Hi everyone,
I noticed that the CKEditor Forge component used in some Traditional Web applications still bundles an older CKEditor 4 library (e.g., 4.11.4), and it doesn’t seem to have been updated for a while.
I was wondering if anyone knows of any maintained rich-text editor Forge components that work well with Traditional Web.
Most of the newer editors I found (like CKEditor 5 or TinyMCE wrappers) seem to be designed mainly for Reactive Web apps, so they’re not directly compatible.
Has anyone found a good alternative for Traditional Web, or upgraded the editor used in their apps?
Thanks!
I think the alternative is InputToTinyMCE , but the plugin last update also in 2017 and I think CKEditor still better. I still use CK editor in my Application even though the update is long time ago, do you find any problem when you use the CKEditor?
To embed a pure JavaScript rich-text editor directly using HTML and JavaScript instead of relying on Forge wrappers. Many experienced OutSystems teams prefer this method because it allows them to use the latest versions of modern editors without depending on component maintenance. Popular editors that can be integrated this way include TinyMCE, Quill, and Summernote. The typical pattern involves using an Expression widget with EscapeContent set to False to include the required JavaScript and CSS files, creating a standard <textarea> element in the page, initializing the editor through JavaScript, and then synchronizing the editor’s content with a hidden input or variable so that the data can be captured and processed by the OutSystems application.
