EOL

CKEditor 4 is now end-of-life software. Security patches are only released for CKEditor 4 LTS, which is available exclusively in the Extended Support Model Package.

Overview

CKEditor 4 is built from plugins, just like XOOPSCube is built from modules, which makes it easy to create a custom build tailored to your needs. Nevertheless, to make the initial trial and installation process easier, from the three pre-configured installation packages (Basic, Standard and Full), we have chose to customize the Full package for learning about the available features and setups.

Following the recommendation of the CKEditor Team, the installation packages are just predefined setups that aim to satisfy some common use cases. It is always recommended to build a custom CKEditor4 package adjusted to your production website special needs.
