We were able to get the Doksoft plugin to work with CK Editor but since installation I`m been experiencing some frustrating behavior.

* When you load a content type the focus is at mid-page rather than the top of the page, so you have to scroll up all the time.
* It`s virtually impossible to do simple edits in the WYSIWYG view. You can`t remove paragraph breaks for example without going into the source view. A <p><br/></p> is inserted.
* The source view contains no line breaks so the code is all in one block making editing difficult.
* You can`t click on an image to edit it in WYSIWYG view. If you click on the image it vapors.
* You can`t click on a button to edit it in the WYSIWYG view, you have to go into source view.
* Text is indented in the WYSISYG view. I can`t find any thing that`s causing it.
• Often a <br /> tag is inserted at the end of the content and sometimes at the end of the first line. At the end of the copy a <p><br/></p> is inserted. You must go into the source to clean up the code. This is will be an issue when the site is handed to non-technical users.

I don`t want to get rid of the ability to easily add buttons so I`m hoping there is a solution.

We bought and installed the plugin to make editing easier but there there are lots of bugs, some outlined above.

First off is the urls to jquery in doksoft_boostrap_include/plugin.js they should start with "//" not "http://" to avoid problems serving the editor over an SSL connection: (b.config.doksoft_bootstrap_include_jquery){a("//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.1.min.js");a("//code.jquery.com/jquery-migrate-1.2.1.min.js")

Clicking on the 4/4/4 block when positioned after a paragraph tag causes the following code to be created:

<div class="col-xs-4">col-xs-4</div><div class="col-xs-4">col-xs-4</div><p><span style="display: none;"> </span><br /></p>

There are lots of problems adding rows where the plugin seems to remember/count how many rows have been previously added (despite being deleted either through the source or through the delete icon) and re-add all previous rows when re-adding.

Sorry I have not replied but I have read all your posts. Yes, the plugins bundle right now has some annoying problems. All time we try to improve it, as you can see the updated demo on our site. If some of your problems were fixed in it, let me know (support at doksoft dot com) and I send you the latest version (even if you have bought plugins more than license period, I send updates for this plugins for free).

I am sorry but maybe not all the bugs you have described can be solved: CKEditor (and in fact any manipulating tags in it) is very tricky thing and I hope the bundle helps you to solve some of your tasks. We hard working to add fixes and workarounds to all problems you have describe and haven't and of cause I will keep them in my mind.

Last two months there were many fixes and a released new totally rewritten Bootstrap Advanced Blocks plugin. Also Bootstrap Icons plugin was added to the bundle
Next month we plan to improve the stability of the bundle and this forum topic will be analized first of all to understand the weak places of the plugins.

Thank you for using Bootstap plugins and for you patience. I will inform in this topic about the progress.

Hello,

I will try and update this thread with all the problems we encounter to help improve the plugin. A few initial points:

- When you download the plugin set it might be useful to have the installation notes in a readme file included in the zip
- There is no user guide/help notes (that I could find) which may help when first using the plugin
- Understanding where a new row or block will be placed in the editor is not very clear i.e. will it replace a paragraph or insert after a paragraph, how can you (as a user) define where the new row/block will be inserted.
- Adding a new paragraph with the enter key on the keyboard seems to add a double paragraph return in the editor
- Inserting multiple 4/4/4 rows (as described above) has unusual behaviour where the plugin seems to keep track of the number of 4/4/4 rows it has already added and appends them
- We use ckeditor to enable users to edit blocks of content, not the whole HTML document so it would be good to have a configuration setting to allow us to turn off or reduce the padding that appears on either side of the editor when your plugin is enabled.
- As described in my previous post above using // instead of http:// for the jquery include files in plugin.js would be very useful as we serve data over an SSL connection

I will try to add to this list when we experience issues.

I will send an email now as it would be useful to use/test the latest version of your software.

Many thanks

Hello,

Thank you for emailing the most recent version of the plugin. I am still seeing many of the problems outlined above. Most critical is the tendency for the plugin to 'remember' how many divs were previously inserted. For example and you can use the demo to reproduce this:

Visit the bootstrap demo and delete all the current elements on the page using the red delete icon so we are starting with a clean editor.
Now click the 'insert bootstrap template' button, check the "wrap with row" box and then click on the 4/4/4 block.
Now repeat that process 4 times (first attempt for me did nothing).
You'll end up with:
- one row of three col-xs-4 divs [correct]
- one row of five col-xs-4 [wrong]
- one row of seven col-xs-4 [wrong]

See attached screenshot and please try to reproduce yourself. I'm using Firefox v 30.0. although I get the same results in Chrome.
