I am a newbie to Drupal. Installed ver. 6.9 today. Trying to install WYSIWYG API editor ver.2.
Installed files into the sites/modules/wysiwyg/editor section. Enabled the module and saved. When trying to create content, WYSIWYG is nowhere to be seen.
In the Home » Administer » Site building WYSIWYG module is sitting alone in the "User interface" window under "Core-required".
In the Home » Administer » Site configuration » Wysiwyg there is a note "There are no editor libraries installed currently. The following list contains a list of currently supported editors:". The list is empty.
I had the same result with ver.1 What gives?
Thanks in advance for the help,
gm

Your problem is that you need
Your problem is that you need to download a library such as fck-editor to work with wysiwyg API. WYSIWYG doesn't work as a standalone but it smoothes out a lot of problems you might run into when using a editor like FCK alone.
Read the documentation and the read me. I think the proper procedure is well documented.
BUT: Contributed modules (= not the core ones) should be installed into sites/all/modules (contributed themes go into the themes folder). If not you run into problems when you have to upgrade your Drupal version.
The fact that the module is listed under "core" is a result of the improper installation.
AND: You should use the latest version of Drupal which is 6.10.

If you had checked
the documentation link on the project page you would have ended up here:

There it states:
And on the adminpage you simply click "installation instructions" and follow those.
