Source Code View

I’ve noticed this has gone as well. Really need this back!

Same here.

The RTE in EE6 is built on CKeditor 5 which dropped the view source option . This has a caused a lot of controversy in the CK editor world as you can see on this thread https://github.com/ckeditor/ckeditor5/issues/592 so its not an option for the RTE editor. More information here too https://expressionengine.com/forums/topic/252969/what-happened-to-the-view-code-button-in-the-rte

Bummer. Thanks for the info.

hey guys, i need the source view as well…. i just did a quick test by using the ckeditor online build tool and included General HTML Support and Source Editing (new) plugins, swapped the ckeditor.js in themes/ee/rte/scripts with the new build, enabled the view source button in RteHelper.php and it’s working, I can see view source now and make changes, save them etc… the only problem is your custom “filemanager” plugin is obviously not loading. Any chance I can get the source of your CKEditor build and the filemanager plugin so I can compile myself? cheers, M

Up, any solutions?

i made it to work by replacing the current rte add-on with rte add-on from 6.dev branch on github + some quick mods. It’s probably not ideal but works fine .inc access to filemanager.

1. I basically replaced the current addon with the one from 6.dev (ExpressionEngine/system/ee/ExpressionEngine/Addons/rte)

2. added the theme scripts from 6.dev branch (they go in different location) themes/ee/assets/javascript/compressed/fields/rte

3. updated the exp_rte_toolsets table by adding toolset_type column (as this new version support both ckeditor and redactor, see screenshot)

4. i use this inside a grid field, and wanted to use redactor so updated col_settings for the specific field to use toolset_id=4

at this point it worked but the filemanager was throwing errors (filemanager wasn’t initialized).

I did some digging and copied a piece of code from CkeditorService.php (under File Browser Config comment) to the RedactorService.php. This added some required js to initialise the filemanager.

That’s it. Hope this helps.

ps: i’ve used it without any issues so far.

Thanks de-construct, I followed the instructions to replace the current rte add-on with the rte add-on from the 6.dev branch on github + some quick mods. While not ideal, it works quite well.

The EE6 rich text editor may have deprecated the source code view feature as part of its simplification or redesign. This could be a move to streamline the editor and reduce potential issues that arise from direct HTML editing. toca life world
