Official distribution releases of CKEditor 4.

Last update: Nov 25, 2022

Overview

CKEditor 4 - Releases

Releases Code

This repository contains the official release versions of CKEditor 4.

There are four versions for each release — standard-all, basic, standard, and full. They differ in the number of plugins that are compiled into the main ckeditor.js file as well as the toolbar configuration.

See the comparison of the basic, standard, and full installation presets for more details.

The standard-all build includes all official CKSource plugins with only those from the standard installation preset compiled into the ckeditor.js file and enabled in the configuration.

All versions available in this repository were built using CKBuilder, so they are optimized and ready to be used in a production environment.

Documentation

Developer documentation for CKEditor is available online at: https://ckeditor.com/docs/.

Can't install alternate distribution releases with composer
Following the docs at http://ckeditor.com/blog/CKEditor-Supports-Bower-and-Composer, I tried the following code:

"require": { "ckeditor/ckeditor": "full/4.3.3", }

Unfortunately composer fails with the following message:

[UnexpectedValueException] Could not parse version constraint full/4.3.3: Invalid version string "full/4.3.3"

On the other hand branches seem to work OK. Unfortunately, I work with a very picky project manager that wants all dependencies to be pinned versions.

Is there any workarounds?

How to install plugins with Composer

I haven't had any luck in finding direction on this. I'd like to use Composer to install CKEditor. This works, however there's no clear way to add the plugins I need. For example-

http://ckeditor.com/addon/syntaxhighlight

What's the best method to do this?

Latest release version via the builder is broken
When getting a clean version from https://ckeditor.com/cke4/builder and adding a simple html to test CKEditor, the editor is not loading, both in the latest Chrome and Safari in macOS Mojave.

The test script i'm using (from documentation):

<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>A Simple Page with CKEditor</title>  <script src="ckeditor.js"></script> </head> <body> <form> <textarea name="editor1" id="editor1" rows="10" cols="80"> This is my textarea to be replaced with CKEditor. </textarea> <script> // Replace the <textarea id="editor1"> with a CKEditor // instance, using default configuration. CKEDITOR.replace( 'editor1' ); </script> </form> </body> </html>

The editor loads, the toolbars show up, but its blocked, and when clicking a button it complains about not being active.

EDIT:

This seems to be only the issue when using the builder. Downloading it as a FULL package directly and testing the exact same script above works. Switching back to the builder version fails again.

EDIT 2:

The file samples/index.html also has a not working editor in the build version. Same goes for the samples/toolbarconfigurator/index.html which doesn't work.

HTTPS on the CKEditor website

Hello,

As a follow-up to https://github.com/ckeditor/ckeditor-releases/issues/38#issuecomment-307802512 and https://www.drupal.org/node/2885338 I open this issue.

I don't know if it is the right place for that but would it be possible for the CKEditor website to use HTTPS please?

It would ease the download of plugins using tools such as Composer. Currently in Drupal 8 there is the Webform module (https://www.drupal.org/project/webform) (and some other modules) which requires CKEditor plugins and provides a composer.json template to download those plugins using composer but the URL of those plugins are in HTTP.

So having the CKEditor website in HTTPS would avoid a lot of people to have to disable the "secure-http" option in Composer.

Thanks for any reply.

Add samples to Bower ignore

I think several files including documentation/project info (README.md and CHANGES.md) and examples (samples/ directory) could be ignored when loading CKEditor by using Bower.

Currently, the standard package contains 325 files, while 16% of them are examples and Markdown files.

What about adding composer support

Hi, would be great if you add composer support so we can install ckeditor as a dependency.

Twitter bootstrap is doing that.

If you agree I can make a PR for you and you will just have to register this on packagist.

What do you think about this idea ?

Paste From Word files missing

The dev and release repositories have different files for the pastefromword plugin https://github.com/ckeditor/ckeditor-dev/tree/master/plugins/pastefromword https://github.com/ckeditor/ckeditor-releases/tree/master/plugins/pastefromword

Provide working example for "Try it out" link on our npm package page.

There is "Try it out Test ckeditor in your browser." link/box in ckeditor package page which uses tonicdev.com playground/sandbox to show packages examples in browser. For CKEditor it does not work out of the box so we should provide working example.

I posted an issue on npm/newww, asking how it should be done correctly for frontend packages like CKEditor, see https://github.com/npm/newww/issues/1891.

Copy paste from google docs

Hello, There seems to be a problem with pasting content from google docs using google chrome. ckeditor transforms all the pasted content to bold, surrounding them with tags when in fact they are not bold.

Here is a sample google doc to test with https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WgI8GMo47XU-RWgkDf4_m7P5hiTkiTCc4t06V9WIK2E/edit

The problem can be verified with google chrome using the ckeditor sample page: http://ckeditor.com/demo I am not sure about other browsers.

Stylesheet Parser Plugin Missing?

Per the description of this package:

The CKEditor 4 npm package comes in the standard-all preset, so it includes all official CKEditor plugins, with those from the standard package active by default.

However, when I add the following to my config (NOTE: That URL is the same stylesheet used in the official example):

config.contentsCss = [ 'https://ckeditor.com/docs/ckeditor4/4.19.0/examples/assets/stylesheetparser/stylesheetparser.css', ]; config.extraPlugins = 'stylesheetparser';

I don't see any style in the dropdown in my toolbar.

Did the Stylesheet Parser Plugin get left out somehow, and how can I get it back in (using npm)?

Packagist not updated for 4.18.0

I can't use Composer to update ckeditor because packagist does not currently.

I see a commit here https://github.com/ckeditor/ckeditor4-releases/commit/9335fb40486008aeec9f150574d53f35d3aba9c7 for 4.18.0, but it seems not to have propagated to packagist, where the most recent is 4.17.2.

(The workaround is to use the zip file in the composer.json repositories section.)

Probably a duplicate of this issue: https://github.com/ckeditor/ckeditor4/issues/3921

Thanks!

Provide compiled but non-minimized resources (JS/CSS)

Hey guys,

you are doing great job with providing CKEditor as Bower package.

One thing that I would appreciate is having access to compiled (released) version of CKEditor 4 but without doing minification/uglification/obfuscation.

I'm not sure whether it is achieavable in current CKEditor build system,

but the problem with obfuscated resources is that they can't be easily debugged (when source maps aren't provided)

On the other hand, you can't simply switch released repo (ckeditor bower dependency) to dev repo (ckeditor-dev bower dependency) to debug.

Do you consider it a valid issue?

Should I report this issue to CKEditor issue tracker?
