Django Ckeditor Deployment

CKEditor is a WYSIWYG HTML editor that can fit a wide range of use cases, from Word-like documents with large toolbars to simple toolbars with a limited Django admin CKEditor integration. Provides a RichTextField , RichTextUploadingField , CKEditorWidget and CKEditorUploadingWidget utilizing CKEditor. I customize this editor like Microaoft Office.

Here are the steps:

pip install django-ckeditor

In models.py

description = RichTextField(blank=True, null=True)

Change field

from ckeditor.fields import RichTextField

In Settings.py add

INSTALLED_APPS = [

    'ckeditor',

]

In forms.py add

{% csrf_token %}

{{form.media}}

{{form.as_p}}

In templates add

 {{article.description|safe}}

After that run

python manage

python manage.py makemigrations

python manage.py migrate

python manage.py runserver

For image in style

max-width: 100%;height: auto !important;

For more options add in setting.py
