RICH TEXT EDITORS
Forgive me if I am posting this question in the wrong forum but,
does anyone have any suggestions on rich text editors?
I would like to attach one to my phpmail and found alot of them
when I googled. Can anyone give me any ideas on which of them
are worth while and easy to implement?
insight appreciated
thank you
Kevin

Your talking to a newbie here.
Not sure what to look for, or what I am looking at.

For example what do you like about xyz editor over abc editor?
insight is always appreciated

surely you're not new enough to have forgotten how to search google before asking...

Apparently you've been here long enough to forget how to read the original post. He used google. He specifically mentioned that he had. He didn't understand the choices.nickvd wrote:surely you're not new enough to have forgotten how to search google before asking...
Which is what a helpful response could have done.Can anyone give me any ideas on which of them are worth while and easy to implement?
This isn't the first time your responses haven't been very polite or helpful.
At least read the posts where people are saying they have googled, and skip the 'google darnit' responses in those.

If you have a problem with me, take it up via pm, don't insult me in public... I can point you to dozens of posts identical to mine on the google issue...
Though, to satisfy your complaint, I offer this little tid-bit of information that took me less than 5 minutes to find on google...

I appreciate the help, but will these work with phpmail.php.
How would I take the output from one of these editors and plug it into my email?
I am not looking to give my user the ability to update webpages at this juncture,
but rather have them edit their emails with RTE and then post them to my php mail.
Could you give me any idea what the output from one of these editors looks like so that I
can prep it for use in my email?
right now I have this class mail->$body; that captures the input from my textarea.
Now I would like to take the value from the $RTE and do the same thing.
I have alot of questions and I am not sure how to dig for answers?

Just from my personal experience, if the editor is going to be used by a trusted user then http://www.innovastudio.com/ is one hell of a product. It does costs somewhere around 60 bucks but I use it all the time at work. Easy to install and works like a charm.
Can I break down the number of features based on who my user is?Charles256 wrote:Just from my personal experience, if the editor is going to be used by a trusted user then http://www.innovastudio.com/ is one hell of a product.

TinyMCE is ace if you need to handle text only. If you want something that has a module to upload files and images then TinyMCE is a pretty poor choice as it doesn't come with anything to handle stuff on the serverside by default. There are plugins around, but they're not very good and a pain to install.AKA Panama Jack wrote:If you are picking any you should probably pick TinyMCE as it supports the widest range of browsers.
Spaw2 is the best for a quick and painless install, but it's not got quite as many features as the rest. It does have all the important ones though.

TinyMCE does offer a file browser but you have to buy it from them.
Or...
You can download TinyFCK. http://p4a.crealabsfoundation.org/tinyfck
TinyFCK is TinyMCE with the FCKEditor file browser added. It works great and is quite painless. We have used it for a long time.
downloading tinyfck
Any ideas on what I can do to download tinyfck.

Works just fine for me.
BTW, for anyone who has problems with URLs not working. I would suggest changing your DSN lookup to use the one at http://www.opendns.com/ It's free and never seems to have the weird DNS issues some ISP's have lately. They always seem to have the latest and it is damned fast on the lookups. I have Mediacom as my ISP and their DNS lookup took for freaking ever.
