RTE, Rich Text CMS editing - how the heck do you do it?
Posted: Wed Apr 08, 2009 3:04 am
Dear fellow developers
I have a content management system, but it does need a system, pretty much like what we have here.
So the font, styling, colours can be changed.
I have found various methods to do this: fckeditor, rte, kevin roth....
So are easy to setup than others (kevin roth was the easiest), however none demonstrate effectively how to pass data from one page to another, so the content of the 'field' can be INSERT into a mysql database.
The Kevin Roth method allowed data to pass, but it all went via the URL, and when that URL is very long, it's impossible to manage.
Surely there's a way to pass the data into a variable and pass that thru - like with a normal Form Textbox way.
Anyone got any brilliant methods that are foolproof?
Regards
Simon
