The Joomla! Extensions Directory ™

I have used JCE for years in my projects. It's so much better than the built-in Joomla content editor. But it's always been buggy. And recently it's become unusable. The old bug that killed me was switching between WYSIWYG and HTML views would wipe out any changes you made to the article. I learned to get around that one. But recently the Link Editor has completely stopped working. When ever you click on one of the trees in the link editor to create a link, Menus or Content, etc. it never opens. You just see the daisy wheel spin and spin forever. No error, no message, just dead. I don't know if it's Joomla 2.5 or JCE 2.2.1.1 but the greatest single add-on for Joomla has died on me. I hope it gets fixed, because there is really nothing like it out there. Hands down, it was the best.

I used this Editor a lot and I fully recommend it. It's functionality is awesome and for everyone easy to manage.

Although I was searching for a possibility to include SWF-Files to the website I am working at. Although this is possible with JCE, you have to pay for this extra Plugin.

As I was working on a project with no financial revenue, I have to find cheaper ways for website construction as I don't want to afford payments for Flash-Insertion.

Other than that this Editor is very good. But if you want full functionality you have to either pay for it or look for another editor.

First, in 5 years this is only the second review I've written. I have no problems with Joomla!
I've used JCE for years. Until the J2.5 was available I had no issues. JCE developers have tried to re-create things to a point where there are TOO many bugs. I've put up with a lot of the "tweaks" that JCE did to the editor, and those that "I" had to make in the software in order that it works. This new version leaves a lot to be desired, although "some" aspects are quite nice. But basic functionality suffers greatly just to get something new to function.
There was an update just today for JCE. No problem. I allowed the update and went back to work.
I've just lost 2 weeks worth of article writing because the latest update of JCE combines shift+a as "Select All". WHAT?!!! Who wants that option?! I can't make a capital "A" now?!
The first time I noticed the shift+a selected everything I was astounded and thought I'd done something wrong. I made sure I had everything saved and moved on.
The second time that happened I knew it wasn't me and went into the settings and tried to find where I could turn off the keystrokes. The only thing I could find was "Typography" for the "Enter" key.
I "had" to get the articles written and didn't have time to deal with uninstalling or trying to contact JCE, so I continued.
Immersed in writing I tried to make a capital A while on page 4 of a 4 page document - yes, the entire document was highlighted in one swift move. I type around 65 wpm. So the moves I made 'after' shift+a deleted the entire article! It wasn't the first time today that I've had it happen, but the last time (out of 4) wiped out my entire document and I have nothing now. There is no way to retrieve the document because the page moved up and the moust to the "Apply" and before I could click somewhere else the document saved the blank page.
WHO's idea was that to update JUST TODAY and include shift+a as the select all shortcut?! The editor didn't do that prior to today's update!
I know it was just today because the update was just today while I was in the midst of writing another article.
I can't complain at the JCE site because I'd have to purchase a membership in order to post in the forum.
??!!
In the last 2 months I've watched the updates and they have all been horrid. Highlighting all similar code when I select one bit of code in source view?!
Completing my tags for me in source view when I haven't typed my content?!
DON'T do the work for me, JCE. If I wanted an automated system I would be using Dreamweaver! I've been writing my own code in Notepad since 1998.
I can only hope that JCE contacts me personally in the next 24 hours - before I stay angry enough to start posting my feelings in other venues. Unless JCE can figure out a way for me to get back my 4 pages, I'm through with JCE!!!

Very good editor, people should start appreciating extensions especially non-commercial versions because creating one really takes alot of work and research

This editor deletes any javascript code automatically. Isn't there at least one editor out there for Professionals?

Surely the best out there, simple and complete!!

JCE is the premium choice for everyone who wants an easy and powerful editor for Joomla. Great!

Fantofantastic!!!! superb plugin..built people are awesome.

This is definitely the best editor for Joomla, in my opinion it should be part of the core by default.

The best Joomla WYSIWYG editor available. A lot of useful options and I really like the image editor. Good!

The editor is brilliant, has a lot of features, and a lot of settings, to make it very light or very complex.
The support forums has recently been reduced, so only subscribers can report bugs and problems, and that is problematic.
There is no proper way of reporting a bug now, unless you buy the subscription.
That costs a star in the grade for the editor.

using it for awhile... excellent. pure ten!

Thank you for your job! JCE is the best editor for Joomla. Works right from the box, easy to understand and have all needed functionality.

Excellent! Can do everything from the front end. No need to create or edit an article from the back end.

enormous number of possibilities for customization.
doesn't offend with other extensions. a must have for everyone.

I just jumped to Joola 2.5 and started to teach my self again, do you want to avoid the headache of having to switch from tinyMCE to None just to insert a video from Joomla? install JCE, way better than having to buy tylenol. Thank you guys!

I've been using this extension for years now. Like!!!

The best! Thanks for the developer team

This is by far the BEST editor in Joomla. Makes editing so much easier with this extension. A must have addon for Joomla that I add immediately to all new Joomla sites I make. Many thanks for a great free extension.

I use this extension in every website I create and for every costumer, it's really complete and now with the latest version for Joomla 2.5 is pretty awesome!
