Personally, I despise CKEditor. Today I was trying to add an image and set some CSS classes on it, and it was an exercise in frustration. So, I figured out this quick fix to disable CKEditor. If you're comfortable with HTML and hate CKEditor, then I recommend doing the following:
Rename the folder /admin/view/javascript/ckeditor to something else. I use "-ckeditor" so that I can still remember what the folder is for, in case I want to restore its functionality. You'll probably want to add some CSS to make the textarea for descriptions bigger. You can do this in /admin/view/stylesheet/stylesheet.css -- I used this:
Code: Select all
#description1 {
width: 600px;
height: 300px;
font-family: monospace;
}
I haven't tested this thoroughly, but I haven't noticed any problems in the little bit I've using it this way. The HTML you enter in descriptions still comes through fine, and the image uploader still works. If anyone runs into problems doing this mod, let me know.
Let's hope CKEditor is replaced in 1.5.0!
