I am two days into Drupal, and am trying to install a wsiwyg editor.
TinyMCE stays it is no longer the editor. Another one I like used to be free but changed its name and now costs $380 for the license.
I couldn't find any others that were not beyond my ability to install, except Nicedit. I like all its features, and it shows up as installed and as my editor, and I enabled buttons, etc. But when I open up a PAGE or some other way to add content, no editor shows up. Is there a step I am missing?
Any help is very much appreciated - even if it is to suggest another editor.
Thank you,
Peggy Carpenter

Peggy, Did you install the
Peggy,
Did you install the WYSIWYG module yet (http://drupal.org/project/wysiwyg)?
Once that is installed you can navigate to http://YOUR-WEBSITE/admin/config/content/wysiwyg and read the directions about how to install the editor of your choice.
TinyMCE is my go-to editor and it works quite well with the WYSIWYG module.

Thanks Andrew, just checked TinyMCE and it looks awesome! When you say it integrates "quite well" .........?
I notice the "libraries" are not listed in alphabetical order, implying a preference by Drupal? openWYSIWYG is number one on the list. Have you experience of any of the other ones listed?
Hello talvi, I have not tried
Hello talvi,
I have not tried openWYSIWYG. I've used CKEditor and TinyMCE. I prefer TinyMCE but I'll have to try openWYSIWYG and see how it works out.
Thanks for replying - TinyMCE
Thanks for replying - TinyMCE looks good. I'd really like something that kept it all "in house" but maybe that's technically impossible.
