Less buggy than the default.

Loaded with addons and easy to configure just how you like it.

Just wish it had it had an uploader for images...

Allup though I recomend to everyone still using the defult.

I have downloaded all the other WYSIWYIG editors and this is absolutely the best one I've used. I love it. As long as you follow the installation instructions, it is a cake-walk.

Great job guys!

I have been messing around with CMS sites for a while and having to deal with shoddy editors.. JCE is the best of the best! I cannot belive how well it works.. I am pretty tough when it comes to giving feedback, but when something works this well, I have no choice I have to write something good about it..

Thanks!

Finally, I have found a wysiwyg editor for Joomla that works with the Mac version of Firefox, not so with Safari, but that's okay. Sometimes the smiles window and color picker come up blank. Otherwise, it just works.

This is by far the BEST editor available.
Compliant code output, simple to use, ease of plugin creation & updating, full admin control, it cleans up MS Word content & more.

the ONLY glitch i found was that if you have an empty tag, it deletes it, so U combat by adding a in the middle.

Awesome work, and brilliant interaction from the developer on his forum. Donate some money and promote this one, enjoy!

I haven't had too much opportunity to play around with this yet, but it looks very powerful.

Actually the main reason for writing this review was to correct the guy before me, who said that this component was no longer free. That is incorrect. The component itself is still free, however support for users is now on a subscription basis, due to the developers high cost of bandwidth, which seems fair enough to me.

The support for streaming video plus the image manager makes this a HUGE step up from TinyMCE editor. Highly recommended.

Regarding installation issues - it took me a while to get Joomla to recognise JCE as my new editor of preference. Strangely enough after I'd set it as default in global preferences, unpublished both standard editors and checked that configuration.php noted that the editor was indeed JCE, Joomla was still showing TinyMCE (even though I'd unpublished it). The only resolution was to individually go into user menu, select myself, and set default editor that way. I don't believe this is a bug on JCE's part, but rather Joomla.

Great features, no longer free(fair enough for me will cost $10-$15 dollars), stable many plug ins. Support for flash, media, wmf, animations, mpeg and format support. The only thing missing here is a spell checker. Don't look anywhere else, save your time and your money too. Works better with firefox 1.X rather than IE 6.XX.

This tool actually doesn't need any review.
Just install it, add the plugins for image management and advanced links and I'm pretty sure you won't feel the need for any other editor.

Fantastic extension!

I discovered a bug: when you copy and paste content from one table cell to another, the cell that you leave empty needs some content, a space will do, else something goes wrong.

This is indeed a well thought out editor. It is almost as good as wysiwyg pro or TMEdit (formerly HTMLArea3 XTD) however, it is still very buggy. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. After installing it on several sites with mixed results, I gave up and bought the wysiwyg pro. All the aggrevation wasnt worth my time -- it was cheaper to just spend the money on something that REALLY works ALL OF THE TIME!!

A couple of bugs: The new menu system doesn't display on multiple lines when using the DocMan front end.

With IE, it sometimes fails to load completely, but I haven't had problems with FireFox.

There is nothing better if you are importing media -- I can show my dog how to use it in 3 minutes. Granted, he's a smart dog, but...this tool is fool-proof.

I must admit that I like JCE editor. It is the first free editor to get tables to work to my satisfaction. I love the link dialog and the image dialog.

Only one bug - It has difficulties if you use the iJoomla Magazine Component. I could not get it to work on one element - adding Editions. Workaround is to swap editors before doing it, and so it is only a minor, but irritating, thing.

Other than that it appears to do as it says..

I have deployed JCE on 5 production sites and have no complaints from users so far. I haven't come across the bugs that other reviewrs mentioned. The ability to totally customize the interface is powerful and the advanced link manager in great.

Yea I got to agree, it rocks.

I had trouble with tiny mce as you have to load images into a media manager...then port them across. ...why?

JCE has an image manager module, a flash module and a file upload module. If you install these then users can upload their images onto the site direct. You can also disable this feature if you want to!
