Folks,

I'm trying to determine the best text editor addon for a new Drupal 5.0 site. The TinyMCE module's functionality is VERY reduced over the 4.7 version (you can't customize the buttons and addins for TinyMCE without hacking the config files), but it seems to be the only variety that allows you to drag the text box around to resize it.

I've tried FCKEditor and HTMLArea, and neither can do this.

Has anyone gotten resizing to work using another package? If so, which one and how'd you do it?

Thanks SO much - this is a big holdup for me.

John

There's also a patch that can be applied to the 4.7 version that makes it 5.x compatible.

I just may try that - it seems so much more customizable than the 5.0 module. Has anyone gotten other editors to be resizable?

FCKeditor itself has a feature called autogrow, which will grow the textarea up to a specified maximum, but you'll need to edit fckeditor.config.js to enable it (information about it is in the fckeditor documentation)

the resizable textareas that drupal has by default won't work because the fckeditor module turns it off for the fields that will be replaced (the two scripts are incompatible, so if you choose fckeditor you'll loose the resizable textareas)

The latest version of TinyMCE for Drupal 5 is now fully featured - just like 4.7 was.
