UPDATE ===================
Sven Hasselbach posted a quick fix so you can use the CKEditor files from within the NSF instead of your server’s hard drive! I was hoping someone would have a solution so take that into account when you watch the video in Part 1. Here is the fix.
END UPDATE ===============
Last Fall we needed to implement a better rich text editor for iPad users and found CKEditor 4 addressed the issues we had with the currently installed CKEditor and also met our needs.
This series of videos provides a look into the technique we used and the steps required to make it work.
Our application is based entirely on beans so it was a little tough to extract the technique into a little more non-bean-friendly XPage solution but I think I have given the topic a pretty good once over here. If you have questions, please post them here. Thanks and enjoy!
