This is a MAJOR time saver! The Custom HTML module which ships with Joomla doesn't play nicely with JCE (my main editor) or maybe it's the other way round. To enter code in the module I have to swap out of JCE into "No editor" (yes, I HAVE "strip HTML" set to off).
This awesome little extension is a Godsend!! Thanks you, thank you, thank you!

Such a simple little tool that saves a whole lot of headaches. I always felt an editor switcher should have been implemented into the Joomla! core package but with excellent 3PD extensions like this, it's not necessary. I use a combination of two editors, and occasionally no editor at all, and this tool has made switching between them quick and simple.
I love it! I change the editor while i'm editing an article and it's changed as soon as i refresh the page. No more going to the Global Settings. I'll add this to my list of "must have" extensions and all my projects. Would be even better if it worked in the Front End Article Submission Layout.
Thanks a lot!
Thanks a lot!
This is a good addition to the administrative interface.
One problem relates to WysiwygPro. It has additional plugins that are necessary to operate the editor but aren't used day-to-day. The drop down menu lists everything, including the "DO NOT USE" plugins.
The issue does not occur for TinyMCE or JCE.
Other than the WysiwygPro annoyance, this is a good component.

Sorry, we don't have WysiwygPro here to verify, but it seems more an editor misuse of the Joomla framework than a bug of our component.
They use an human readable string ("DO NOT USE") in the element title to let users never choose their plugins... but this is not the right way of working!
This is how we get the list of the editors: "SELECT element,name FROM #__plugins WHERE folder = 'editors' AND published = 1"... exactly in the same way used by the Joomla API to find the list of the editors...
Thanks alot for this cool tool. Make working much easier!

New 1.1 version, AJAX based, should be easier than before!
Awesome. Worked like a charm in under a minute. No need for two admin accounts, to avoid having to change editor settings. Hopefully this will be integrated into Joomla later on. Thanks!
