I've tried everything else: FCK, JCE, TME, but none of them have impressed me particularly. The worst thing has been the hyperlinks headache. The brilliant thing with this is the ease with which you can link to articles and add file links - exactly what I needed. FCK is supposed to have a similar facility, but it never worked for me, nor I could I ever get JCE to integrate properly with DOCMan as it claimed to be able to do. This was worth every cent. Can't comment on the quality of support, but the best thing is not needing any! That's almost a first for me with Joomla.

Installation is messy and tedious - but it will work if you follow the instructions provided in one of the early reviews (at least it did for me). The documentation is dreadful. The author clearly has a dismal grasp of English grammar. Witness this gem:

"Some of you might don’t want to allow your content providers to publish their content items into the access levels that their group don’t have or you might want to allow them to publish their content items into certain access levels only therefore only viewable by certain of user groups."

Err... right. So now it's all clear! I guess at least it has a manual.

As for whether or not it does what it's supposed to, well, the jury is out. I have a few extensions in my Joomla! site, so I'm not sure if they are creating interference, but so far, I can't configure my access rights so that they work. All I want is to give registered users the right to add articles in one particular category, but no others. Should be simple, right? Apparently not, even though the steps for creating the relevant permissions appear at first blush to be pretty straightforward.

I'm praying it will come together and I won't have to endure the tedium of the uninstall process!
