Hello everyone,
You might be familiar with the Comments widget, a fantastic custom tool that enables you to create threads and conversations effortlessly within your applications. Previously, this widget utilised CKEditor as its text editor, sourced from the Liberty Create platform.
However, with the release of version 2024.1 (click here for release notes), we have upgraded the platform to a new rich text editor called TinyMCE. Consequently, the existing Comments widget would no longer function, necessitating an update to incorporate the new editor.
For applications running on Liberty Create version 2023.3 or earlier, the Comments widget will continue to operate as usual, and it remains available in the Community AppShare.
However, for applications on Liberty Create version 2024.1 and beyond, you will need to update your widget to the latest version, which is now available in the AppShare (click here to view).
The functionality of the widget remains unchanged; the update simply replaces the editor.
Top Tip:
If you haven’t customised the Comments widget, you can use the ‘Replace’ feature in Code Studio instead of uploading a new component and manually replacing the old widget on each page. To do this:
- Go to Code Studio
- Open the old Comments widget
- Click on the ‘Options’ cog in the top right corner
- Select ‘Replace’ > Upload the new file.
Please note, due to how custom widget settings in Code Studio are designed, it is necessary to review and remap your widget settings where required.
