This approach suggests that design should respond to the user’s behaviour and environment based on screen size, platform and device. With the newly designed dialog screens the editor now offers support for the new IOS 6 file upload which wasn’t possible in Safari until now!

We've taken the Editor to the design shop and married creative and technical disciplines into a truly beautiful and user-friendly interface. Your find it easier to use, more productive, a tool which aims to put the user in the driving seat.

★CUSTOMIZABLE INTERFACE
Everyone likes to edit their own way, so we’ve made it easier to adjust the JCK interface. Re-arrange, organize, add or remove buttons or change the colour of the skin in the editor’s parameters.

★SUPER-FAST PERFORMANCE
Fasten your seatbelt the API engine has always been fast, but this is the fastest ever! It gives the editor dramatically better performance than ever before which means, web editing will feel snappier and more responsive. It’s astonishingly 18x times faster at loading than the JCE Editor – having only a tiny memory footprint, so users can work faster and be more productive! But hey - if you don't believe us, why don't you give it a try and see how fast you can go?

★STATE-OF-THE-ART INTEGRATION
Its much more than an out-of-the-box installation of the CKeditor! We’ve been under-the-hood and joomla-ised its logic into a seamless and extendable integration. Users can now choose what plug-ins, tool-bars and shape its architecture in all sense of the word - with ease!

★LARGEST PLUGIN REPOSITORY
Plug-ins are the cornerstone of customisation, letting you personalize your editing experience. These apps can be used to quickly and simply expand the functionality of the editor and with the largest growing extension base of all Joomla editors, you'll be able - to do much more…

★MANAGE YOUR FILES IN ONE PLACE
Upload images and files, view thumbnails in one place without needing to navigate away! It doesn’t stop there as Joomla! user groups can have their own personal folders, which can be used in a verity of ways! For storing online documents, for nested folders, for relative links to media, flash, electronic documents and image files. The best part is its simplicity - it’s useful, fun, totally

Genuinely user friendly and does exactly what it says on the tin! And for that reason I had to stop by and give a thank you to the developers. Thank you!!

Why didn't I start with this one to begin with? After months of struggling with formatting content (using the default editor), I finally decided it just wasn't worth my time to keep monkeying with it and gave in -- and downloaded an extension. I had been reluctant to use ANY extensions because my site is huge and has a lot of customization -- I didn't want to break anything and have to find a fix or -- worse -- start over. Anyway, I started with JCE which was great but this one is tons better!!! I'm not sure why it doesn't also have the Editor's Pick designation but I certainly recommend it! AND I hope this developer makes other extensions for joomla! Thanks and keep up the great work!

This is simply the best editor I've used online WYSIWIG editor I've ever used, and I don't mean just for Joomla. Excellent plugin, excellent work. Keep it up.

Hi VTecheira, thanks for your encouragement. You comment finds the project in its most interesting season! Without saying to much version 2.6.3 is our biggest release because it architecture places an essential launch pad in the projects next evolutionary step forward. It’s about to get even better!

This editor looks splendid. All menu's and buttons are just clear. Biggest disappointment is the file upload. Although the backend has options to specify the upload directory, it always defaults to the root of the webserver. This is enough for me to drop this extension. Alternatives I consider are JCE. The uploads can be configured to be restricted to a certain user directory. Second minus is that I had to edit a config.php file to enable the upload at all. So too many bugs for me.

Hi blaap, I’ve just searched through our forums & was unable to find any recently forums reported of the same! I did find your username & noticed that you have yet to post or report any bugs! If you do, we will of course look into it for you on Monday.

This is a really amazing extension. Fast and easy to use. However, since version 2.6.3, it won't show on editing page for Joomla 1.0.x (fine with 1.5.x,believe me, I've tried out every possible solutions that I can find). Why? As a result, I have to stick with 2.6.1. I feel very bad about that. Have you guys tested it before releasing the two-in-one installer? I think it is better to separate the installer into two versions. Whatever, thanks again even sticking with 2.6.1...
Owner's reply

Due to changes in version 2.6.3 some user have experience a blank screen. This is because the browsers has cache old JavaScript & PHP code and therefore the screen appear blank. All users need to do is clean out there old cache file to allow the new JavaScript & PHP code to load correctly. Thanks for the vote

Editing documents was not a happy experience until I discovered FCK. What impresses me about these guys is how on top of things they are. Take the leap and enjoy the benefits. If you like what you see send them a little support. Dead easy to install works as advertised. Support is there if you need it.

This is the best editor there is. Period.

Now, with the ability to link in documents, PDFs, as well as their built in article linking - it puts it a league ahead of the Joomla system itself, as these are all things that really should be standard in Joomla.

5 stars to the developers here .. and keep up the good work!
Owner's reply

Well this is officially the best review we have every had, ha ha! When you think about it, users spend more time interacting with their editor’s interface that any other Joomla! extension. So it makes sense to place documents management tools at hands reach.

I haven't heavily tested but so far, so good. Others always have issues when installing right away. This one worked out of the box. This is great guys!
Owner's reply

Hi ideasgirl, thanks you. - The next release (version 2.6.3 that we hope to have with you by today) promises to be even simpler to install. We have worked hard to do away with corresponding files for Joomla! 1.0x & 1.5x by creating ‘ONE’ installation file for both versions.

I’ve been a JCE user looooong time now, thought it must be the best cos it the Editor Pick, right?
After reading the several positive reviews I downloaded the JoomlaFCK editor and was surprised how's fast, reliable, and feature rich it is. The interface is beautiful and a delight to use !

So here’s the facts: - JCE is Good but the JoomlaFCK is better !!!

Thanks, I’m sure your comment will be of interest to many JCE users.

I don't know why other editors get higher rankings than this one, but FCK is EFFEN Awesome!
Owner's reply

Well that's my thought exactly, but enough said! Since last 2007 we have work relentlessly on the project & it has seen a radical set of improvements! Maybe it the case that users have become devoted to using a particular editor & have yet to try it out? Anyway thanks mallamace for your support. Much appreciated!

On the basic editor initially supplied with Joomla, although a table could be done, carrying out formatting to create borders seemed to be a missing element. With JoomlaFCK, I had the same initial problem until I had a eureka moment of creating and formatting the border arrangement as I wanted using Word. I then copied and pasted and things look so much better. It dawned on me that there was a paste from Word facility built into the editor.
Thanks for the editor, I can rest easier having a better finish using borders. I know it can all be done with HTML and CSS, but it is a lot less hassle copying and pasting from Word.
Owner's reply

THE GOOD NEWS! The next release (version 2.6.3) will go further to assist your requirements! It will allow users to apply borders styles to tables simply by using the iStyles tool!
Thanks for your vote! Delighted to hear that copying & pasting from Word works for you!

I have recently migrated to Joomla! for PHP-Nuke. Being a fan of the FCK editor my natural choice was to choose a Joomla! equivalent. Wow, very impressed! I have to say, this is the best implementation of the FCK editor I have seen!

The design and interface is slick and well organised which makes it a pleasure to use. The Installation went perfectly, seams very stable in IE7 and FF3, everything works and it's FREE!

5 stars - excellent extension!

An excellent and well thought-out Editor

Although I’m quite new to Joomla I’ve used many WYSIWYG editors in the past – written quite a few myself as well – and JoomlaFCK is an excellent and well thought-out Editor.

For me, an editor that you can use without having to think too much, or one you don’t have to create workarounds by hand re-coding all the HTML the editor misses or messes up is a good editor in my book. FCK fits that bill nicely and the interface has a nice look too which is important too.

Compatibility is good. I think I noticed a couple of issues in IE7 surrounding Image Properties which meant I had to use flick into FireFox – but that’s no drama for me.

Excellent choice overall. Great job WebX!!
Owner's reply

Hi spangle, Thanks really appreciate your comments. I am not currently aware of any IE7 issues surrounding Image Properties. Could I kindly invite you to elaborate a bit more on our forums and we will look into it for you.
Take care.

Fabulous editor. Some functions do not work or do not work on all browsers, but VERY GOOD otherwise. Cannot inform authors, see complaint below.

Like many others, I had trouble with the file manager portion of the product. I was getting "Premature End of Script Files" or some such XML error. Research on the web-site revealed no solution. Research on Google led me to the solution, for me. It appears there are different line-endings in some parts of the code. Installing from a Windows box to a Linux box produced faulty files. As a last result, I installed from Windows to Windows, and then FTPed the files to the server. Almost all functions now work just fine.

Complaint: their web-site refuses to allow me to login. I have tried several times over several months to reset password, etc, to no avail. Actually, this seems to be a Joomla fault -- I've seen it myself on my site. If it were not for highly motivated users, many of mine would never get on and I would never know. THERE NEEDS TO BE A "CONTACT US" MENU ITEM on every web-site, so problems can be reported.
Owner's reply

As I understand it both Safari & Opera are working hard to resolve some of their rich text editing support. Advancement needs to be addressed on both sides and so we presently claim 85% compatible with Safari & Opera. We are soon to release the latest Joomla! implementation of the FCK code, in which we will go as far as possible to address some of these compatibility issues for you. ****NOTE: Our ‘Contact Us’ form can be found under the 'Get involved!' menu item on our website. Would you be so kind to email us & I will look into why the system has banned you. Thanks & take care.

Excellent improvement (2.6) - however, if you use Firefox - be sure to disable Firebug on the site that this is loaded or the editor will not work properly.

In Safari, you still cannot right click an image and get the edit image options... it thinks that you are in the text and not on the image.

In Safari, the popup for inserting images and links does not work. Just shows a cancel button in the upper right hand side and clicking it does nothing.
Owner's reply

Hi The_Mastermind, I did notice that the 1st compatible Firebug version for FF3 kept refreshing the page a bit, I didn’t consider or think it might be the editor! However i’m not getting this anymore! Maybe it was resolver when Firebug was last updated? Thanks for your input & engorgement, I think I have answer your comment in the post above. Take care.

I used JoomlaFCK before and it was a tremendous help when working in contents.

Later it had something that was showing errors and by urgency I had to switch to JCE.

Now I checked that there was some fixes done, and it's great again. JCE is good but it doesn´t have flash uploader free.

Thanks for your work! I like very much this mambot.
Owner's reply

Thanks jesuscam,
The next release which will be version 2.6.3 will offer relative path to both flash & images items! This should allow JCE user who use relative image paths to simply migrate across & still be able to view their images in the editor.
God bless ya!
