Force ckeditor.js to load

[modifiedcontent]

Is there a way to force ckeditor.js to load? Maybe put something in the footer?

It seems to be hit or miss in my installation. Not sure why. It is causing problems with front-end editing and other things. I also got an ugly pop-up once that 'ckeditor.js failed to load'.

Good day!

1. I do not know what exactly is happening, just trying to move the topic forward.
2. Please provide more details. I understood that you got a ckeditor.js failed to load message in your browser console on some non-admin url of your site when trying to open a front-end editing popup. Is that right? Please provide more details/context/screenshots to make it easier to answer.
3. Seems to be PW unrelated problem. Did you check some ckeditor related answers? I know, it's close to "go google it", but that is how I would start.

Thanks for the response Ivan Gretsky

It could very well be unrelated to PW.

I don't necessarily get the 'ckeditor.js failed to load' pop-up when I try to use front-end editing. I think I get that every now and then when I click away from a page with any ckeditor; I have the impression ckeditor loads late/slow.

When I try to use front-end editing, by double-clicking on editable text, I sometimes get the toolbar, sometimes not. Usually I have to fiddle about with it a bit, click Cancel and try again, and then the toolbar finally shows up.

I think the front-end editing module inserts this:

<script src="/wire/modules/Jquery/JqueryUI/JqueryUI.js"></script>

But after a bunch of other javascript. Shouldn't jQueryUI come first?

I also see typeof jQuery.ui == 'undefined' just above the jqueryui.js insert. Does that mean it can't find it?

Is there a blunt way to force ckeditor to load, maybe by placing <script>ckeditor.replace('something')</script> in the footer?

There was a suggestion here in the forum recently that front-end editing works best when you are using the same version of jQuery in your template that PW uses in the admin back-end. So that is something to try.

@Robin S using the same Jquery version on the front-end and back-end worked for me. Thanks.

I'm seeing this error and the site doesn't use jQuery at all on the front-end. It does have caching enabled on some templates (the type of caching offered natively by ProcessWire, not ProCache). Do I have to conditionally load ckeditor's jQuery on the front-end when edit-access users log in?

Hi all, first post here but in case anyone else is experiencing this issue, I'd suggest checking if you are trying to use plain old http: instead of shiny yummy https:

While taking my first test site out for its first spin in the wild I noticed this message, then immediately after visiting this post realized I hadn't yet enforced https on the site.
As soon as I used https instead, the popups disappeared, and as soon as I switched back to http there they were again.

Naturally can't say for sure what anyone else is experiencing, but it surely worked for me.

Same issue here!

Installation run on xampp.
I think shortly after i updated from 3.0.98 to 3.0.123 it started with these "failed to load ckeditor.js: Page Not Found" alert.

What i recognized than was that the ckeditor.js in fact isn't in the requested directory under wire/modules/Inputfield/InputfieldCKEditor/ckeditor-4.10.1
How could that be?
What do i have to do?
Am i the only one whis these kind of errormessage?
