Thanks for a great extension. Easy configuration to files, images and flash media directories. Also nice feature allowing individual folders for each user.

Been using this excellent editor on all my sites. Thanks again!

Really easy to use. The new implementation of the filemanage really takes this editor to another level.

I had one or two questions and the team were quick to respond to me. For the reasons stated and many others we currently offer this editor as the default editor in all of our Joomla installations.

Great work

I think JoomlaFCK is definitely an upgrade from the stock joomla editor. You guys really put some thought into building this plugin, hats off to you guys. There are a few things that I think could improve, but this does not take from how good this plugin is.
Things I love:
- being able to link to a file
- having formmated code
- having Jlink :)
- relative paths works great
- right click on tables brings up great menu's (only works in IE7 and not FF3 in my experience)
- different skins are fun
- and many more things are great about this plugin.

Things to improve:
- When I do a Jlink, it would be real nice to see a list of articles in the format I see them on the admin side of joomla (title, author, section, category).
- Be able to remove some buttons that confuse users (the picture button for "input" looks just like the other picture button)
- When I click upload tab for images and files it automatically uploads to the root folder (very fustrating).
- files should not be in images folder ex. images/files/doc1.pdf . I should be able to specify a folder.
- after installing JoomlaFCK I no longer am able to use my default media editor.

Hi wingman011, thank you for your review & in depth analyst. We are committed to improving and always pay careful attention to our user’s commentary.
The Good News: is that we are soon to release a component that will offer much of the flexibility requested and version 2.6.3 supports ability to change the location path of documents/ images/& Media files via the plug-in so I hope this comes as a welcomed relief to your frustration.(Please see: http://www.joomlafckeditor.com/support/tutorials/105-changing-the-location-path-of-the-flash-media-and-documents-files)Thanks d:0}

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!
Owner's reply

Hi deck2deck, thank you for your positive contribution & we are delighted that you have found our work a welcomed relief. We are planning to launch 2 new components 1 of them will work in partnership with the latest version of the editor, so we will keep you posted.

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.
Owner's reply

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 !!!
Owner's reply

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!
