This page has been created for the Magnolia 5 UI framework. For the 6 UI framework page, see Content Editor module instead.

The Content Editor module provides a platform for handling well-defined blocks of content in Magnolia. The core of the platform is the Magnolia Content Editor submodule, implemented as the stories-app submodule which allows editors to create and edit stories in the Author instance using the Stories app.

Compatibility note

Custom content editor and block definitions created in the Magnolia 5 UI framework must be migrated.

Installing with Maven

Bundled modules are automatically installed for you.

If the module is unbundled, add the following to your bundle including your project’s <dependencyManagement> section and your webapp’s <dependencies> section. If the module is unbundled but the version is managed by the parent POM, add the following to your webapp’s <dependencies> section.

<dependency>
  <groupId>info.magnolia.editor</groupId>
  <artifactId>magnolia-content-editor</artifactId>
  <version>1.3.15</version> (1)
</dependency>
1 Should you need to specify the module version, do it using <version>.

If you want to build your own custom implementation, add this dependency to your module:

<dependency>
  <groupId>info.magnolia.editor</groupId>
  <artifactId>magnolia-content-editor</artifactId>
  <version>1.3.15</version> (1)
</dependency>
1 Should you need to specify the module version, do it using <version>.

If you intend to build custom blocks, add this dependency to your module:

<dependency>
  <groupId>info.magnolia.block</groupId>
  <artifactId>magnolia-block-templating</artifactId>
  <version>1.3.15</version> (1)
</dependency>
1 Should you need to specify the module version, do it using <version>.

Maven dependency management will include the other required content-editor submodules. Make sure you use the same version for all dependencies.

Content editor modules in Magnolia webapps and bundles

Preconfigured DX Core bundles or webapps, such as 6.2.42 WAR file for example, already contain the following six submodules:

  • magnolia-content-editor

  • magnolia-content-editor-widgetset

  • stories-app

  • magnolia-block-api

  • magnolia-block-templating
