No that means that you have upgraded (in several steps over the years) from an old version of DNN without changing the editor provider, maybe in some upgrade this should have gone automatically but failed for some reason. Therefore you were still using the "old" CK Editor provider. What you have done is you have switched to the new provider and you should be safe now.

Happy DNNing!

Yes, now I have latest editor, but Site Setting - Site Behavior - More - Open HTML Editor Manager is still broken.
In testing webserver I just tried remove CKEditor Config Manager in Extensions, but issue with HTML Editor Manager was not resolved. Any hint ?

EDIT: in webbrowser developper tools, related iframe (with "404 server error") points to http://myserver/Host/HTML...fined&portpopUp=true

That is expected url ?

Bad idea, as you need the config manager to be able to configure the editor, there are some blog posts about allowed and forbidden HTML code etc.

I would try the following: Unzip the DNN package (install or upgrade) somewhere on your disk (not the DNN web root!) and go to the Install/Provider folder. There you find a file DNNConnect.CKEditorProvider_09.12.00_Install.zip that you can install as a normal extension.

If that does not help, try to install the package DNNCE_HtmlEditorManager_09.12.00_Install.zip in Install/Module.

When asked agree to a "Repair install".

Ah, and do not forget to backup your files and database before you try something...

Happy DNNing!

Congrats on posting!
Following up on this thread as I am still facing this issue.
We are running DNN 9.13.3 on production, and testing upgrade to DNN 10.1.1.
On the HTML Editor Manager, our provider is still showing as 'CKHtmlEditorProvider' and when I try to change it to DNNConnect.CKE, nothing happens (after I click the Change button, it just goes back to the old provider). This is the case for both the 9.13.3 and upgraded 10.1.1 test websites)
I also tired the Install/Repair solutions that Michael suggested in the above post, but still getting the same result.
Any other ideas out there on how to update our HTML Editor PRovider?

Thanks
-Tom

The used Provider is set in web..config

<code>htmlEditor defaultProvider="DNNConnect.CKE"</code>

Make sure you not only change to the DNNConnect version, but also uninstall the old provider as it might contain vulnerabilities

Thanks Timo - 

I updated the web dot config (on a test website) per your message and it worked, DNNConnect.CK is now shown as the current provider. 

For the HTML Editor Manager, I still cannot access it through Site Settings > Behavior > More > Open HTML Editor Manager. It gives a 404 error. Do you have any idea about that issue?

I can see the HTML Manager by going to:  [mytestdomain]/Host/htmleditormanager dot aspx

I believe DNNConnect.CK should b egood going forward (when I upgrade to DNN 10.1.1 and beyond). Let me know if that is not correct

Thanks so much for your response.

Tom

Forgot to mention, I did uninstall other html providers and installed DNNConnect.CK from the DNN 9.13.3 upgrade, under Install/Provider

Hello again -

Now that I've updated successfully to DNNConnect.CK , there are some differences in the editor that I would like to address.
Most notably the html code in the editor (when Source is selected) has lost it's color coding . I don't see an obvious setting in the Editor config for this.
Do you know where I should look?

Thanks

Thank you Timo - 

I read the article you sent, and actually I already have "Allowed Content" set to "true" ( I believe that was set by default in an earlier version of the website )
 

The issue I am talking about is the color coding of the html when displayed in the editor. Before I changed to DNNConnect.CK , the html was shown with color coding as seen here:
 
Since changing to DNNConnect.CK, the code appears without the color coding:
Do you know if there is a way to get the color coding back?

Thanks
