Because CKEditor is licensed under flexible Open Source and commercial licenses, you'll be able to integrate and use it inside any kind of application. This is the ideal editor for developers indented to provide easy and powerful solutions to their users.
CKEditor vs. Word
CKEditor is not a desktop application like Microsoft Word or OpenOffice. It's a component to be used by developers to enhance their applications. It's an editor to be used inside web pages.
CKEditor and FCKeditor
FCKeditor has been around for more than six years. Since 2003 it has built a strong user community becoming the most used editor in the market, accumulating more than 3,5 million downloads. On 2009, we decided renaming the editor, bringing to the light our next generation solution: CKEditor 3.0.
CKEditor inherits the quality and strong features people were used to find in FCKeditor, in a much more modern product, added by dozens of new benefits, like accessibility and ultimate performance.

It has good functionality, but uploading images is not good at all. I'm not able to list directories on server, and I don't see images located on the server, nor uploading works from Ajex FileManager.
Other functionality seems to work fine, but images...

Very good plugin. I have tried almost all the editors and use the JoomlaFCK for a while, but this last version has some bugs so I change to CKEditor and for now no bugs and works great. Thank you

Looks great, but I can't get it to play nicely with IE6. Yes I know - "who still uses IE6?"! But we have IE6 in our organisation's standard operating environment for another few months yet.
What version of the parent ckeditor.com is this joomla extension built on?
I note that ckeditor.com have now released 3.0.1 which is IE7 & 8 compliant. Has anyone done any work to get this J extension up to the 3.0.1 version of the parent?
Thanks,
DANIEL...

I want to use this plugin as a replacement for JoomlaFCK which has been my WYSIWYG editor of choice. CKEditor installed easily and looks fine.
But I found significant problems with its handling of articles with even quite basic html structures (such as div). Also the image upload simply does not list images in folders that have subfolders. Adding custom templates is also very ugly compared to FCK.
I've done my share of looking for solutions, but I know end users will get into all sorts of difficulty with it in the state I tried. So for now I'm sticking with FCK.

First:
Congratulations to this new lightweight CK-Editor. There is a big need for such an editor that produces valid, semantic correct html-code in the frontend.
I have specialized on building barrier free websites, also WCAG 2.0 Single A to Triple A compatible.
All the other editors (JCE, tinymce, FCK) are not really ready to be used on websites who should be accessible. They offer to many options for the editors to produce wrong, not w3c-valid code.
Thats what I really like about the CK-Editor. I figured out how to modify the toolbars to only add specific formating options like "Bold", "blockquote" etc. to limit these editor options to only the options that are useful. No coloring needed, no tables, no form elements, etc...
Well this was the positive feedback. Now lets come to some really important features that are missing when it comes to accessibility.
First of all and most important is to implement formatting options for the following html-Tags:
FBI
LoL
english term
Abbreviations, Acronyms and the possibility to markup different language-strings in text (DE, EN, etc..) is essential (!!) for building accessible websites.
That`s what is missing at most of all the other editors! I really hoped to see this as standard feature already implemented in the CK-Editor and was very dissapointed to find out that it is not.
If you really want to focus on accessibility, the implementation of these tags (abbr, acronym, lang) should be top-priority imho.
Forget about all the flamers who cry for more features. They can use another editor if they need all these unneccessary fuzz like coloring text etc...
Please concentrate on the accessibility-features and most of all on the semantic correct, frontend-output. An accessible editor is what is most needed for the joomla community!

Installed no problems, works good. even from front end. Had no troubles with uploading images with it. keep up the good work.
byDavidBoggitt on October 10, 2009
A fabulous editor in every way, but it doesn't yet support relative image paths, so if a site gets transferred from localhost to the live server, the image paths break. When they fix this (or at leave give an option for relative image paths), I'll be a fan!!

P.S. I have contacted the developers...

I tried several editors and this beats all of them. Easy to use, menus are not complicated, and the output is great. This is a great program. It would be nice if it had some basic graphic editing functions. Keep up the good work!

I downloaded it and got it working ten mins or so AFTER I installed it from the directory as it wouldn't come in by the 'Browse and install".
For me, there are far too many choices with the buttons most unecessary.
Image upload, which is what I want and it was mentioned it would be the same and as simple as Wordpress - it isn't
Image upload really needs to be as simple as Wordpress with the option to custom OR even Automatic thumbnail and sizing to fit within article.
Thought it was the answer to my search but it ins't - for me to give users this much choice they will create messy looking pages/articles.
The plus is it's simple to get working.

I was searching for a good editor. I have tried around 10 editors from here and none of the editors supported image uploading from local desktop similar to wordpress.
I have found this and installed it, brilliant it's structure is similar to wordpress and no more worries about uploading images manually, this editor takes care of everything.
Hats off to the developer :)

It's a nice editor, and looks like office so it is easy to use it
other good thing is the amount of languages supported in this editor, but I found it's hard to insert an image....
1- when I uploaded an image, the preview didn't work until I deleted an extra ( / ) from the path of the uploaded image, and that could be hard to the regular users
2- I couldn't fond the uploaded images (I mean from the frontend), only the images in the basic folder (images/stories) but not the images that I uploaded using the editor
excuse me for my bad English
thank you
