One Time Widget is a widget plugin for CKEditor which allows to add arbitrary HTML.

One Time Widget (CKEditor widget plugin)

This is an experimental and very simple plugin for CKEditor. It allows to add arbitrary HTML to your content which will be represented by an editor widget. Only elements which are marked using special CSS classes may be edited by the user.

It's another solution to the problem that you want to create complex layouts which could get damaged by users editing the content. It's like marking some elements as "contenteditable", but is more powerful and user friendly as it uses CKEditor's widget features.

Example:

<div class="onetimewidget">
  <div class="onetimewidget__full fancy-box">
     <p>May be edited by the user</p>
  </div>
  <div class="warning">
    <div class="onetimewidget__full">
      <p>May be edited by the user</p>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

onetimewidget is the widget's main class. onetimewidget__full is an element which can be edited by the user.

Installation

CKEDITOR.plugins.addExternal('onetimewidget', '/lib/onetimewidget/', 'plugin.js' );
CKEDITOR.replace(elementId, {
  extraPlugins: 'onetimewidget',
});

Ideas

• Add more restrictive classes, for example onetimewidget__basic which only allows basic formatting.

Issues

• The widget dialog is somewhat broken. It also could need some information about classes and possible buttons to insert classes.
