[Building Sakai] Problems with Kaltura CKeditor Plugin

[Matthew Jones]

Hi Beth, the plugin configuration for 2.9 kind of changed (half changed)
with neither Noah or myself having time to completely finish it (the easier
configuration part - SAK-22113). I knew this was something I'd wanted to
get into the release notes and forgot about. We wanted to make it so it
might be possible for a user could put a json file in the ${sakai.home} to
say where a optional plugin was located (and other changes to ckeditor),
and what it was called without having to significantly edit the ckeditor
configuration file  This resulted in a small addition to the
ckeditor.launch.js file near the bottom. This would also make it easier to
upgrade CKEditor by moving the plugins that were custom developed and
maintained by us out of the plugins directory.

The line that's creating "*kalturamovieplayer*" is in
https://source.sakaiproject.org/svn/reference/trunk/library/src/webapp/editor/ckeditor.launch.js

			 ckconfig.extraPlugins+="movieplayer,wordcount"; (kaltura is at the
beginning in this case)

And I guess it expects that if you have extraPlugins defined earlier that
either it's empty, or it has a trailing comma (as resourceSearch does).

One fix would be to add a comma after kaltura, that would be the easy fix.
The better fix would be to change the kaltura installation docs to put
kaltura plugin right into the ckextraplugins directory.

https://source.sakaiproject.org/svn/reference/trunk/library/src/webapp/editor/ckextraplugins/

Then add a new line to the bottom of the file.

		   CKEDITOR.plugins.addExternal('kaltura',basePath+'kaltura/', 'plugin.js');

And add kaltura to the end of that ckconfig.extraPlugins+= line instead of
at the top.

This shouldn't be hard to do those configuration, but just hasn't been
written yet. :( With this pattern you could even have kaltura anywhere
else in the file system (like in the kaltura webapp), not in the
"extraplugins" directory. Though that directory is free for all
plugins!
