Problem/Motivation

When using Views, you can add Custom Text Area in Header or Footer for instance. This Text Area can use the various text formatter you defined on your site. When using a text format allowing it, it should be able to use the WYSIWYG tool accordingly.

User interface changes

Let user use WYSIWYG tool when adding a text area in their view's header or footer.

I remember back in d7 wysiwyg in the modal was just broken. Maybe (hopefully) this is no longer the case ...

@dawehner: indeed, I just though it was more explicit since it is a feature change. But indeed, default value :)
@jibran: patch also applies cleanly on 8.2.x

Has anyone tried uploading an image through the editor dialog? This modal-in-modal was broken for a long time and was the reason for disabling the editor.

Patch isn't applying on Drupal 9.4.x aswell as 9.3.x

In Text.php we have now :

  /**
   * {@inheritdoc}
   */
  public function buildOptionsForm(&$form, FormStateInterface $form_state) {
    parent::buildOptionsForm($form, $form_state);

    $form['content'] = [
      '#title' => $this->t('Content'),
      '#type' => 'text_format',
      '#default_value' => $this->options['content']['value'],
      '#rows' => 6,
      '#format' => $this->options['content']['format'] ?? filter_default_format(),
      '#editor' => FALSE,
    ];
  }

Can we maybe just switch editor to TRUE ?

I am on the latest 9.2
Patch #26 adds ckeditor to global custom fields
But it strips links when they are added.
I wonder about the other patches.

Ckeditor works as expected in a normal text area

I've tried out to use this with ckeditor5. Here is a little video: Here

Summary of the video: The 'modal' of the image alt text is not appearing. On top the toolbar sometimes hovers on top of everything else.

Trying the patch using D10 and CKEditor 5 : excitement of not having dialog in CKE5 made me believe that would work out of box solving our issue here.
This is not that far actually. But still some problem remains in some functionalities : namely one that has those "balloon"-like expected, for instance link or image plugin.

Expected :
expected balloon configuration
Observed:
No balloon

Therefore I guess at the moment, we can consider the initial "dialog" issue to transfer to a "balloon" issue.

Reproduction

- Apply the patch on drupal 10
- Configure a text format for CKE5
- Add a textarea in the header of one of the view
- Try to make a link or add an image within that textarea

Any way we could include the global text field in this patch also?

Version: 10.0.x-dev » 11.x-dev

Drupal core is moving towards using a “main” branch. As an interim step, a new 11.x branch has been opened, as Drupal.org infrastructure cannot currently fully support a branch named main. New developments and disruptive changes should now be targeted for the 11.x branch. For more information, see the Drupal core minor version schedule and the Allowed changes during the Drupal core release cycle.
