Easy WYSIWYG Content Posting?

alextorpey - September 9, 2008 - 02:09

I'm developing a website for someone where one of the core issues is creating an easy way for them to post content to the site, and to do so without having html knowledge. What's the best way to get this done. I couldn't find any modules with this functionality, but is there a way to have it such that the text boxes in the content posting section have some basic text editing functions? Does anyone have any suggestions - anything at all is appreciated. Thanks,

HTMLbox

I just installed HTMLbox for the first time today. It worked perfect for me and has just the basic WYSIWYG HTML functionality that I needed.

FCKeditor

For pure WYSIWYG I'm a fan of FCKeditor paired with IMCE for inline images.

For adding HTML (or BBCode, etc) without needing to know HTML, BUEditor is my favorite (I use this on my own sites just to speed up HTML entry, so I can click on WYSIWYG-like buttons and add HTML). IMCE integrates nicely with it as well.

I tried TinyMCE:

I tried TinyMCE: http://drupal.org/project/tinymce but could not get it to work. After installing and setting it up, it wouldn't appear in the content create textarea as it supposed to. I want to use it because it can be switched off and (hopefully) allow me to enter full html. Can the FCKeditor be switched off while creating content to allow full html coding?

Yes it can be switched off

Yes it can be switched off as needed.

Hello,

If you are using I18n remember to change node/* to */node/* in the URL setting of the profile you are creating. It happened to me a few days ago.

I haven't done any I18n but

I haven't done any I18n but I put "*/" prefix anyway and still not working.

FYI, fckeditor works great!
