Installed it and worked like a charm! Thanks a lot...

Except from the popup window sizes in firefox everything is fine with this editor.

I've looked at all the free ones - JCE is the best open source Joomla Editor out there.



However, that doesn't mean it is an effective, bug-free editor.



Pros:

* The flash tutorials are great, but very basic.

* Great plug-ins, and lots of control over button layout, and who gets to see them.

* The advanced (member-only, payment required) plug-ins are really nice.

* New Show/Hide HTML link is quick and handy/



Needs Improving:

* Install is fragmented. Follow the note above. (the nice 1.0.4 Flash tutorial has the install order wrong, so it won't help 1.1.0 users)



Cons:

* Documentation is pitiful.

* Current 1.1.0 version is beta, so don't expect stability.

* This version breaks compatibility with older plug-ins. This really hurts the product, because you are forced to give up useful plug-ins when you upgrade.



TinyMCE -- The Biggest Drawback:

TinyMCE wound up wasting LOTS of time for us in our last two Joomla projects.

* It doesn't predictably handle structured content based on divs and spans.

* It doesn't handle embedded flash or forms.

* It inconsistently applies named styles from your CSS: maybe you get the tag you wanted, or you might get spans or divs. No rhyme or reason.

* In general, TinyMCE likes to clutter up it's HTML, even with the Clean HTML option set.



Conclusion:

If the author of JCE can document the project adequately, and get rid of the bugs, he will have half of a great product. Sadly, all that greatness will still be neutralized by the inadequacies of the TinyMCE editor.

Still, JCE is the best WYSIWYG editor that the Joomla community has.

Great, the Beta version might sound scary, but is actually very solid.

This is a great plugin, thumbs up to the developer(s).

I'd love to see more community support and more add-ons for it.

Remember that if you unistall and install again, you have to pick the WYSIWYG editor on the site configuration again. i lost about 1 hour of my life figuring that out.

Simple fast functional

Worth it all the while in use.



A definite tool to use

I saw never a mambot/component like this! EXCELLENT!!!!



You can change everything in the Adminsmenue and JCE works fascinating good!

Great ComBot ! A lot of plugin ! Easy installing ! No CSS Error !



Thanks !

This is easily the best editor I've used for Joomla. My only gripe is that it doesn't work completely with Safari. Link/unlink doesn't function at all, and Insert Image popups are missing critical meta-data on the top of the popups.



I'm not sure if this is a JCE problem or a Safari problem (actually, it doesn't work in OmniWeb either). I use Firefox when editing my page (it works fine with JCE), but Safari is a much more elegant browser (IMHO). I'd love to be able to use it (or OmniWeb) instead.



Fixable?

The JCE Editor is a nice improvement over the core joomla editor and therefore a must install on all my sites. Make sure to pick up the plugins for this component including file manager, image manager, and media manager in order to obtain the full functionality possible. If you have gallery2, there is also a gallery2 plugin to use those images in content.
