####Installation

If building a new editor using the CKBuilder from http://ckeditor.com/, there is no need to follow numbers steps below. If adding the Word Count & Char Count plugin to an already established CKEditor, follow the numbered steps below.

1. Download the Word Count & Char Count plugin from http://ckeditor.com/addon/wordcount or https://github.com/w8tcha/CKEditor-WordCount-Plugin. This will download a folder named wordcount_version.zip or CKEditor-WordCount-Plugin-master.zip to your Downloads folder.
2. Download the Notification plugin from http://ckeditor.com/addon/notification. This will download a folder named notification_version.zip to your Downloads folder.
3. Extract the .zip folders for both the Word Count & Char Count and Notification plugin. After extraction, you should have a folder named wordcount and a folder named notification.
4. Move the wordcount folder to /web/server/root/ckeditor/plugins/. Move the notification folder to /web/server/root/ckeditor/plugins/.
5. Add the following line of text to the config.js file, which is located at /web/server/root/ckeditor/.

config.extraPlugins = 'wordcount,notification'; 

Below is an example of what your config.js file might look like after adding config.extraPlugins = 'wordcount,notification';

CKEDITOR.editorConfig = function( config ) {
  config.extraPlugins = 'wordcount,notification';
  config.toolbar [
  et cetera . . .
  ];
};

There now should be text in the bottom right-hand corner of your CKEditor which counts the number of Paragraphs and number of Words in your CKEditor.

To modify the behavior of the Word Count & Char Count text at the bottom right-hand corner of your CKEditor, add the following text to your config.js file located at /web/server/root/ckeditor/config.js.

config.wordcount = {

    // Whether or not you want to show the Paragraphs Count
    showParagraphs: true,

    // Whether or not you want to show the Word Count
    showWordCount: true,

    // Whether or not you want to show the Char Count
    showCharCount: false,

    // Whether or not you want to count Spaces as Chars
    countSpacesAsChars: false,

    // Whether or not to include Html chars in the Char Count
    countHTML: false,
    
    // Maximum allowed Word Count, -1 is default for unlimited
    maxWordCount: -1,

    // Maximum allowed Char Count, -1 is default for unlimited
    maxCharCount: -1,

    // How long to show the 'paste' warning, 0 is default for not auto-closing the notification
    pasteWarningDuration: 0,
    

    // Add filter to add or remove element before counting (see CKEDITOR.htmlParser.filter), Default value : null (no filter)
    filter: new CKEDITOR.htmlParser.filter({
        elements: {
            div: function( element ) {
                if(element.attributes.class == 'mediaembed') {
                    return false;
                }
            }
        }
    })
};

Note: If you plan to change some of the JavaScript, you probably will not want to use the CKBuilder, because this will place the JavaScript of the Word Count & Char Count plugin in the ckeditor.js file located at /web/server/root/ckeditor/ckeditor.js. The JavaScript for the Word Count & Char Count plugin in the ckeditor.js file is different than the JavaScript used when manually adding the Word Count & Char Count plugin. When manually adding the Word Count & Char Count plugin, the JavaScript will be in the plugin.js file located at
