Django ckeditor 5 doesn't show toolbar

Using Django Forms & APIs
1

Hi guys,

I have a problem with django-ckeditor-5 because it doesn’t show me the toolbar in the field.

I setup the static files in the settings.py. Also added the widget to my form. The App is also added to the INSTALLED_APPS.

And the form.media is added in my HTML-Fiel of the form. I checked everything a lot of times and also with the documentation.

https://pypi.org/project/django-ckeditor-5/

Does anybody have an idea what the problem could be or how I can find out?

I am a bit new with Python and Django :wink:

Thanks a lot!!

Hi did you get a solution because I’m facing the same problem

Did you try to set explicitly custom configuration in your settings.py like here? GitHub - hvlads/django-ckeditor-5: Django CKEditor 5 integration.

Something like that:

  STATIC_URL = '/static/'
  MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
  MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media')

  customColorPalette = [
        {
            'color': 'hsl(4, 90%, 58%)',
            'label': 'Red'
        },
        {
            'color': 'hsl(340, 82%, 52%)',
            'label': 'Pink'
        },
        {
            'color': 'hsl(291, 64%, 42%)',
            'label': 'Purple'
        },
        {
            'color': 'hsl(262, 52%, 47%)',
            'label': 'Deep Purple'
        },
        {
            'color': 'hsl(231, 48%, 48%)',
            'label': 'Indigo'
        },
        {
            'color': 'hsl(207, 90%, 54%)',
            'label': 'Blue'
        },
    ]

  CKEDITOR_5_CUSTOM_CSS = 'path_to.css' # optional
  CKEDITOR_5_FILE_STORAGE = "path_to_storage.CustomStorage" # optional
  CKEDITOR_5_CONFIGS = {
