Predefined HTML/text for CK-Editor

[Matze]

Hi there,

ist it possible to predefine content like text or html snippet for ck editor? So if i start a new page with this template containing this ck-editor-field there is already pre-written some text/html in this field?

thanks

Here's a somewhat long discussion about default values. The take-away is that it is that it's not as needed as it seems, and that if you do need it, it can be implemented using hooks or a quick module. No core support for it that I know of.

You could use CKEditor Templates.

This would be a 2-Click Solution and you can even choose which block to insert:

I've used this in a project and worked well, though it's not so simple to set up, and the client can easily mess things up.

Well thanks a lot for your replies. I will have a look at all the CK template options!

@Matze I've used this handy module:

 to generate content for fields. It's intentionally not automatic, allowing you to specify what/how much dummy content per field. You could maybe make it so with a hook to look for empty CK-Editor textareas on page load?
