And if you check at about 23 second you the taskbar.

This way it would be more easy for me to try and make something with drupal!!

I've check on my drupal 6.14 and don't see where i can get this toolbar....

Any input will be very much appreciated!

And please be as simple as possible in your explain i'm a newbie!!! And if i have a module or something to install can you write a bit on how to install it it will be my first time!

thanks a lot ahead of time for your care,
Fred

ok cool. i've check a bit and found that if i install this module it will do nothing alone??

I have to install one of these : TinyMCE, FCKeditor, NicEdit.....

So what is the best from the 3 that i have to install do i have to install all 3??? And what each give to wysiwyg?

And if i have to install one of them it is hard to install?

Thanks a lot!
Fred

You're right, the WYSIWYG module doesn't do anything by itself; it's just a framework to help you deal with third-party editors like TinyMCE, FCKEditor, etc.

The WYSIWYG module actually provides help text inside your Drupal site. If you navigate to Site configuration --> Wysiwyg (admin/settings/wysiwyg), you should see a fieldset titled "Installation instructions" with instructions for all supported editors. I've personally used TinyMCE and FCKEditor in the past, both of which also integrate with IMCE (a module that lets you do inline image upload/insertion into textareas).

To install TinyMCE, for example:

  1. If the directory doesn't already exist, create an empty directory at [drupal root]/sites/all/libraries. This is where we'll put the third-party scripts.
  2. Go to the TinyMCE download page and download the latest "Main package"
  3. Drop that zip file in sites/all/libraries and extract it. You should now have a directory structure of: sites/all/libraries/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js
  4. Go back to Site configuration --> Wysiwyg to see if you've correctly installed the editor. If you have, you'll see a green check mark.

Once you've installed the editor itself, you can set which Input Formats should be allowed to use it.

Ok,

with FCK editor only do i will be able to do all the thing (word interface and able to put picture)...

When i go in the drupal wysiwyg application i see a bunch of editor so wich one is the best???

WYMeditor, YUI editor, Whizzywig , TinyMCE, FCK editor, markitup, nicedit, open wysiwyg, jwysiwyg...

So it make a lot of editor can i use them all??? can i only use one???

Sorry i'm bit confuse with all editor available!!!

Thanks ahead of time for your response!

Best is a subjective term. The 'best' advice is to test them on a test site to figure out which one you find works for you.

You can use wysiwyg.module and then just add the libraries or you can use the indvidual modules if you so choose. Ultimately the choice is yours.

You should probably only use one. As I said, I've only used FCKEditor and TinyMCE myself, and they seemed pretty comparable.

Play around; see what you like best and why, and let us know what you think were important factors in making your decision.
