To be "DNNish": you should use the HtmlEditor provider that is included in DNN to access CK Editor (or write an own provider, or better improve the existing one by adding needed functionality and starting a pull request). Then you have less problems with upgrades...

Happy DNNing!

Thank you for your reply,

I get your point. That's why I am inquiring on which version CKEditor DNN using and are all the CKEditor features accessable if we mofified or built our own provider, we'll be happy to build our provider or imrpove the existing one. 

Basically what we are looking to implement some of the inline editing features which allows a permitted user to edit content in place without opening any other windows, it also makes the content true WYSIWYG.

The Default CKEditor provider currenlty uses CkEditor 4.
Version 5 cannot be added to the DNN installpackage due to it's license being GPL, which does not match DNN's MIT license.

Thank you, that's what I was looking for CkEditor 4 can do what we need. 

Hi Tim,

Before I told my developer about the CKEditor being used on DNN I wanted to doublecheck, and I just installed the latest version of DNN 9.10.2 and I was looking into the HTML module and clicked "Custom Editor Options"  which it took me to the CKEditor Provider Settings, ther I clicked  CKEditor JavaScript API Documentation Page. and the documentation says CKEditor 3 JavaScript API Documentation  
https://docs-old.ckeditor.com/ckeditor_api/symbols/CKEDITOR.config.html Is it probable the link is an old forgotten link and the editor is really Version 4?

If it is Version 3 Inline editing is not supported and we'll have to look into something like Froala.com

If you know please advise.

 

 

Yes, I guess that's an old link.
Check out the source

Thank you again, I was almost disappointed.
