Hi,

We are being asked to replace CKEditor 4 since it is end of life and are looking for alternative HTML Editor Providers to use under DNN 9. I see there is a built-in RadEditorProvider but am not that familiar with it and if it might have security vulnerabilities. Are there alternative HTML providers people have used, either for CKEditor 5 or a different provider?

Thank you!

I don't use radeditor, but I don't think there is a suitable replacement yet. There has been some talk about this, it seems CKEditor5 does not have a suitable license. CKEditor4 still works and we still use that.

I never like full featured RichText editors, they give the ability to allow the client to make the site look a mess. We use CkEditor4 and we restrict the options to make it easy for our clients.

I have been looking at "Quill" https://quilljs.com/ But I still need to find the time to create a HTML Editor Provider for it. We have used it by injecting it into the module, so I doubt I will get time to create a provider any time soon.

I'm not sure what is happening with the HTML Editor Provider replacement. Maybe someone else knows.

While there is no HTML Editor Provider for it, there is a great web component based on Jodit in the dnn-elements project. See https://dnncommunity.gith...ments-richtext--docs for a Storybook playground for it and https://github.com/DNNCommunity/dnn-elements for the repo.
