Flask-Admin and CKEditor WYSIWYG textarea integration. Basically, all you have to do: 1. Create new wtforms widget which will emit 'ckeditor' class 2. Make new wtforms field which will use this widget 3. Create new jinja2 template, which includes ckeditor javascript 4. Tell flask-admin to use new field and new template

Hi,
Thanks for sharing this code, I used it in one of my projects, the only problem I found is the following line on edit.html:
<script src="http://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/ckeditor/4.0.1/ckeditor.js"></script>
Since I am using https, the editor didn't show up, i fixed by using:
<script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/ckeditor/4.0.1/ckeditor.js"></script>
Hope you don't mind my comment, I really appreciate the fact that you shared this code!
