Technical information

Configuration

Up to BlueSpice 3.2.x: The VisualEditor uses the Node.js service Parsoid. Because this service cannot be installed in some cases, this extension is deactivated by default. After successful installation and configuration, the visual editor can be activated as described.

BlueSpice 4.1.x+: VisualEditor no longer requires Parsoid. Therefore, VisualEditor is activated by default.

Rights (permissions)

Requirements

VisualEditor requires BlueSpiceFoundation.
