The Joomla! Extensions Directory ™

I have a list of must install component and JCE is definitely one of them. It is especially helpful for my clients so it's easier for them to update the site for themselves.
I could not do without this extension.
I have been using it for years and never had a problem.

This is one of the few extension that I use in all of my J! sites. Definitely the best editor I've seen so far.

Keep up the good work.

This Should be part of Joomla Core. This editor is THAT much better than the TinyMCE editor Joomla ships with. Because of JCE I hardly never use Media Manager anymore.

JCE has been part of my Joomla toolkit for a few years. The annual subscription is excellent value for money. If your site is about content and you are serious about presenting it accordingly, JCE is a must have.

The component installed fine, but the plugin 1.5.7 had to be installed manually on joomla 1.5.20. Instructions can be found on their website.
After that, everything went fine. A most highly configurable editor. What I liked especially is being able to highly configure the frontend editor to the needs of my client. A must have for Joomla.

Since I started using Joomla, I was disappointed that the editors did not truly work in WYSIWYG. Once I had established in my mind that I had fewer problems working on line this progressed from disappointmnent to issue. I had installed in the JCE Editor to replace TinyMCE and with its capabilities, I was having difficulty as the headers in the editor did not match the headers in the published content. I went back to the JCE Configuration and discovered that I was able to change the style sheet used for the content editor. Yipee! Took a little bit of work but I was able to set up a style sheet for the editor that better matches my published content.

Just go to the JCE Administration>Configuration on the Components menu in Site Administration.

Set the Use Template CSS in the Formatting section to NO

Copy the system editor template from templates/system/css/editor.css to the location specified in the Custom CSS File field in the Formatting section. $template is the default template name.

Modify the new template to match your default template scheme.

It works for me. JCE is better than I originally thought! I learn something new every day.

First rate component, it gets installed on every site I make. Being able to create multiple profiles for different types of user is a killer feature - no more headaches from technically incompetent clients who've butchered their content by trying to get "creative" in the editor.

There's a very good reason this is one of the highest rated WYSIWYGs on the JED, as well as Editor's Pick.

There is not much more of a ringing endorsement I can give than it gets installed on every website I have ever built!

I did not see their inexpensive plugins for this extension for quite some time. They are also indispensable! They are worth every penny and then some.

Generally I would say that I love JCE- I requested it recently on a site I administer. It is way better, more sophisticated then TinyMCE. However their support is frustrating to say the least. I'm having a peculiar issue with the background of my template loading into the editor and typestyles being completely ignored. I'm sure the answer, should I find it, will be simple, but I have no way to find it unless I buy support. That, I think, is unfair.

Good editor etc. but have you ever tried to uninstall this extension? I tried and with the outcome that my browser returns a blank page when trying to edit an article and VirtueMart complains about a missing editor.

Re-installing (with the latest release) of course makes editing possible again.

Isn't it suppose to revert back to the default editor?

I needed an editor that could let me browse to internal links (Tinyeditor doesn't) and would highlight html tags in different colours, while also being a wysiwig editor. JCE works great. I nearly got rid of it though, because it was stripping out my in-page google adsense ads and amazon ads and I found it difficult to ascertain why. The forum support brought up no answers, except perhaps some posts that I would have to pay as a subscriber in order to read. Luckily in the end on this joomla forum I discovered how to allow javascript - JCE is now working perfectly for my needs.

I was looking for a better editor... and JCE is it. It has lots of configuration options, which can be a little overwhelming at first, but they pack a mighty punch. My editor search is complete... using JCE.

Absolutely the best editor for any CMS I have seen so far. Great work!

Love this extension! One of the great features is the link editor as well as the formatting pallet for adding images. Very cool!

A very nice editor, much better than TinyMCE. Rich with many options for formatting texts.

I'd problems with tinymce on a component. The developer suggested me to use JCE and it was the best hint he could give me.
JCE is much better than tinymce. I share my experience with the community and suggest using this editor to prevent conflicts.

This is simply the best out there. I've gotten the most positive feedback from end-users using this editor. The other editors out there are good as well but this one is just solid through and through with it's features and capabilities. Keep up the great work.

When I started using joomla, I thought what is the need for any other editor when there is one already provided by Joomla. That's because I always prefer to use default components rather than using 3rd party ones..

But there is one problem with the default editor..
It wants your HTML cade to start with either or no other tag seems to work (not even )! And that was really giving me headaches. because at most occasions there would be too much blank space above your content to your linking.

I then tried to find out the best Joomla editor and everyone recommended JCE so I gave it a go.

And it worked straight out of the box. There were no more or tags. The code remained what you intend it to be. Add to that a smarter interface and you get a very comprehensive editor in JCE..!!!

Good work guys..!!! And a BIG HUG for keeping it Open-Source.!!!
As they say.."Best Things in Life are FREE..!!!"

I used this editor and then tried to go back to the original Joomla! editor and ... no way ... The interface is so much easier to use.

While I love the functionality of this component I've noticed that it considerably slows down load times on the entire joomla installation.

At 1st I was ok waiting 10-15 seconds for the editor to load in the back end, I figured it just takes a bit for all the rich functions to load. I was using this editor for about 3 weeks and I started noticing that page loading on the front end is considerably slowed down as well.

I made a template for a customer, uploaded no problems and I figured instead of editing each article in dreamweaver or typing out all the code I can shave off some time by using all the functions JCE provides. Load times trippled, and sometimes pages would just load forever. Since there was no other components installed by process of elimination JCE was responsible. I uninstalled it and load times are now near instantaneous, as they should be for a simple article layout.

I went back and removed the component from other web sites I've used it and all sites showed a considerable improvement on loading times.

Quite unfortunate since this offers a lot of flexibility while working with joomla. They structure and layout of the editor is brilliant but I can't afford to sacrifice such long loading times on the front end.
