CKEditor upgrade

Hi,
I need some features available for CKEditor 5 but only as commercial plugins for CKEditor 4.x. It seems CKEditor v5 will not be available for RT 5.x soon, so what would be the steps if I want to do it on my own?

Thanks

In your RT directory you can overlay the existing install:

mkdir -p /opt/rt5/local/static/RichText/
touch /opt/rt5/local/static/RichText/ckeditor.min.js

Thank you so much @knation. I’ll give it a try. Just a quick question: if it’s so simple, why isn’t included with RT 5? Doesn’t it have any impact on other RT functionalities?

I believe its not compatible with IE

@knation, I tried to do what you suggested but it didn’t work. I think I need to make more changes to other files such as config.js etc.

Yeah I’d assume the new version requires some different config options to be set

The CKEditor v5 API is very different from the v4 API. It is far from a drop-in replacement; more like a significant integration project.
