Nice tool, like it better than the default.

Two issues:

The progress bar does not work for me, throwing a javascript error. The offending browser code looks like:

const _DMU_PROGMETER_CONNECTING = 'Connecting';

The second issue is that the component does not validate the ability to upload against the DOCMAN Groups. In my installation, I allow editors and above to submit documents. Registered users are not allowed. Running the DOCMAN uploader, the registered user is not presented an option to upload. With this version, the user is and sucessfully uploads. A quick peek at the code apparently only checks that the GID is not 0.

Good program though. And it looks great with your theme!

I tried it out on my test site. I love it!

However, it is not ready for prime time. Try enabling the bot, then create a new article. You will get a bind error, and you start over (no content). That is, it gives a bind error, clears your into and main fields, and sends you back to the compose screen.

The bot needs to check if there is an existing article ID in jos_content table first, then execute the backup if found.

As it stands now, installing this component/bot will stop new content publishing! :0

I purchased WYSIWYG Pro for use at my website - www.woodwardfamily.org - almost two months ago. I figured a more exhaustive use of the product before sharing my evaluation would make more sense.

Advantages

1. WYSIWYG has the advantage of being able to generate XHTML transitional code.
2. There is the ability to create code snippets in the backend for the front-end person to insert.
3. It will autogenerate thumbnails upon access to a directory
4. It has a nice linking wizard that allows linking to document bookmarks, documents in your directory structure, other articles in your website, or external websites.
5. The tabs at the bottom of each text window make it a snap to see what you type, and the html code the product generates for that type.
6. There is an import feature for Microsoft Word created articles into the editor.


Disadvantages

1. WYSIWYG's image insertion wizard is counter-intuitive. It generates an image thumbnail for you, but does not automatically (or give the option to) select it for inclusion in your article. It also does not offer to automatically creating the linkage from a thumbnail to the main image like other products.
2. The product is not consistent in it's generation. While the product will show centering of a number of paragraphs or images, upon save some of the images or content will appear left justified. Going back into the editor html shows the tagging was not saved.
3. The product import of Word text is very sloppy and inconsistent. It may be written for Office 2000, but does not handle Office 2003 well at all.
4. There is not an option for a "pop-up" in click an image link.
5. The "Preview tab" is useless - it does not display or render javascript or mambot tags (mosimage, jogadgets, etc.)
6. The xhtml generation is messy. It generates a lot of div, div", and nbsp; tags that are not needed.
7. The product does not handle sub or superscripting formatting consistently.
8. The support from the website and the author is horrible. I opened a ticket, got a response from the product creator (I had asked if there was an automatic thumbnail to main image function) that the author would have to respond, and never did until I sent a tickled the company five days later. The response came back a day or two after my tickler.
9. No end-user documentation on the products more complex features. The product assumes the users are technically adept.


Frankly, if you don't need xhtml compliant coding, stick with JCE. This product is not well supported, does not execute its functionality consistently, and not a feature rich as JCE. It would be worth more to the community and for appreciation to the JCE author.

It works well. I actually just linked from the front end to the manager and prepended the manager script with the standard blurb to prevent direct access.

Oh, and Godaddy supports the manager.
