Why the switch to CKEditor?
● We don’t have to fully maintain it our self
● Superb browser support
● Complying with the latest web accessibility
standards
● Inline editing features
● Advanced Content Filter

4. 4
Big changes
● Presets in YAML
● No automatic migration of existing configs
● <p> are now saved in database!
● No <typolink> anymore

5. 5
Why YAML?
● CKEditor uses plain javascript for
configuration
● typoscript for BE config is confusing for
newcomers
● A new structure (new start)
separate “processing” and Editor-related configuration
● Allows options to be extend
but no conditions or unsetting values

6. 6
Presets
● Defines editor appearance
● Defines what tags and styles are
● Defines what plugin’s to load
● Defines database processing `RTE.proc`

Use pageTS to set preset
RTE {
config {
tt_content {
bodytext {
types {
textmedia.preset = minimal
my_ce.preset = full
}
}
}
[table].[field].preset = something
}
}

20. 20
Use TCA to set preset
'content' => [
'label' => 'LLL:EXT:lang/Res...eneral.xlf:LGL.text',
'config' => [
'type' => 'text',
'cols' => 48,
'rows' => 5,
'enableRichtext' => true,
'richtextConfiguration' => 'minimal',
],

Advanced Content Filter
● Only tags/classes/styles that are configured are
kept
● Filters content during editing and paste
● Enabled by default
● Makes `processing` config most of the times
obsolete “RTE.proc”
