ckeditor installing issue

Using Django Templates & Frontend
1

Hello, I am trying to integrate CKeditor in my blog application.

models.py

from django.urls import reverse
from ckeditor.fields import RichTextField

body = RichTextField(blank= True, null = True)

settings.py

INSTALLED_APPS = [
 'ckeditor',
 'ckeditor_uploader',

]

STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATIC_ROOT = '/home/developer/Projects/Giyu_Tomioka/blog/static'

MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
MEDIA_ROOT = '/home/developer/Projects/Giyu_Tomioka/blog/media'
CKEDITOR_UPLOAD_PATH = "uploads/"

when I migrate I get this error, I am unable to understand why.

Traceback (most recent call last):

It looks like you’re trying to use a seriously old and obsolete package.

The package django.core.urlresolvers was deprecated in Django 1.10 and removed in Django 2.0.

You didn’t mention which version of Django you’re using, but you should find a more modern and current method for integrating ckeditor within Django.

I am using django 3.2.
It’s only when I add CKeditor into django I get this error

4

I just now update to django 4.0.2 still I am getting the same issue

I think you misunderstood my response. I wasn’t commenting about the version of Django you were using, but whatever package you selected to try and integrate CKeditor into Django.

You either need to:

  • Fix the CKeditor package you are using to work with whatever version of Django you want to use.
  • Find a different CKeditor package, one that works with your version of Django
  • Integrate CKeditor directly yourself without using a third-party package.

Thank You @KenWhitesell it worked I reinstalled ckeditort. I view the package /.local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/ckeditor/widgets.py and found that it was requesting the package.

'django.core.urlresolvers'

Does this setting stay the same during deployment?

9

I think yes: it stays the same

10

On AWS what do be a good way to store the uploaded images? for production

That really is a different topic, potentially encountering a number of different issues. You may want to open up a new discussion topic here for that. (People seeing the “ckeditor installing issue” title might not browse further to see that the topic has actually changed.)
