CKEditor is the new version of famous FCKeditor. In this artical, I note the way we use CKEditor with django-1.1

Assumes that you have python and django-1.1 installed in your system. There're 2 steps that you should follow

1. Download ckeditor from http://ckeditor.com/
2. Download django-ck from http://code.google.com/p/django-ck/downloads/list

Then, take a look at wiki page at http://code.google.com/p/django-ck/w/list

All done, extract the ckeditor and copy it into your media folder. This step related to

• Serve the static file in django http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/static-files/. Remember that you must avoid the url name /media resembling to admin media prefix.

Make some changes on settings.py, create CKEDITOR_PATH as exact URL to the ckeditor.js. Open ck/fields.py, set CKeditor.BasePath = "%s/js/ckeditor/";  Don't forget to add 'ck' to your installed apps in settings.py

That okies, all you need is follow the guide in wiki and make admin works.
