"New Post" style input page

Post by Xager »

Not sure if the title I used is that descriptive.

Anyway, what I want is to create an input page, very similar to the one I am currently using to add this new post, for my website. I have the basics of the page, I want to have the little emoticons, the [S] [Quote]

Code: Select all

kinda stuff. I will be having a few different people using this and need it to be familiar and easy to use. Anyone know of an easy a good way to get this all done? It's probably really easy, but I havent been using PHP for very long and so the answer eludes me.

Cheers for any help.

Why don't you try using an editor such as FCK Editor

Another possibility TinyMCE as I have heard some bad reports on the FCK Editor... You'll have to try several I think to determine what you should actually use and find easiest.

What were the bad reports about CoderGoblin?

Only because I use FCK Editor.

I remember seeing some things on this forum.. e.g Rich Text Editor and also elsewhere but cannot remember where. One of those things where you browse, take note of a comment but don't store the link anywhere as you are unlikely to go back to it. To sum up generally some people find the FCKEditor a lot harder to setup and maintain.
