[SOLVED] Wysiwig

[pas2gether]

Hi there

Which would you reagrd as the best WYSIWIG to use. There are quite a few out there. I want one that does the job but also looks good.

• I do not want to have to pay for it
• its got to be flexible enough to allow me to remove icons i dont want the end user to use
• Add my styles to (CSS)
• the view within the window should show styled tags and not the default h1,h2 sizing.

Is that do-able or am i asking to much here

Moved to Design & Development Software

WYSIWYG shouldn't be used at all!

Out of the bunch Dreamweaver is probable the only one that generates code that's not as disgusting as the others. But it's not free.

Stick to hand-coding.

Hi

Sorry, didnt get my question across properly.

I am a developer and the WYSIWIG will be implemented in the admin/secure side of the website. Its to allow the user to enter some content to update a page/pages AND also give them some limited formatting ability.

[karinne]

Then that is a totally different question

Look into TinyMCE


Moving back to PHP forum.

CMS?

Darn you karinnes, too fast, again

[shakes fist and hobbkes slowly back to the old solw pc]

[karinne]

No ... he's asking for embedded editors ... you know how when you create a thread on the forum and you have all these bold, italics, etc... buttons? That's what he's looking to implement on his site.

I think ....

Hi Karinne

Thats exactly what I am looking for.

Do you have experience with Tiny MCE.

Is it easy to implement?

[karinne]

I haven't tried it yet. I will be implementing it in my new dashboard app I'm creating tho ... just haven't gotten around to that part yet.

Has anybody any experience of TinyMCE

I have used TinyMCE but I much prefer FCKEditor - it seems to be lighter, and also can be implemnted by most languages.

new dashboard app

Whats does this entail Karinne? Is it a CMS? (I cant ever remember if its 2 "r"s or 2 "n"s lol)

(it's 2 n's )

Not a CMS per say ... just and better admin panel for my clients. I custom build CMS's depending on my clients' needs and this editor thing is a new must-have

[1840dsgn]

ah i see, yea im going to do the same with the custom building CMS's. Any chance when your done I can have a look at it?

[karinne]

We'll see

[1840dsgn]

lol! ok then

[alexgeek]

I might incorporate one into my blog entry form.
Do they produce valid code?

[1840dsgn]

fck editor does. I use it for my site, its awesome. Did you ever play on the CMS I made? I posted it up in here.

[alexgeek]

Yes I did, but I don't think I saw that.
Is the CMS demo still up? Link me?

[1840dsgn]

yea I've PM'd you

[alexgeek]

I have noticed it uses the deprecated <u> tag!

[1840dsgn]

ah does it, I dont use underline anyway...but ill try and rewrite the code so it uses css...dunno how but il try!
