Walk through Using Ck Editor
Most of the longer content zones in the site support Rich Text, and the editing tool used is CK Editor.
CK Editor will allow for a high level of customisation of
text content for widgets that contain the editor. A good example of this is
“Content Bar (Full Width)”. Some basic commands are described below, however to view the extensive online user guides please click
Here- CKEditor 3.x User's Guide
Paste from Existing
Document
CK Editor will allow you to paste in content you have
already created from a text file or a word document via the Paste icons in the
top row of the ribbon. This will keep
the existing formatting you have applied in the previous document, for instance
in a word document if you have applied headings, lists, hyperlinks and other
general formatting – this should copy across into CK Editor.
Text Styling
The editor allows for normal text styling to be applied like
Font, Size, Bold, Underline, Italic, Colour, Background Colour and paragraphing
as per a normal text editing client like word or email clients.
Text Layout
The layout of the text can be managed in much the same way
as other rich text editing tools like Word or email clients. It allows for text
indentation, block quotes (indent & italic) and horizontal dividing lines.
Rich Text
CK Editor supports a large variety of rich text options and
for a full understanding please visit the link below and view the online
tutorials. The basic rich text components that you will likely want to
incorporate include;
- Links, emails and anchors
- Lists (bulleted or numbered)
- Tables of data
- Special Character insertion
CK Editor also supports useful tools like a spell checker, to proof
your work prior to publishing.
CK Editor Content Entry Zone Links
To create a link in CK Editor highlight the desired text and then click the link button in the ribbon (chain icon).
See the below link for a detailed guide on creating links, mailto’s and anchors within text, however the three
most used functions are often;
- Internal Site links – ensure “Link Type” is set to URL, and “Protocol” is set to Other. Then either paste
or type in the relative URL – for instance /contactus
- External Site Links – Ensure the “Link Type” is set to URL and the “Protocol” is set to http:// or
https://. Then either paste or type in the complete URL – for instance www.google.com
- Mailto – Ensure the “Link Type” is set to Email and then prepopulate the email’s recipient, subject and
body with the required information.
Note that for points 1 and 2 there is the option to open links in another window rather than the same window.
Click on the second tab “Target”, and set it to “New Window” for this to occur.
