composer require drmartingonzo/ss-tinymce-charcount ^1.1.0

Requirements

• SilverStripe CMS ^4.0

Enable plugin

In your _config.php file, add :

use SilverStripe\Forms\HTMLEditor\HtmlEditorConfig;
use SilverStripe\Core\Manifest\ModuleResourceLoader;

Then add whatever plugins you wish to enable, + charcount

HtmlEditorConfig::get('cms')
->enablePlugins([
    'template',
    'fullscreen',
    'hr',
    'contextmenu',
    'charmap',
    'visualblocks',
    'lists',
    'charcount' => ModuleResourceLoader::resourceURL('drmartingonzo/ss-tinymce-charcount:client/dist/js/bundle.js'),
])

Finally run dev/build with flush to remove previous TinyMCE javascript cache.
