I have tested and used other editors looking for JCE. Now that I've found it, I have been using it (and my clients) for over 2 years with excellent results.

After you install JCE, at the bottom of the "success" page we see that the work on JCE is dedicated to his (Ryan's) father.

Ryan, he is proud of you.

JCE is fantastic!

Quality - excellent
Usefulness - excellent
Features - stellar (i.e. beyond excellent)
Configurable - excellent
Ease of installation - excellent

I can't say enough good things about this component and all the useful plugins (especially the latest image manager)

Wish - I wish all the blog components, forum components, and any add-ons that include html entries (e.g. editor text area) would simply allow JCE to create HTML for their application - all users and admins would benefit!

Anyone that uses this component should send a donation immediately. He has single handedly saved hundreds (if not thousands) of people hours-and-hours of time with JCE.

This is a cool bot - Great work.

Just for grins, I tried to use the personalize bot with the rokaccess bot...

{rokaccess !guest}Welcome Back {name}. How can we help you?{/rokaccess}

With this, if a registered user enters the site, the message is displayed, else nothing is displayed.

Everything I read about Joomla and SEF required knowing the .htaccess file, core hacks (scary), ...

I had some time and thought I'd try out sh404SEF. A couple of clicks later - it worked! There are so many options - maybe I'll get to those later. Now lets see if it really matters on the search engines...

BEWARE - some components may not work. For example, after about an hour poking and forum-ing. I found that JCE (my editor of choice) must be changed to work with sh404SEF and Submit Content (or MyContent). The URL setting in the JCE config needed to be changed to absolute URL not relative URLs. That is an example of some tweaking that may be required.

I recommend sh404SEF.

Community Builder is an excellent component, SOBI2 is another excellent component, the plugin just completed exactly what I wanted. I was contemplating building an integrated script to do something like this. But this is much better than I could have developed.

Installation - VERY Easy
Integration - A snap
Customization - lots of parameters

If you use SOBI2 and CB - Down load it right now.

I tried YaNC 8 months ago and was unimpressed. I tried Letterman but couldn't work with the HTML and couldn't get content in easily. I tried YaNC again - and it has very much improved.

After I create a Joomla install. The first component I add is JoomlaXplorer - 'nuf said.

Excellent component!

My only want is in the editor. I want the ability to find a text string, or goto a line, typical editor commands.
