Installation
If building a new editor using the CKBuilder from http://ckeditor.com/, there is no need to follow numbers steps below. If adding the Word Count & Char Count plugin to an already established CKEditor, follow the numbered steps below.
- Download the Word Count & Char Count plugin from http://ckeditor.com/addon/wordcount or https://github.com/w8tcha/CKEditor-WordCount-Plugin. This will download a folder named wordcount_version.zip or CKEditor-WordCount-Plugin-master.zip to your Downloads folder.
- Download the Notification plugin from http://ckeditor.com/addon/notification. This will download a folder named notification_version.zip to your Downloads folder.
- Extract the .zip folders for both the Word Count & Char Count and Notification plugin. After extraction, you should have a folder named wordcount and a folder named notification.
- Move the wordcount folder to /web/server/root/ckeditor/plugins/. Move the notification folder to /web/server/root/ckeditor/plugins/.
- Add the following line of text to the config.js file, which is located at /web/server/root/ckeditor/.
config.extraPlugins = 'wordcount,notification';
Below is an example of what your config.js file might look like after adding config.extraPlugins = 'wordcount,notification';
CKEDITOR.editorConfig = function( config ) { config.extraPlugins = 'wordcount,notification'; config.toolbar [ et cetera . . . ]; };
There now should be text in the bottom right-hand corner of your CKEditor which counts the number of Paragraphs and number of Words in your CKEditor.
To modify the behavior of the Word Count & Char Count text at the bottom right-hand corner of your CKEditor, add the following text to your config.js file located at /web/server/root/ckeditor/config.js.
config.wordcount = { // Whether or not you want to show the Paragraphs Count showParagraphs: true, // Whether or not you want to show the Word Count showWordCount: true, // Whether or not you want to show the Char Count showCharCount: false, // Whether or not you want to count Spaces as Chars countSpacesAsChars: false, // Whether or not to include Html chars in the Char Count countHTML: false, // Whether or not to include Line Breaks in the Char Count countLineBreaks: false, // Maximum allowed Word Count, -1 is default for unlimited maxWordCount: -1, // Maximum allowed Char Count, -1 is default for unlimited maxCharCount: -1, // Maximum allowed Paragraphs Count, -1 is default for unlimited maxParagraphs: -1, // How long to show the 'paste' warning, 0 is default for not auto-closing the notification pasteWarningDuration: 0, // Add filter to add or remove element before counting (see CKEDITOR.htmlParser.filter), Default value : null (no filter) filter: new CKEDITOR.htmlParser.filter({ elements: { div: function( element ) { if(element.attributes.class == 'mediaembed') { return false; } } } }) };
Note: If you plan to change some of the JavaScript, you probably will not want to use the CKBuilder, because this will place the JavaScript of the Word Count & Char Count plugin in the ckeditor.js file located at /web/server/root/ckeditor/ckeditor.js. The JavaScript for the Word Count & Char Count plugin in the ckeditor.js file is different than the JavaScript used when manually adding the Word Count & Char Count plugin. When manually adding the Word Count & Char Count plugin, the JavaScript will be in the plugin.js file located at
If you want to query the current wordcount you can do it via
// get the word count CKEDITOR.instances.editor1.wordCount.wordCount // get the char count CKEDITOR.instances.editor1.wordCount.charCount
