RE: Wysiwyg Editor - PaulD - 08-15-2015

I have had issues with CKEditor in the past and avoid it now, although perhaps I shoud try it out again sometime.

Summernote (http://summernote.org/) is a great little JQuery plugin. Very easy to use and configure, and seems to behave well on all browsers. I usually default to that these days. It does quite a good job at keeping the code clean too, but like all these things if you edit it too much the actual code becomes an atrocious mess.

Best wishes,

Paul.

Hi, 

Although IgnitedCMS is a full content manager the rich text editor is very similar to summernote, you can pull out the code relevant to yourself.

Here is an example of my rich text editor in action, on my page builder page. Like I said it's free to use licensed under MIT, and is much more powerful than your standard wysiwyg editors, because it is all drag and drop, for that reason alone it is far superior than anything that exists out there in the market. But then of course I would say that being the developer Wink

You can always try an install on your local machine if you want to play around with it. There are a lot more features planned.

Not free, but very clean, modern and functional. Regularly updated as well. Just as long as you don't need full HTML templates in it, as it doesn't support <html>, <body> etc. tags (I found out the hard way).

That's a nice editor! But there's not a lot of info on their site about pricing. Do you need to pay every year? Do you have access to download updates?

Wysiwyg editors are always a pain to use, but if this one works well it's worth the price!

It's a one-off payment and you full access to it forever (including updates). I think the support is a yearly thing though, so if you purchase a license which has support, it will expire after a year.

I'd say you'd be able to purchase another year of support after that for a reduced rate, but I haven't needed it before.

Thank you for the info! It's good to know they don't fall for the subscription model scam... Big Grin
