Yeah..the AplosRTE is def. out..but unfortunately the replacement I have now - TinyMCE (no, its not from me ;D ) doesn't have any decent lightweight imagebrowser. So still pondering around that, might have to construct one myself in javascript/php. ugh.

You crack me up Bloc. I wish I knew PHP that good. I like the mentality of, "Hell, if it doesn't work, just make one yourself!"  haha!!

if it were me, i'd make it possible to upload your own wysiwyg editor (i'm not sure how hard that is, but i know there's an AplosRTE folder, maybe replacing that you could install a new editor?), so forum admins can choose to use the default or one of their choice.
Personally, i wouldn't mide TinyMCE, because i'm not worried about a lightweight image browser, i really just want a wysiwyg editor that actually works ;D

I really don't care what it is - as long as I can turn it off and go into caveman mode like you have working.

I'm sure prioritization is a daily challenge for you and I wouldn't put a better editor even on the radar screen right now  - being able to use the latest release from SMF is my personal #1.

After learning more about this system - "articles" are more like "static web pages" IMHO.  Especially since they are linked to nav buttons via categories. If anything, I'd find an admin-friendly web-editor over a user-friendly WYSIWG. Perhaps when you've had some time to work on article permissions - then a more "user-friendly" editor would be an issue.

WYSIWG is a relative term - an admin wants that *^$#'n thing turned off so they know what they see is what they got.

Thanks

yeah i let most of my users submit articles, and most of them are html dummies (don't know the first thing about it) so turning off the editor wouldn't be an option on my site :P

bloc

I am working on it..but other things first, yes.

I acknowledge Moocat's dilemma - I thought about that when I turned the WYSIWG off.

Fortunately, I'm still in hack-mode.

Moocat - do you have to aprove & categorize all article submissions before they show up to end users?

If so, I  understand that's easier than having to produce every page on your site yourself.

In the future, I see the value of "articles" as an option the web-master would have to turn over authority to certain individuals or groups thru links which would get the WebMaster out of the Critical Path between article creation and article posting.

Regards

yeah i do all the approvals and categorization after they submit. i just have them send a pm to what category they want it to be in and then i just put it in a random category :P

bloc

one problem as I see, is the potential misuse on uploading pictures. Thats why i am looking for a good imagebroswer/uploader to go with the editor.

But there is also FCKEditor, and even SPAW which looks good. I tried them but TinyMCE just had the quickest response.
