Finding a new home for IvoryCKEditorBundle
Javier Eguiluz
IvoryCKEditorBundle is a popular Symfony bundle (more than 2 million downloads) that integrates the ubiquitous CKEditor WYSIWYG editor in Symfony applications and it's also used in projects like Sonata and Symfony CMF. Eric Geloen, the original bundle author, can no longer maintain it so he made a public announcement to get new maintainers.
Sadly nobody volunteered to maintain the bundle, so it was going to be abandoned. However, a few days ago Marko Kunic and Maximilian Berghoff finally volunteered and adopted the bundle under the Friends Of Symfony organization.
The migration to the new bundle is simple and it's explained in the
new migration guide. You just need to update the package name in your
composer.json to friendsofsymfony/ckeditor-bundle and then update some
PHP namespaces and the bundle config file.
The first version of the new bundle is focused on providing full compatibility
with the old bundle and Symfony 4 support. The next version will include new
features (maybe even support for CKEditor 5), lots of improvements and
simplifications. You can help the new maintainers reporting issues or
contributing pull requests and you can ask for help in the #ckeditor
channel of the Symfony Slack chat.
