I am getting used to review the status page (admin/log/status) when installing a new drupal setup to review everything and configuring/downloading tinyMCE (my editor choice).. It would be nice to have some sort of status messages informing that no editor is installed.

I am submitting a patch as a start point, hopefully to save you some little time.. I have adapted some code from your wysiwyg_profile_overview() function to display the version of the installed editors if any, the errors if any, and a warning if no edit is installed.

I think this might be useful.

Hope this helps,
a.=

As a further thought, maybe a wysiwyg_editor_status($phase) can be created to format/create status messages to in one single place, where $phase can be the usual 'runtime', 'install' and you can use your own 'overview' to use in on the overview page.

I'm not sure whether this is a good idea. Actually, running Wysiwyg API without any editor is a valid option, too. For example, a future version of Image Assist may integrate with Wysiwyg API to also allow this.

I see.. well, was just a thought.. the status message is a warning, so is just a reminder but I see your point..

Thanks,
