HowTo: Upgrading Redactor Wysiwyg

Asset Overrides

In order to replace the bundled version of redactor (Redactor 1) you must override several files with versions downloaded with your purchase of Redactor II.

Controller Overrides

Redactor II also expects a slightly different JSON syntax for the filemanager/imagemanager plugins, so it is necessary to override the format returned in Occams::Admin::Cms::FilesController.

A full example of this controller (as of 1.12.9) can be found here: https://gist.github.com/mattmueller/0b933bf64b7bc1d419cc369ea48a1d11

The important changes take place between lines 14 and 28...namely:

• adding the id attribute
• switching the image key to url for image requests
• switching the link key to url for file requests

This controller can be replaced by placing it at app/controllers/occams/admin/cms/files_controller.rb.

Further customization

You can further customize the toolbar, options, etc. by overriding window.CMS.wysiwyg in custom.js or elsewhere.
