This page has been created for the Magnolia 5 UI framework. For the 6 UI framework page, see Content Editor module instead. |
The Content Editor module provides a platform for handling well-defined blocks of content in Magnolia. The core of the platform is the Magnolia Content Editor submodule, implemented as the stories-app submodule which allows editors to create and edit stories in the Author instance using the Stories app.
Compatibility note Custom content editor and block definitions created in the Magnolia 5 UI framework must be migrated. |

Installing with Maven
Bundled modules are automatically installed for you.
If the module is unbundled, add the following to your bundle including your project’s <dependencyManagement>
section and your webapp’s <dependencies>
section.
If the module is unbundled but the parent POM manages the version, add the following to your webapp’s <dependencies>
section.
<dependency>
<groupId>info.magnolia.editor</groupId>
<artifactId>magnolia-content-editor</artifactId>
<version>1.3.16</version> (1)
</dependency>
1 | Should you need to specify the module version, do it using <version> . |
If you want to build your own custom implementation, add this dependency to your module:
<dependency>
<groupId>info.magnolia.editor</groupId>
<artifactId>magnolia-content-editor</artifactId>
<version>1.3.16</version> (1)
</dependency>
1 | Should you need to specify the module version, do it using <version> . |
If you intend to build custom blocks, add this dependency to your module:
<dependency>
<groupId>info.magnolia.block</groupId>
<artifactId>magnolia-block-templating</artifactId>
<version>1.3.16</version> (1)
</dependency>
1 | Should you need to specify the module version, do it using <version> . |
Maven dependency management will include the other required content-editor submodules. Make sure you use the same version for all dependencies.
