Fail to integrate CKeditor in rails_admin gem (use gem rich)

I follow the link GitHub gem rich to install CKeditor to rails_admin but I get the error: Unsupported field datatype: rich_editor

My model 

edit do
        field :title
        field :description, :rich_editor do
          config({
            :insert_many => true
          })
        end
        field :autho
        field :book_type
      end

How can I fix this error? Or that's an issue?

EDIT: I tried it, and it worked

field :content, :text do
      ckeditor do true end
end

I couldn't get the Rich gem to work with a Rails 4 project using Rails admin, so I decided to use the standard CK Editor Gem which is the recommended course of action by the authors. It took all of 5 minutes to get it working following this:

https://github.com/sferik/rails_admin/wiki/CKEditor

Then I configured my CK_Editor to use a small subset of the available functionality.

After adding the CK_Editor gem and configuring my rails admin initializer, I created a new javascript file in my project at:

/app/assets/javascripts/ckeditor/config.js

with the following contents:

CKEDITOR.config.toolbar = [
{ name: 'basicstyles', groups: [ 'basicstyles', 'cleanup' ],
    items: [ 'Bold', 'Italic', 'Underline', 'Strike', '-', 'RemoveFormat' ] },
{ name: 'paragraph', groups: [ 'list', 'indent', 'blocks', 'align', 'bidi' ],
    items: [ 'NumberedList', 'BulletedList', '-', 'Outdent', 'Indent', '-', 'Blockquote',
         'JustifyLeft', 'JustifyCenter', 'JustifyRight', 'JustifyBlock' ] },
{ name: 'links', items: [ 'Link', 'Unlink' ] },

];

Remember to restart your Rails server!

I have the same issue. I think it is an issue in rails_admin or in rich. I have successfully integrate these two together in past (but with old versions of both).

I have created github issues for this in rich (https://github.com/bastiaanterhorst/rich/issues/80) and rails_admin (https://github.com/sferik/rails_admin/issues/1585) repos.
