CKEditor 实例已经存在

小开

Perhaps this will help you out - I've done something similar using jquery, except I'm loading up an unknown number of ckeditor objects. It took my a while to stumble onto this - it's not clear in the documentation.

function loadEditors() {
var $editors = $("textarea.ckeditor");
if ($editors.length) {
$editors.each(function() {
var editorID = $(this).attr("id");
var instance = CKEDITOR.instances[editorID];
if (instance) { instance.destroy(true); }
CKEDITOR.replace(editorID);
});
}
}

And here is what I run to get the content from the editors:

    var $editors = $("textarea.ckeditor");
if ($editors.length) {
$editors.each(function() {
var instance = CKEDITOR.instances[$(this).attr("id")];
if (instance) { $(this).val(instance.getData()); }
});
}

UPDATE: I've changed my answer to use the correct method - which is .destroy(). .remove() is meant to be internal, and was improperly documented at one point.

var e= CKEDITOR.instances['sample'];
e.destroy();
e= null;

小开

function loadEditor(id)
{
var instance = CKEDITOR.instances[id];
if(instance)
{
CKEDITOR.remove(instance);
}
CKEDITOR.replace(id);
}

小开

This is the simplest (and only) solution that worked for me:

if(CKEDITOR.instances[editorName])
delete CKEDITOR.instances[editorName];
CKEDITOR.replace(editorName);

Deleting this entry in the array prevents this form safety check from destroying your application.

destroy() and remove() did not work for me.

I had this problem too, but I solved it in a much simpler way...

I was using the class "ckeditor" in my jQuery script as the selector for which textareas I wanted use for CKEditor. The default ckeditor JS script also uses this class to identify which textareas to use for CKEditor.

This meant there is a conflict between my jQuery script and the default ckeditor script.

I simply changed the class of the textarea and my jQuery script to 'do_ckeditor'(you could use anything except "ckeditor") and it worked.

Indeed, removing the ".ckeditor" class from your code solves the issue. Most of us followed the jQuery integration example from the ckeditor's documentation:

$('.jquery_ckeditor')
.ckeditor( function() { /* callback code */ }, { skin : 'office2003' } );

and thought "... maybe I can just get rid or the '.jquery_' part".

I've been wasting my time tweaking the callback function (because the {skin:'office2003'} actually worked), while the problem was coming from elsewhere.

I think the documentation should mention that the use of "ckeditor" as a class name is not recommended, because it is a reserved keyword.

Cheers.

I had the same problem where I was receiving a null reference exception and the word "null" would be displayed in the editor. I tried a handful of solutions, including upgrading the editor to 3.4.1 to no avail.

I ended up having to edit the source. At about line 416 to 426 in _source\plugins\wysiwygarea\plugin.js, there's a snippet like this:

iframe = CKEDITOR.dom.element.createFromHtml( '&lt;iframe' + ... + '></iframe>' );

In FF at least, the iframe isn't completely instantiated by the time it's needed. I surrounded the rest of the function after that line with a setTimeout function:

iframe = CKEDITOR.dom.element.createFromHtml( '<iframe' + ... + '></iframe>' );
setTimeout(function()
{
// Running inside of Firefox chrome the load event doesn't bubble like in a normal page (#5689)
...
}, 1000);


};


// The script that launches the bootstrap logic on 'domReady', so the document
...

The text renders consistently now in the modal dialogs.

I've had similar issue where we were making several instances of CKeditor for the content loaded via ajax.

CKEDITOR.remove()

Kept the DOM in the memory and didn't remove all the bindings.

CKEDITOR.instance[instance_id].destroy()

Gave the error i.contentWindow error whenever I create new instance with new data from ajax. But this was only until I figured out that I was destroying the instance after clearing the DOM.

Use destroy() while the instance & it's DOM is present on the page, then it works perfectly fine.

小开

I learned that

delete CKEDITOR.instances[editorName];

by itself, actually removed the instance. ALL other methods i have read and seen, including what was found here at stackoverflow from its users, did not work for me.

In my situation, im using an ajax call to pull a copy of the content wrapped around the and 's. The problem happens to be because i am using a jQuery .live event to bind a "Edit this document" link and then applying the ckeditor instance after success of the ajax load. This means, that when i click another link a link with another .live event, i must use the delete CKEDITOR.instances[editorName] as part of my task of clearing the content window (holding the form), then re-fetching content held in the database or other resource.

小开

For this to work you need to pass boolean parameter true when destroying instance:

    var editor = CKEDITOR.instances[name];
if (editor) { editor.destroy(true); }
CKEDITOR.replace(name);

小开

I hade the same problem with a jQuery Dialog.

Why destroy the instance if you just want to remove previous data ?

function clearEditor(id)
{
var instance = CKEDITOR.instances[id];
if(instance)
{
instance.setData( '' );
}
}

小开

I chose to rename all instances instead of destroy/replace - since sometimes the AJAX loaded instance doesn't really replace the one on the core of the page... keeps more in RAM, but less conflict this way.

    if (CKEDITOR && CKEDITOR.instances) {
for (var oldName in CKEDITOR.instances) {
var newName = "ajax"+oldName;
CKEDITOR.instances[newName] = CKEDITOR.instances[oldName];
CKEDITOR.instances[newName].name = newName;
delete CKEDITOR.instances[oldName];
}
}

小开

For ajax requests,

 for(k in CKEDITOR.instances){
var instance = CKEDITOR.instances[k];
instance.destroy()
}
CKEDITOR.replaceAll();

this snipped removes all instances from document. Then creates new instances.

To support dynamic (Ajax) loading of forms (without page refreshes between) which contain textareas with the same (same form is called again) or different ID's (previously unloaded form) and convert them to CKEditor elements I did the following (using the JQuery adapter):

After the page has finished every Ajax call that delivers a textarea to be converted, I make a call to the following function:

setupCKeditor()

This looks like this (it assumes your textareas to be converted to RTE's have class="yourCKClass"):

    /* Turns textAreas into TinyMCE Rich Text Editors where
* class: tinymce applied to textarea.
*/
function setupCKeditor(){


// define editor configuration
var config = {skin : 'kama'};


// Remove and recreate any existing CKEditor instances
var count = 0;
if (CKEDITOR.instances !== 'undefined') {
for(var i in CKEDITOR.instances) {


var oEditor   = CKEDITOR.instances[i];
var editorName = oEditor.name;


// Get the editor data.
var data = $('#'+editorName).val();


// Check if current instance in loop is the same as the textarea on current page
if ($('textarea.yourCKClass').attr('id') == editorName) {
if(CKEDITOR.instances[editorName]) {


// delete and recreate the editor
delete CKEDITOR.instances[editorName];
$('#'+editorName).ckeditor(function() { },config);
count++;


}
}




}
}


// If no editor's exist in the DOM, create any that are needed.
if (count == 0){


$('textarea.yourCKClass').each( function(index) {


var editorName = $(this).attr('id');
$('#'+editorName).ckeditor(function() { $('#'+editorName).val(data); },config);


});


}




}

I should mention that the line:

$('#'+editorName).ckeditor(function() { $('#'+editorName).val(data); },config);

could (and should) be simply:

$('#'+editorName).ckeditor(function() { },config);

however I found that the editor would often show the correct content for a second after loading and them empty the editor of the desired content. So that line with the callback code forces the CKEditor content to be the same as the originating textarea content. Causes a flicker when used. If you can avoid using it, do so..

小开

CKEDITOR.instances = new Array();

I am using this before my calls to create an instance (ones per page load). Not sure how this affects memory handling and what not. This would only work if you wanted to replace all of the instances on a page.

小开

The i.contentWindow is null error seems to occur when calling destroy on an editor instance that was tied to a textarea no longer in the DOM.

CKEDITORY.destroy takes a parameter noUpdate.

The APIdoc states:

If the instance is replacing a DOM element, this parameter indicates whether or not to update the element with the instance contents.

So, to avoid the error, either call destroy before removing the textarea element from the DOM, or call destory(true) to avoid trying to update the non-existent DOM element.

if (CKEDITOR.instances['textarea_name']) {
CKEDITOR.instances['textarea_name'].destroy(true);
}

(using version 3.6.2 with jQuery adapter)

I had exactly the same problem like jackboberg. I was using dynamic form loading into jquery dialogs then attaching various widgets (datepickers, ckeditors etc...). And I tried all solutions noted above, none of them worked for me.

For some reason ckeditor only attached the first time I loaded form, the second time I got exactly the same error message jackboberg did.

I've analyzed my code and discovered that if you attach ckeditor in "mid-air" that is while form content is still not placed into dialog, ckeditor won't properly attach its bindings. That is since ckeditor is attached in "mid-air", second time you attach it in "mid-air"... poof ... an error is thrown since the first instance was not properly removed from DOM.

This was my code that ptoduced the error:

var $content = $(r.content); // jQuery can create DOM nodes from html text gotten from <xhr response> - so called "mid-air" DOM creation
$('.rte-field',$content).ckeditor(function(){});
$content.dialog();

This is the fix that worked:

var $content = $(r.content).dialog(); // first create dialog
$('.rte-field',$content).ckeditor(function(){}); // then attach ckeditor widget

小开

I ran into this exact same thing and the problem was that the wordcount plugin was taking too long to initialize. 30+ seconds. The user would click into the view displaying the ckeditor, then cancel, thereby ajax-loading a new page into the dom. The plugin was complaining because the iframe or whatever contentWindow is pointing to was no longer visible by the time it was ready to add itself to the contentWindow. You can verify this by clicking into your view and then waiting for the Word Count to appear in the bottom right of the editor. If you cancel now, you won't have a problem. If you don't wait for it, you'll get the i.contentWindow is null error. To fix it, just scrap the plugin:

if (CKEDITOR.instances['textarea_name'])
{
CKEDITOR.instances['textarea_name'].destroy();
}
CKEDITOR.replace('textarea_name', { removePlugins: "wordcount" } );

If you need a word counter, register for the paste and keyup events on the editor with a function that counts the words.

小开

I am in the situation where I have to controls that spawn dialogs, each of them need to have a ckeditor embedded inside these dialogs. And it just so happens the text areas share the same id. (normally this is very bad practice, but I have 2 jqGrids, one of assigned items and another of unassigned items.) They share almost identical configuration. Thus, I am using common code to configure both.

So, when I load a dialog, for adding rows, or for editing them, from either jqGrid; I must remove all instances of CKEDITOR in all textareas.

$('textarea').each(function()
{
try
{
if(CKEDITOR.instances[$(this)[0].id] != null)
{
CKEDITOR.instances[$(this)[0].id].destroy();
}
}
catch(e)
{


}
});

This will loop over all textareas, and if there is a CKEDITOR instance, then destroy it.

Alternatively if you use pure jQuery:

$('textarea').each(function()
{
try
{
$(this).ckeditorGet().destroy();
}
catch(e)
{


}
});

小开

I've prepared my own solution based on all above codes.

      $("textarea.ckeditor")
.each(function () {


var editorId = $(this).attr("id");


try {
var instance = CKEDITOR.instances[editorId];
if (instance) { instance.destroy(true); }


}
catch(e) {}
finally {
CKEDITOR.replace(editorId);
}
});

It works perfectly for me.

Sometimes after AJAX request there is wrong DOM structure. For instace:

<div id="result">
<div id="result>
//CONTENT
</div>
</div>

This will cause issue as well, and ckEditor will not work. So make sure that you have correct DOM structure.

For those using the jquery "adapter" and having trouble (as I was), as super hackish yet working solution is to do something like this:

// content editor plugin
(function($){
$.fn.contentEditor = function( params ) {
var xParams = $.extend({}, $.fn.contentEditor.defaultParams, params);
return this.each( function() {
var $editor = $(this);
var $params = $.extend({}, xParams, $editor.data());


// if identifier is set, detect type based on identifier in $editor
if( $params.identifier.type ) {
$params.type = $editor.find($params.identifier.type).val();
}


$editor.data('type', $params.type);


// edit functionality
editButton = $('<button>Edit Content</button>').on('click',function(){
// content container
var $cc = $('#' + $editor.data('type'));


// editor window
var $ew = $('<form class="editorWindow" />');
$ew.appendTo('body');


// editor content
$ec = $('<textarea name="editorContent" />').val($cc.html());
$ec.appendTo($ew);
$ec.ckeditor();




//$ec.ckeditorGet().setMode('source');




$ew.dialog({
"autoOpen": true,
"modal": true,
"draggable": false,
"resizable": false,
"width": 850,
"height": 'auto',
"title": "Content Editor",
"buttons": {
'Save': function() {
$cc.html( $ec.val() );
$ec.ckeditorGet().destroy();
$ew.remove();
},
'Cancel / Close': function() {


$ec.ckeditorGet().destroy();
$ew.remove();
}
},
'close': function() {
$ec.ckeditorGet().destroy();
},
'open': function() {
$ew.find('a.cke_button_source').click();


setTimeout(function(){
$ew.find('a.cke_button_source.cke_on').click();
}, 500);
}
});


return false;
});


editButton.appendTo( $editor );


});
}


// set default option values
$.fn.contentEditor.defaultParams = {
'identifier': {
'type': 'input[name="type"]'
}
};


})(jQuery);


$(function(){


$('form.contentEditor').contentEditor();


});

The key point being this part:

                'open': function() {
$ew.find('a.cke_button_source').click();


setTimeout(function(){
$ew.find('a.cke_button_source.cke_on').click();
}, 500);
}

This fixes the problem with the editor text not being visible the next time you open the dialog. I realise this is very hackish, but considering that most of these are going to be used for admin tools, I don't think that's as big a concern as it normally would be.. and this works, so hopefully it will save someone some time ;)

i had the same problem with instances, i was looking everywhere and finally this implementation works for me:




//set my instance id on a variable


myinstance = CKEDITOR.instances['info'];


//check if my instance already exist


if (myinstance) {
CKEDITOR.remove(info)
}


//call ckeditor again


$('#info').ckeditor({
toolbar: 'Basic',
entities: false,
basicEntities: false
});

This is the fully working code for jquery .load() api and ckeditor, in my case I am loading a page with ckeditor into div with some jquery effects. I hope it will help you.

 $(function() {
runEffect = function(fileload,lessonid,act) {
var selectedEffect = 'drop';
var options = {};
$( "#effect" ).effect( selectedEffect, options, 200, callback(fileload,lessonid,act) );
};
function callback(fileload,lessonid,act) {
setTimeout(function() {//load the page in effect div
$( "#effect" ).load(fileload,{lessonid:lessonid,act:act});
$("#effect").show( "drop",
{direction: "right"}, 200 );
$("#effect").ajaxComplete(function(event, XMLHttpRequest, ajaxOptions) {
loadCKeditor(); //call the function after loading page
});
}, 100 );
};


function loadCKeditor()
{//you need to destroy  the instance if already exist
if (CKEDITOR.instances['introduction'])
{
CKEDITOR.instances['introduction'].destroy();
}
CKEDITOR.replace('introduction').getSelection().getSelectedText();
}
});


===================== button for call the function ================================


<input type="button" name="button" id="button" onclick="runEffect('lesson.php','','add')" >

Its pretty simple. In my case, I ran the below jquery method that will destroy ckeditor instances during a page load. This did the trick and resolved the issue -

JQuery method -

function resetCkEditorsOnLoad(){


for(var i in CKEDITOR.instances) {
editor = CKEDITOR.instances[i];
editor.destroy();
editor = null;
}
}


$(function() {


$(".form-button").button();
$(".button").button();


resetCkEditorsOnLoad(); // CALLING THE METHOD DURING THE PAGE LOAD


.... blah.. blah.. blah.... // REST OF YOUR BUSINESS LOGIC GOES HERE


});

That's it. I hope it helps you.

Cheers, Sirish.

You can remove any ckeditor instance by remove method of ckeditor. Instance will be id or name of the textarea.

if (CKEDITOR.instances[instance_name]) {
CKEDITOR.remove(CKEDITOR.instances[instance_name]);
}

This is what worked for me:

for(name in CKEDITOR.instances)
{
CKEDITOR.instances[name].destroy()

remove class="ckeditor" , it might have triggered ckeditor initialization

小开

you don't need to destroy the object CKeditor, you need remove() :

Change this :

CKEDITOR.instances['textarea_name'].destroy();

for that :

CKEDITOR.remove(CKEDITOR.instances['textarea_name']);

This functions works for me in CKEditor version 4.4.5, it does not have any memory leaks

 function CKEditor_Render(CkEditor_id) {
var instance = CKEDITOR.instances[CkEditor_id];
if (CKEDITOR.instances.instance) {
CKEDITOR.instances.instance.destroy();
}
CKEDITOR.replace(CkEditor_id);
}

// call this function as below

var id = 'ckeditor'; // Id of your textarea


CKEditor_Render(id);

CKeditor 4.2.1

There is a lot of answers here but for me I needed something more (bit dirty too so if anyone can improve please do). For me MODALs where my issue.

I was rendering the CKEditor in a modal, using Foundation. Ideally I would have destoryed the editor upon closing, however I didn't want to mess with Foundation.

I called delete, I tried remove and another method but this was what I finally settled with.

I was using textarea's to populate not DIVs.

My Solution

//hard code the DIV removal (due to duplication of CKeditors on page however they didn't work)


$("#cke_myckeditorname").remove();




if (CKEDITOR.instances['myckeditorname']) {
delete CKEDITOR.instances['myckeditorname'];
CKEDITOR.replace('myckeditorname', GetCKEditorSettings());
} else {
CKEDITOR.replace('myckeditorname', GetCKEditorSettings());
}

this was my method to return my specific formatting, which you might not want.

    function GetCKEditorSettings()
{
return {
linkShowAdvancedTab: false,
linkShowTargetTab: false,
removePlugins: 'elementspath,magicline',
extraAllowedContent: 'hr blockquote div',
fontSize_sizes: 'small/8px;normal/12px;large/16px;larger/24px;huge/36px;',
toolbar: [
['FontSize'],
['Bold', 'Italic', 'Underline', '-', 'NumberedList', 'BulletedList', '-', 'Link', 'Unlink'],
['Smiley']
]
};
}

If you know the name of the editor then it is pretty simple to do this..

For example if the name of the editor is editor1 (this is the id of div or textarea) then you simply check like this

if(CKEDITOR.instances['editor1']){
// Instance present
}else{
// Instance not present
}

If you want to get the number of initialized editor's then do like the below

for(let inst of CKEDITOR.instances){
// inst is an Obj of editor instance
// inst.name will give the name of the editor instance
}
