Easy to use web editor

By systechguy on 22 May 2009 at 20:43 UTC

In the near future, my company would potentially like to convert to the Drupal platform.

There is a subdomain of the site that has an online newsletter that is edited by someone who uses Dreamweaver.
She doesn't know html that well (not at all really) so I set up some templates for her so she can use Dreamweaver in Design Mode to create static webpages.

Through design mode, she can drag and place pictures around as well as use the Properties utility to change font styles, tables, etc....

Is there an html editor within Drupal that will allow for this kind of "no html knowledge needed" editing?

WYSIWYG editors for Drupal

vpiplani commented 26 May 2009 at 10:52

Drupal supports various WYSIWYG editors like TinyMCE and FCK Editor. From these editors you can format text and it makes the editing very simple.

You can download the WYSIWYG API from following location.
http://drupal.org/project/wysiwyg
It supports many WYSIWYG editors and you can pick any one of your choice.

You can also add IMCE Module from http://drupal.org/project/IMCE
It will add support for image upload in your editor.

easy. powerful. free.

Choose two.

I'd recommend your layout editor learning how to edit layout.
Or stick to text.

I've lived through the desktop publishing revolution. Many aesthetics were killed in the line of duty during that conflict.
Learning stuff is the only true path.

Did this for an NGO recently, instead of foisting the ugliness of a WYSIWYG editor (and all the associated issues...) we built a CCK content type, fairly customised and heavily themed output but it does the job and rather nicely also. Aesthetic freedom is killed somewhat but the newsletters are consistently the same style and look nice, which is all we need since the information and the inherent usability of the form is far more important (all technophobe authors).

Pimp your Drupal 8 Toolbar - make it badass.
