I use the FCK editor on most sites for admin and trusted users.

The standard editor we use on Druapl.org is fine for some people, but HTML is a strange environment to "just folks".

What I'm looking for is an editor similar to the ones on VBulletin, SMF, Invision boards.

An editor that has NO HTML, and images are embedded.

The tagging is UBB for security purposes.

There are no uploads of images or videos only embeds.

The embeds are viewed or played from your site and are not linked off to youtube,etc.

I'm working on a blog site, that has been hacked more times than I care to mention.

It's basically a political opinion site.

Controversial issues bring out the worst of people, and they do things to your site.

I have got to close the interface tools that let the destructive little ferrets in.

There s a UBB tool here, which maybe the answer.

Any suggestions would be appreciated

I realize I can do this with CCK, and other tools.

I am interested for user to have all entries facilitated within editor text box.

I've not tried them, but perhaps one of http://drupal.org/project/modules?text=bbcode ?

Thanks for that.

I uploaded it and I've been trying to figure it out.

It really needs a header with icons like on forums.

I'm not too sure users, the kind I've got on this site will get it.

The FCKEditor has a great little tool on their site, when you mail contact with them.

I don't know what that editor is, but if it had embed ability for video, photos,audio it would be just what I'm looking for.

It always amazes me how neglectful people can be about their sites, and when they're hacked they whine.

My gosh, with the ferrets out there now.

No prosecutions of the animals, no reprimands the web is wide open for abuse.

Seriously, I spent two days last week cleaning up messes made by users and ferrets.

You have to allow video, photos on your sites to make them interesting.

Video especially, people love the talking pictures. LOL

Now it has become necessary on sites to require content as well as video, or you'd have no SEO.

By including the embed within the WYSIWYG editor you get content as well.

The CCK with video, turns into videos staked ontop of each other.

You can set the limit at 1 video and they'll just create another node for you. LOL

IMO, within this year with all the trouble I'm having on sites; I predict the BB code or something like it will the editor of choice on most blog sites.

Do you have a link? The only 'contact' link i found on the site had pure textboxes-- no editor at all. In any case, I find it hard to believe they would be using anything but fckeditor, but you never know.

Here is the link

http://dev.fckeditor.net/newticket?type=New%20Feature

You have to be registered and login...

This is the "request feature" for FCKeditor email contact page.

In other words, request for things you'd like to see in FCKeditor.

It is very watered down and looks like a good secure alternative.

The only thing I would add is the ability to embed video

Ah ok-- that's a ticket. As described at the bottom of the page it's powered by Trac (open source ticketing software) which explains why it's not fckeditor. A quick look at the trac site found: http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/WikiFormatting. The only module I know of that combines both wikiformatting and a toolbar is http://drupal.org/project/markdowneditor.

I've spent the day on this... gotta move on to other things. LOL

My solution:

Using a Content Type CCK added an embed field for video, then use the watered down or drupal version of the FCK.

I did not specify an image browser so users can only embed photos with embed links.

Then of course the video embeds as allowed in the CCK module.

I removed all evidence of filtered HTML and Full HTML, so all the user sees when creating or editing content is the minimal FCkeditor with embed for images.

-----------------------

Yeah, it's a workaround. I hope it is secure enough.

Think I'll put a recaptha on it as well.

Thanks for all your responses. It sure helps when you can bounce things off others.
