It’s been reviewed as the best out of the box editor for Joomla!. It comes preconfigured & is not dependant upon a 3rd party component to work - which means it simple to install & user friendly to use!
The editor warrants its success by being built upon the highly acclaimed FCK code, which has become adopted by many world class enterprise solutions including Adobe & Oracle.
*** VERSION 2.6.4.1 (Security Release) 14th July 2009 ***
Due to a security vulnerably we are officially releasing 2.6.4.1 and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED upgrading to the latest stable version. The vulnerabilities is found in all implementations of the FCKeditor before version 2.6.4.1. This allows remote attackers to create executable files in arbitrary directories via directory traversal sequences in the input to unspecified connector modules, as exploited in the wild for remote code execution in July 2009, related to the file browser and the editor/filemanager/connectors/ directory.
The good news is that the above has caused us to release before time and therefore includes some welcomed improvement that would otherwise not be available until August.
New Features:
* New Joomlalised dialog light-box skin - brings a professional & integrated look to the editor’s plug-ins.
* Spell Check on Save option - this feature was requested by one of our users on the forums about 3 weeks ago. By default this feature is OFF but can be applied in the plug-in parameters.
Changes:
* Relative file path set as default.
Fixes:
* IMPORTANT SECURITY RELEASE - Multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities - http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-2265
* CSS import Stylesheet – fixed an issue when Importing attributes with speechmarks in the font-family style.
* Flash file plugin – fixed an issue when embedding flash files in absolute mode.
* Spell Check now supported in Safari 4.
* Fixes the browsers information tab.
* Yoo themes light-box gallery plug-in – the editor will allow for empty link tags in the code.

I was looking for a complete editor, easy to use, easy for the rest of my staff to use, no additional plugins needed. I find it works as well as offline word processors, does not add excessive HTML markup, and does not cut out code when I edit the HTML. Unlike someone below, I found no problem with using or resizing images. I can do so much more with text than with the Tiny MCE editor. Now our articles look great!

Excellent editor! Very good file manager. Cut and paste works great and keeps almost 100 percent of the original format. It's worth to try.

Is a Simple and Fast Editor.

As the title states, the JoomlaFCK Editor is now installed and set to the default editor on all the Joomla! sites that I put up for my clients and for myself. Not only is it very "light weight" (that is, it's FAST!) but it does what no other editor does "out of the box":
FITS WITHIN THE CONTENT AREA during a FRONT-END EDIT! :)
No more completely or partially hidden "Save" and "Cancel" buttons! The toolbar reflows to fit the available space. This alone merits the use of the JoomlaFCK Editor over any other. My only issue with it is it's "Link" tool; not quite as intuitive as another "popular editor", but is easily remedied by installing the Linkr extension.
An awesome addition to the Joomla! "toolbox"! :)
Cheers!

I have switch from JCE to FCKeditor and am very happy with this addon. Very flexible, well supported, simple to install and manage and FREE. The addon consist to a simple plugin when JCE require a component and many other dedicated commercial plugin for extend feature like resize picture and upload files. The new Image Manager are great and permit to perform many task on images.
The only thing must be absolutely added for become the real best editor are probably:
-Ability to remove picture from Image Manager because actually when you upload a picture you can not delete them. The only manner are to use default Joomla Media Manager and this is very annoying.
-Ability to change/customize easily the size or thumbnail when a image are uploaded using Image Manager. Actually only 2 size are proposed by default (550x350 and 1000x1000).
-Ability to create popup image using Slimbox or Modal for example. The problem for implement a popup features are probably the fact this require to manage 3 images for generate a popup...That mean if a user upload an image (most probably a picture coming from a camera and so with a big format size like 2000x900 pixels for example) is necessary to set an intermediate image (the one that will be displayed in popup) and so to choose appropriate size and finally a thumbnail where user will click for display intermediate image. Ability also to choose to not keep the original big image can be nice...this for save disk space and avoid useless files.
Anyway this editor are the best one...should be included in Joomla core instead the poor Tiny editor.

This is exactly what i was looking for!
The html code is very simple and clean, yet
the interface allows users to go beyond the simplicity of the html. This will save Developers and regular content editors lots of time!
Thanks!

I have setup and worked on hundreds of Joomla sites using other editors.
This one by far is leagues above the rest.
One very very important feature, you can insert code, scripts like flash and such and it does NOT strip the code... the code works.
Previously we had to go to Global Settings... change the editor, go back insert the code into the article... then save it and go back into global settings and change the editor back.
If you are tired of reading all that, imagine having to do it!
Thank you much for this great editor. Alaskalivedotnet.

Hi Alaskalive, thanks – we invest a lot of time into the project and receive reviews such as yours in a great encouragement!

Great editor which I am using for my personal non commercial site.
Not sure if it is to be classified as non-commercial though as it is only free for non-commercial use.
Not that I don't think you guys should get paid for your great work!! And 32Euros is definitely a very fair price for using it commercially!!!
Keep up the great work

Hi rodpacker, thank you for taking the time to post a review. The editor is free, free for all; free to download for business users and non-commercial users! However, subscription applies for those needed commercial support. You can opted out by choosing Non-Commercial use/Free & you will be granted 1 day to download it. ENJOY(o:b

This editor is powerful and intuitive (for most users of "A Well Known Word Processor From A Certain Evil Empire, Which Shall Not Be Named") but what was most impressive was how quickly the dev team responded to a nasty little surprise thrown them by Firefox's latest version. New patch released, no FTP'ing required, just install and keep on truckin'. You gotta love that.
such a great way to improve the whole experience while writing an article in joomla, easy to use and well coded.
It's impressive the way they used the ms office layout to make it even easier to find the right tool in the toolbar. A+ to this editor.
I like the way i can specify different folders to images and flash files, because its the way i always do.
Download - Install - Enjoy!

Hi clowreed, thanks you for showing your support. We have a specific plugin for embedding fla files which makes it easy to embed fla files. If you have been using the file manager the flash pluign maybe a welcome relief? ALSO - we have a plugin that plays mp3 for version 3.0 of the editor, hopefully we will get around to releasing a beta version soon (o:b.

After reading all these exellent ratings i tried FCK, especially to test the image-editing feature.
First disappointment: Configuring FCK Editor semms only possible by editing js-files (boring)
Second: When resizing images, the original file ist altered. That means, no chance to use the same image in three different articles in three different sizes, you have to create 3 versions of that file (unefficient - Content Optimizer does it better...)
Third: (At least) in firefox 3.0 the popups are to small: you have to resize the window in order to reach the OK-button (ImageManager, New Folder)
Nevertheless a lean and quick install, a well done UI (if you like/use MSO) but still not the cream of the crop at the top of the heap.

(1.) You do not configure the editor by going to the js-files, the configuration for the editor is found by going to the plugin manager, this is how Joomla work for all plugin’s! (2.) You do not use the image editor to change the way in which an article displays an image. While inserting an image simply type in the dimensions within the dialog box. That is how you would insert the same image in a hundred different articles all being the different size. (3.) Tested in FF1.0 to 3.5 and cannot reproduce the same.
This editor is awesome, lightweight, simple in configuration and easy to use. Keep it up!!!

Hi, I am RISHI from Nepal. I'm using joomla for last 2 years. I was using another EDITOR which is also very popular in Joomla. I was very satisfied with that editor. Today i decide to test another editor and read given reveiw of JoomlaFCK Editor and install it in my new site. I found myself in heaven of EDITOR. I am quite satisfied with this editor. I suggest joomla beginners to implement this in your site. This extension works as medicine of headache for newbies.
My one suggestion :::: I tried to install JoomlaFCK Editor directly giving url but there is error because file is compressed with another format that joomla can't install directly. If you place zip format for direct installation it will be very very easy for new as well as all joomla users.
Lastly, congratulation to JoomlaFCK Editor team for the great product.

Hi gautam, thank you for your support & review. We found if the installation file is over 1MB some peoples server’s timeout on installation. Therefore we have chosen to compress the file in .gunzip simply because the compressions rate. Joomla support .gunzip & unpacks it so I can’t see why it couldn’t via url? Thanks
