In the latest episode of Tag1 Team Talks, Michael Meyers, Managing Director of Tag1 Consulting, is joined by Tag1 Drupal experts Francesco Pesenti and Marco Molinari to discuss an essential update for Drupal 7 users: the integration of CKEditor 5 into the Tag1 Drupal 7 Extended Support (D7ES) platform.
Key Highlights:
- Drupal 7 End-of-Life (EOL): With EOL set for January 2025, critical security and dependency updates are necessary. CKEditor 4, the most popular content editor in Drupal 7, has already reached EOL and poses known security risks - it should no longer be used.
- Free CKEditor 5 Support: Tag1 is introducing free full CKEditor 5 integration as part of its D7ES service, ensuring secure and feature-rich editing capabilities for all Drupal 7 users.
- Seamless Migration: The upgrade process takes minutes - with no impact on existing content. Tag1 has also included addtional CKEditor 5 plugins at no extra cost to enhance functionality.
- Custom Plugins: Custom plugs will take some effort to migrate and are your responsibility. If you need help with this, Tag1 can provide professional support for custom plugin migration; we’ve developed AI tooling to reduce the effort.
- Future-Proofing: Upgrading to CKEditor 5 not only secures your site, and improves content editing, it also simplifies future migration to Drupal 10 and beyond!
Tag1’s experience as the only provider with a history of Drupal extended support guarantees secure, scalable, and cost-effective solutions for the community.
