I often work with HTML code in my articles, so it's nesessary to me to see, how my articles will look like. But going to control panel to change editor each time when I want to see page code or complite page is wasting of time. With this extension I can switch view of my articles directly during editing, so now I'm using it all time and reccomend it for all.
my default editor is tinymce but I have some module and articles with personalized script and iframe so I need to switch to CodeMirror Editor. With this plugin I can do it on-the-fly.
After install remember to change your default editor to "Editor Switcher" in your admin configuration page.

This program can be very useful as we have many editors today and need to switch between them, but on my Joomla website 2.5.6 this program is not working at all and there is no documentation, and the program also seems quite out dated
I installed editor switcher on a Joomla 2.5 installation.
Enabling the editor and then visiting an article in the administrator site, PHP will fatal-quit because it requires(!) a php-file within the editor switcher directory named like the installed editors.
A quick peek at the code shows it iterating over all installed editor-plugins and require_once()-ing a plg-local file.
Thus, the downloadable package seems 1.) incomplete, 2.) untested.
I also question the concept being used here in general. It means the editor-switcher would require a PHP file for each editor you install. And it will not be able to provide these for custom installed editors or custom editors.

I want you for me to help for a GPL license.
Of course, although I am testing, it cannot test in the environment which I do not know.
Then, please tell me the editor which you have installed, and environment.
In addition, it is only the selected editor that is requiring.
perfect!! just made my life so much easier!! ..set global to editor switcher and you're away! Very well done!
Does exactly what it says that it will do, especially helpful in adding javascript to the pages without having to manually turn off the editor!
This really what I have been looking for! You did a great job. You save us time and life.
i have to work with different editor and i allways boring to close the content and choose another editor with this simple and excellent editor i do my job best
That's a very useful plugin. I thought about coding one myself that does exacly that.
The only problem is there's absolutely no documentation. It took me some time to figure that I need to set my default editor to "Editor switcher". I though a button would appear on the bottom of the editor.

Definitely one of the best plugins I've used yet - fast, easy and works exactly like it says. I use a template component that I love, but doesn't like my favorite editor - so now I can easily swap editors to upload the template and then switch back to JCE for the actual work. Love it, love it!!
Thanks a lot for this little timesaver. A must for every ambitious joomla user and multi editor maniac.
This is neat if you are managing a number of editors across a varied authorship skill level. Some opportunities exist in that:
1) you have to be aware that besides editing the plugin configuration you must also edit each user profile that you wish to have the button.
2) an odd arrangement of additional ACL must be configured inside the plug-in. (The odd part is that this is confusing and perhaps redundant).
But on the whole this adds a great efficiency and usability boost to Joomla editing. Fantastic!
