Cool implementation of TinyMCE

Post by RobertGonzalez »

I just found this site from the TinyMCE forums. This dude has put together a pretty cool implementation of TinyMCE as a Content Editor. It is a little slow, but it is still pretty cool.

Didn't "work" for me in FF2... I selected text hit bold, and the toolbar disappeared beneath a layer rendering it unusable.. I was planning something similar to this in v2 of my content editor, I may have to play some more...

I see what you are saying. It just did the same thing to me. Of course, a quick ctrl-b bolded the test, but it did not maintain the layer property.

For us, that know we could use CTRL-B it's fine, but think about granny-widget-maker.... :D

Ah, we all know she'll be baking us fresh cookies while we fix her site.

Mjum! And that's what she should keep doing, isn't it?

More serious, even if this would work 100%, I wouldn't think about adding it to a cms for a non-tech client. I'd prefer a stripped-down version with only the most necessary stuff. Otherwise, you don't want to know how your html will look after a few weeks or months of "editing"... (even though tinymce is one of the few editors which can output reasonable clean code if you adjust the editor a bit).

My perfect editor would just output the most basic html tags. h1-h6, p, ul, ol and maybe strong and em. I know some clients might want to have more, but I know that in this case more is not better.

What do you think?
