I have a client who is wondering about emoji support in backdrop. They are an activist arts organization and tend to like including emojis in their text for various types of content. CKEditor 4 supports emojis through a plugin, but it is not available in the preset. Is it possible to override the CKEditor built in to backdrop with a different CKEditor build?

Hi kristin,

Is it possible to override the CKEditor built in to backdrop with a different CKEditor build?

I don't think that's possible, at least have not heard that anyone did that before.

It is possible to add CKEditor plugins via a custom module, though. There are several modules that enhance the editor with additional plugins.

Basically it's done with hook_ckeditor_plugins(). This requires some coding, of course.
