Now and again I try out another editor, but I keep coming back to this one! The best one I've ever used so far!
I like this as it seems the best available but still lots of bugs:
Can remove or add scripts from things like {mos maps .. so you have to switch to html mode to edit scripts. Or else you scripts don't work.
Uploads: Stuck in the same folder all the time. Can only upload one file at time, should be a nice fold grab.
Fonts: warning don't think all these fonts will actually appear on your site the same way. I learned this the hard way. Fonts seem to have two varieties of each, arial 10 and arial 10 from a different part of the page are different sizes. You can reelect the same font and size and it will shrink!
Some codes don't appear in the editor such as blockquotes.
Spacing and formatting, often get stuck indented and can't get out unless you go to html mode and enter or
Spell checker, i got burned by this one many times. Because you have to run the checker and it turns of your inline spell check. Even after you run it shuts down and you have to restart it. So be careful you don't miss a lot of spell errors with this editor like i did.

One of the best Joomla editors out there. Using it for many years. Tried many others too, but you allways get back to JCE.
Wish just developer resisted to make it fast. With so many caching, code compressing, cookies, etc....
It bites so fast in browsers that sometimes you almost need to restart PC to be sure som settings you just changed began working.
Let it be slow. It is so advanced, it is not meant to fly.

JCE is the best content editor for Joomla. It allows user to create many profiles for different groups and one of the most important thing is that it gives access to all Joomla resources like menu items or articles and let you easily insert link. It has also nice image manager. It should be Joomla default editor.
I have installed JCE on all my 1.5 site and i am very happy wit it. However trying to upgrade to 1.6 i ran into problems.
After installation i can get 2 *xml error and even tough i see the plugin in the Global configuration after i select the JCE I still get the old standard editor. Maybe I am doing something wrong? Advice, pls?

I love the extension, specifically because I was looking for an editor that had a spell check feature.
Pros: Works really well, easy to use, nice functionality
Cons: Has some issues with Firefox
One suggestion would be to include a note with the installation reminding people to select the new editor under the Global Configuration. This tricked me, and it took a few searches to learn how to enable the editor within my site.
Thanks.

I'm a site builder and I use this extension on all of my sites.
I just installed JCE and was looking everywhere my articles appeared blank when I was trying to edit them.
Ok, I might still be pretty new to Joomla but I never had to switch editors before and I am not the only one who experienced that:
http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?p=2337018
So it would be nice if you could include that "tip" in the installation part of package installation at http://www.joomlacontenteditor.net/support/installation/editor
I just saw now that it is mentioned a the end but since I chose to perform a package install and not a manual one, I saw no obvious reasons to scroll all the way down....
That's a quick fix but that would help more than a few, that's my guess!
Apart from the editor seems to be working just fine!

I'd love to be able to write a rave review but unfortunately, unless I'm missing something obvious, my experience is that I can't even get this installed on a 1.6 system it just hangs when installing (I don't use 1.5).
Following the support links led me to alternate installation methods, all of which supply only 1.5 downloads. The support forum requires me to register and part with cash before I can read it, so the support has failed me before I've got to first base.
Sorry, not impressed, even allowing that the 1.6 version appears to be a beta, and this leads me to the level I had to give it.

If you post in the free Community Discussion forum I'm sure we'll be able to sort your problem out - http://www.joomlacontenteditor.net/forum/6-general-discussion
I'm having the same problem as the previous poster. When using JCE to link to another article, UNCATEGORIZED does not show. However, articles in other categories do.
When you click the + before uncategorized, it does not open. Other than that I like JCE. But this new version for 1.6 is buggy and hope that it can be fixed soon.

This editor is just great! I had (caused) my Joomla installation some problems before installing it, and the developer was more than patience guiding me, adding updates etc.. Not only the best editor around, but a nice guy behind it. At least, that' s what I think.
So thumbs up for JCE editor!

Hello,
Working with JCE have we noticed that it's impossible to use it on FrontEnd.
Maybe because our template uses T3 Framework?
New version of JCK works for us in frontend.
What is the problem with JCE?
Also, when you have lots of folders is really difficult to look at all directories, JCE just have 100 maximum. Would be great to increase or have a jolder insider JCE directories.
Thank you
Jorge

The issue with JCE 2.0 the T3 Framework is a result of a conflict between the JCE 2.0 javascript / css compressor and the T3 javascript /css compressor.
I have contacted Joomlart with a suggestion for a solution to this. Disabling the JCE 2.0 Compression options in the JCE Configuration will allow the two to work together until (if/when) Joomlart adopts the suggested fix.
