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.

The best Editor package for Joomla!

I would even propose it replace TinyMCE as the default Joomla editor. It basically removes the need for Image lists and mosimage tags, has a wonderful plugin for flash content and does everything you might want to do in content from the editor.

I had no problems installing this application, which is good considering it was the first application I had in installed in joomla. Very stable and plenty of features and does what it says. Would like to be able to modify templates in joomla though, does this do template modification?

Having tried all the free WYSIWYG editors available, JCE seems to be the most complete one. It does a good job. BUT still A FEW IMPERFECTIONS REMAIN.

Most annoying is the embed media functionality that... simply doesn't work. Not only it doesn't work, but if you want to embed a video typing the HTML code manually, JCE will just strip out your custom code! I had to revert to the non wysiwyg editor to embed the videos in my content!

Neither you can create pop-up window links as some other free editors do.

The image browser is good, but it doesn't let you browse the whole site. You're limited to the Joomla image/stories folder. It would be better to have access to the whole site structure, at least if you are administrator or super administrator.

Despite these few negative points, JCE work well. Apart the embed video problem, I haven't noticed any other major bug. It's also quite fast and efficient.

If you mostly use text + images content on your site, JCE will do the job nicely. If you have more complex content, or want to add some custom code and JCE doesn't like it, you may become frustrated.

Superb. Great. The best.



I had some problems installing it, but it was well worth it!

Fantastic! :D





Only nag I can think of is that I can't figure out how to disable joomlas built in insert picture/link buttons, they sometimes delete all the written text:(

This is so much better than the standard wysiwyg editor. However the main reason I want to use it - easy linking to contents and sections - seems to slow down the link pop-up window by extraordinary amounts. Even so, without using this feature it is still an excellent editor.

The auto resize of images is not good, it's full of bugs as you can see on their forum,. To get the image resize to work normal and automatically, you will have to pay around 20 dollars to get the SE version of their editor. Updating the editor also means uninstalling all and installing everything again.



Due to the incredible poor competition of good editors this one still is the best out there. Beats a lot of payed versions.

But, don't think that it will solve all your problems

I switched to JCE from a commercial editor and I find it far more powerful.



One problem I found is that it likes to rewrite some code. Especially divs. I have not research it yet and I hope to find a solution soon, but otherwise it is great.

This extension is a MUST HAVE! Especially if you allow non-joomla guru's to edit their content (as they will be able to insert images without too much trouble!) Take the time to download this and the plugins, watch the flash tutorials on the dev's website and enjoy editing content once more!!!!



FANTASTIC! Thanks Dev - I have sent you a cyber-beer in a virtual frosty glass!

I should have subscribed to get the advanced versions (SE versions) earlier - it would have save me some hair pulling.



The authors website is actually quite vague on subscribing and the benefits of those versions.
