[Plugin: CKEditor For WordPress] qTranslate, not working

Hi,

I also had the same problem with Ckeditor (Ver 3.6.2.4) and qTranslate (latest verdion: 2.5.28)

so i installed the latest DEV version of ckeditor and now everything works fine.

can you please update the next Version of ckeditor to work with qTranslate? (i need it for a multi-language Hebrew-English-Arabic Website) thanks!

thanks a lot!
יישר כוח!

I’m using CKEditor 3.6.2.5 and qTranslate 2.5.2.8. I’m getting a Javascript error: “hook is undefined”

This error occurs in the function qtrans_editorInit3(). Here’s an excerpt from the code where the problem is occuring:

wpOnload = function() {
    for(var i in tinyMCEPreInit.qtInit) {
      var tmp = tinyMCEPreInit.qtInit[i];
      tmp.id = 'qtrans_textarea_'+tmp.id;
      try { quicktags( tmp ); } catch(e){}
      jQuery('#ed_toolbar').hide();
    }
    // remove hook so tinymce doesn't load for content
    var hook = tinyMCEPreInit.mceInit['content']
    hook.elements='qtrans_textarea_content';	// NOTE: ERROR OCCURS ON THIS LINE
    delete tinyMCEPreInit.mceInit['content'];
    tinyMCEPreInit.mceInit['qtrans_textarea_content'] = hook;
    // fix html for tinymce
    if('html' != getUserSetting( 'editor' )) {
      var ta = document.getElementById('content');
      var texts = qtrans_split(ta.value);
      var content = '';
      content = qtrans_integrate('de', switchEditors.wpautop(texts['de']), content);
      content = qtrans_integrate('en', switchEditors.wpautop(texts['en']), content);
      content = qtrans_integrate('zh', switchEditors.wpautop(texts['zh']), content);
      ta.value = content;
    }
    if(typeof(wpOnload2)=='function') wpOnload2();
  }

One more thing: It’s rather odd but at first, CKEditor was loading just fine (though I was still getting the “hook” error mentioned above). But when I clicked the qTrans tab to switch to another language, the editor broke completely, and now — even when I switch to editing a new page — CKEditor doesn’t come up at all, and I still get the same “hook” error.

Yes, I tried both to no avail.

In an effort to troubleshoot further I managed to “hide” the error by changing this:

// remove hook so tinymce doesn't load for content
var hook = tinyMCEPreInit.mceInit['content']
hook.elements='qtrans_textarea_content';
delete tinyMCEPreInit.mceInit['content'];
tinyMCEPreInit.mceInit['qtrans_textarea_content'] = hook;

To this:

// remove hook so tinymce doesn't load for content
var hook = tinyMCEPreInit.mceInit['content']
if (hook) {
  hook.elements='qtrans_textarea_content';
  delete tinyMCEPreInit.mceInit['content'];
} else {
  hook = null;
}
tinyMCEPreInit.mceInit['qtrans_textarea_content'] = hook;

Indeed eliminated the error; but I still can’t use them together.

What seems to be happening is that qtranslate_textarea_content and the CKeditor div both get added at the same level in the Source. I’ll try and produce a screenshot at some point, because the resulting behavior is very strange:

1. At the top I have my Language tabs (courtesy qTranslate), and my Visual and HTML tabs.
2. Below that is the CKEditor, if I’m on the Visual tab, or the original ‘content’ textarea if I’m on the HTML tab.
3. Below THAT is the qtranslate_textarea_content textarea. (Lately its been putting a
   in there, but that doesn’t seem consistent.)
4. Clicking another language besides the default (English in my case) results in the CKEditor going away, but the English tab remains selected.
5. As long as WP thinks I’ve selected another language for my editing language, there’s nothing I can do to restore the CKEditor; reloading the page, or adding a new page, makes no difference. Only by clicking the “English” link on the left-side Admin Menu can I restore things to their original state.
6. Also, typing in the qtranslate_textarea_content textarea below the CKEditor box does nothing useful.
7. Clicking the HTML tab, by the way, displays the following in the standard ‘content’ textarea:
   <!--:en--><br /><!--:--><!--:de--><!--:--><!--:zh--><!--:-->

Note that I’m not looking at it now, I had to deactivate the CKEditor plugin and go back to TinyMCE; so I’m not guaranteeing 100% accuracy on anything I just said 😉

Still, I really hope this helps; I really think my client would be better off using CKEditor than TinyMCE!
