how to reinstall a module (CKeditor)

[wilsea]

I'm having problems with CK editor on my hosted site - works fine on localhost. (on the hosted site the field is only editable the first time the page containing it is edited - after that the field appears empty and is greyed out.) 

My first thought was that some of the CKedit module files might have been mangled while being uploaded to the site, so I re-uploaded the module to the site, with no change.  So I tried uninstalling the module, thinking that a reinstall might do the trick, but a "check for new modules" no longer detects the module. 

Any suggestions anyone? The most pressing reason for switching to CKeditor was for quick support for tables. I've tried to add tables to tinyMCE, following instructions from here , but with little joy so far (on localhost) so feeling like a total klutz. Must be missing something obvious.

Hello fellow Aussie,

I'd probably trash the directory on the server and reinstall it: 

If you're running 2.4 install it through the Modules tab > New > enter InputfieldCKEditor where it says ModuleClassName

If you're sub-2.4 get hold of the ModulesManager (which needs JqueryDataTables installed first) and install it that way.

Wow - a solution in 12 minutes!

Thanks Marty - reinstalling the module using the New option on 2.4 worked like a charm and was less work than trashing the directory on the server.

Nice site(s) too!
