Issue

While creating a structure, when you select a field as HTML and create web content using the same structure, the field is not displaying as an HTML editor.

Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.0

Resolution

The reason behind it is not displaying as an HTML editor is because Liferay by default uses AlloyEditor. So to make that as an HTML editor CKEditor needs to be used. So, to use CKEditor below properties need to be added in portal-ext.properties.

editor.wysiwyg.default=ckeditor
editor.wysiwyg.portal-impl.portlet.ddm.text_html.ftl=ckeditor

After adding the above properties, the server needs to be restarted so as to bring the changes to the portal.
