Kirby 3.3.0 – Trioceros

… is a huge new release with tons of new features, improvements and bug fixes, based on your feedback: Release 3.3.0 – Trioceros · getkirby/kirby · GitHub

The Kirby Editor

… is a major next step for Kirby. It adds a very intuitive and visual writing and layout interface to Kirby. It’s the foundation for a completely new content editing experience in Kirby and we hope for many exciting new projects that become possible now: GitHub - getkirby/editor: A new type of WYSIWYG editor for Kirby

We can’t wait to hear what you think of both!

There is a lot that is new here. All fantastic! Go team!
Also, of high importance to me, I love how the content from the textarea blueprint field is automatically updated when switching it to the editor value in blueprints. https://github.com/getkirby/editor/wiki/Blueprint-setup
Now to see if it will handle the change from the Kirby Markdown Field plugin from SylvainJule that I was using.

It should be working with Sylvain‘s plugin too. The editor can parse html and markdown - no matter where it comes from.

Great release! The new editor plugin is going to help a lot and the new virtual page docs are excellent.

In the future, will the new editor be part of Kirby by default or stay as a plugin?

8

For the time being, it will stay as a plugin. But that might change in the future.

I downloaded the editor and renamed the folder to editor and put it in the plugin folder. How do I activate the editor? Is it a different field type than textarea?

10

Yes, the field type is editor. You can still use the textarea field side by side with the editor.
