do not maintain their formatting. It's not a jumble of html code plus text. It's just text. It seems that something is stripping the code. Where would I look to stop that so that bold, underline, hyperlinks and everything works right?

I Quit

"Stick a fork in me I am done."

I installed ckeditor and got it working to send formatted (bold, underline, colored font, etc) messages to clients. The problem is that it royally screws up any canned messages (templates) to clients or staff. If I type HTML code into a template for a new ticket alert, for example, OSTicket strips it out. The explanations on this forum for dealing with this HTML problem are unclear and incomplete. (Trust me, I have spent two days searching and reading here and elsewhere on the net.)

As of right now, internal notes do not display correctly. I adapted some script and the codes are gone but the text does not display with special formatting in the staff ticket window.

I cannot figure out what to change to fix the problems. On top of that, I cannot remember what I have and have not changed in certain php files. Until someone who knows this better than I do figures this out I am not doing this mod. If someone else is up to the challenge, go for it!
