Easily to install, nice extension

I had a problem using the JCE editor and the default path setting, so I emailed Ryan.



He got back to me within the hour with suggestions on how to properly use the component.



Well, I still managed to find a way to screw it up, so I made a little video of the problem and emailed Ryan a link.



He watched the video and promptly emailed me back the reason for my issues.



See, I was trying to set the default path to the root directory. Well, you can't do that, for security reasons.



If it wasn't for Ryan's quick response, I would have wasted hours trying to figure that out.



As it is, I changed my default directory and all is well.



Thanks for the quick response Ryan! Sadly, I don't get that kind of response from commercial software.



Keep up the great work!

I've used this Editor in the past and LOVE IT!



HOWEVER...the current PLUGIN for 1.5 will not install. There is a temporary "fix" that's been issued. But it is not working for all.



Developer promises a permanent fix in the "next few weeks."



So if you're on a deadline or time crunch, might want to look elsewhere until this gets resolved. Hopefully soon.

What can I say? The editor itself is awesome, the price is free and only $20 with the add ins, and the support is the best I have ever seen on any software product.



I was elated tonight when Ryan helped me configure JCE so that my built in Firefox spell checker worked!



I can't think of any reason NOT to use JCE as your default editor.

This should be the default Joomla editor - it adds so much simplicity and functionality to your Joomla site. Well worth paying for a subscription to get the extra plugins, too - File Manager, Image Manager and Media Manager.

This editor goes far beyond "brilliant"! It works, it has groups, it has custom buttons, it has designable button rows for each group, it is very powerfull, creating nice and clean code. JCE has everything you would ever want, I guess!

This absolutely rocks.



I recommend using the Advanced image manager plug-in, too, which adds a neat Lightbox and advanced image handling (e.g. text floating around images etc.) options.

The only problem I had was that the spell checker would not work. I finally found the solution. JCE was defaulting to google's engine, which only works with SSL. The engine that works best with most php installations is pspellshell, which was not in the config file and not selectable from the plugin screen. If you are clicking the spell checker and getting an error after awhile...read here in their support forum for the solution:

Without a doubt one of the BEST extensions I have ever had the pleasure of using!!



What can I say, the image and link managers alone are superb! This plugin and component are well worth the download.



Keep up the awesome work!!

Stuff having to go the long way round to make dodgy changes!! I wish I'd downloaded this awesome tool sooner!!! Makes editing so much easier right throughout my Joomla 1.0.15 and my Virtuemart 1.1.0. No problems with anything from the word 'go'. Worked immediately. I'm so looking forward to seeing where this little baby goes...photoshop style editing capabilities in your Joomla administration area???!!! THANKS!!!

I've just been slowly changing my sites from Joomla-1.0.x to Joomla-1.5.3. The standard editor is OK, but then I needed more. I use JCE on all of my Joomla-1.0.x sites but wanted to try something different. Big mistake. Don't waste your time with any other editors. JCE is the best. Easy to install, and it works well. What else can I say?
