Drupal 8 will finally be shipped with a default WYSIWYG editor: CKEditor. Content creation and editing is one of the most frequent tasks in CMS applications, that’s why it’s important to fully grasp the tools used while editing. A good understanding of the editor will help you control what’s being posted and increase the efficiency of your site’s content creators.

This session will not only guide you through CKEditor-related features in Drupal 8, but will also help you extend CKEditor functionality by providing your own features.

Agenda:

• Why existing WYSIWYG solutions for Drupal 6/7 are bad.
• New features offered in CKEditor & Text Editor modules.
• What is ACF? How content filtering works in CKEditor.
• Widgets: why use them and how they handle images.
• Writing and adding plugins to CKEditor, extending the list of configuration options.
• Security: HTML Filter vs. ACF.
• Migration.
