I had to call extraPlugins from within the CKEDITOR.replace() method call. Once I did that I was able to setup the plugin to use my Prototype-specific method of pushing the data. In case you or anybody else may be interested, here’s my plugin.js for Prototype.

CKEDITOR.plugins.add(‘ajaxsave’, { init: function(editor) { var pluginName = ‘ajaxsave’;

editor.addCommand( pluginName,
{
exec : function( editor )
{
new Ajax.Request(‘ajaxsave.php’,
{
method: “POST”,
parameters: { filename: ‘index.html’, editor: editor.getData() },
onFailure: function() { ThrowError(“Error: The server has returned an unknown error”); },
on0: function() { ThrowError(‘Error: The server is not responding. Please try again.’); },
onSuccess: function(transport) {

var resp = transport.responseText;

//Successful processing by ckprocess.php should return simply ‘OK’.
if(resp == “OK”) {
//This is a custom function I wrote to display messages. Nicer than alert()
ShowPageMessage(‘Changes have been saved successfully!’);
} else {
ShowPageMessage(resp,’10′);
}
}
});
},

canUndo : true
});

editor.ui.addButton(‘ajaxsave’,
{
label: ‘Save’,
command: pluginName,
className : ‘cke_button_save’
});
}

});

Thanks, I try to write my tutorials so they can be understood. Make sure that this section in your config.js file looks has ‘Ajaxsave’ in it:

config.toolbar_MyToolbar = [
['NewPage','Preview','Ajaxsave'],

and later in the file, you need to make sure that the editor is aware of the new button:

config.extraPlugins = ‘ajaxsave’;

Other than that, I would need to see your code to determine why it is not showing up.

HTH,

Excellent post. Very clear and seemingly simple. Except I can’t get the custom button to show up. I am using CKE 3.6.2 in Firefox 7. I know the docs are really, really poor but I would think I could at least get the icon to show up. Did you have any problems initializing the plugin?

Thanks again!

Hi, Everyone!

My name is Kyle Keiper, and I’ve been invited to write here on the Manz Web Designs blog. I’m a college student studying Web Design, and I’ve had several years practical experience in the field. I know about a number of web technologies, but by no means am I a master. If you have questions or improvements, please post them as comments!

I’m from north-eastern Ohio, and I got to know Bud through his love of music. We really hit it off, and found out that we both are very interested in web site design as well as programming.

In the past, I’ve enjoyed writing Java applications in my spare time, but recently, I’ve found that I enjoy PHP applications just as much. I really enjoy the scripting when it comes to websites because it makes you feel good when you can get something to be useful.

My most recent project has been working on a PHP Class to simplify a bunch of common MySQL utilities. I realize that I could have just gone out there and grabbed a library for it, but I wanted to learn more about PHP classes, so that’s been my active project recently. Currently, there are 8 functions in the class, ranging from creating the connection with the database to retrieving and formatting data quickly to executing from a file! It’s been a fun learning experience, and I am very open to suggestions for it.
