 ===== Upgrade CKEditor ===== ===== Upgrade CKEditor =====
  
-The plugin will not automatically upgrade to a new release of the CKEditor package. To see whether there is a later release, or to use either the Basic or the Standard package, visit the CKEditor CDN section [[https://ckeditor.com/ckeditor-4/download/|https://ckeditor.com/ckeditor-4/download/]], then modify the setting "URL of ckeditor.js" on the Settings page.+CKEditor 4 became end-of-life in June 2023 which means it has had no further updates or security fixes since then. The plugin uses the final free version of CKEditor, 4.22.1.

-===== Upgrade from phplist 2.10.x with FCKEditor ===== 
- 
-In phplist 2.10 the FCKIMAGES_DIR value in config.php defines the directory into which images will be uploaded. The value is relative to the phplist root directory. 
- 
-In phplist 3.x a different value, UPLOADIMAGES_DIR, is used to define the directory. This value is relative to the web root, not to the phplist root directory. To continue using the same upload directory you must set UPLOADIMAGES_DIR correctly. So, for example, if the existing image upload directory is ''/lists/uploadimages'' then the FCKIMAGES_DIR would be ''uploadimages'' but the value for UPLOADIMAGES_DIR would be ''lists/uploadimages''.

-==== Only a template or a message can be edited as a full HTML page, not both. This message will use only limited HTML. ==== 
- 
-By default, CKEditor allows only a limited set of HTML elements to be used. If you want it to generate a full HTML page, including the structural elements (''head'', ''body'' etc), then one of the settings "Allow templates to be edited as full HTML pages" or "Allow messages to be edited as full HTML pages" needs to be enabled in the CKEditor section on the Settings page. 
- 
-When one of those settings is enabled, CKEditor will ensure that the HTML structural elements are present, even if not entered directly. This means that it is not sensible to edit both templates and messages as full HTML pages because both will include structural elements leading to badly-formed HTML when a template includes a message using the [CONTENT] placeholder. 
- 
-If both of those settings are enabled then the one for templates takes precedence, and CKEditor will allow only limited HTML when editing a message. 
  
-If you want to create only full page HTML messages and do not use templates then set "Allow templates ..." to No and "Allow messages ..." to Yes.
