capslock118 Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Hello, I am trying my best to search for this but I am not getting good results - perhaps I am not sure what to search for? Anyways, I am developing an admin section for a client. The client is going to have the ability to add pages. remove. and update pages for their web site. The data is all database driven. What I am looking for, since they are not very tech savy, is an HTML editor web front end that they can use. Whatever they put in the editor - on the admin page for say "add page" will be placed in one column in mysql - probably a blob type and lets call it the body field. The html editor will not simply be a form field where they can type in information - but that would be the essential part - but also have above that field all the nice point and click buttons. What I mean is if the admin highlights a section of text they wright in the body field and can click a button to change color, font size, type (i.e. bold, italic), make it a hyperlink (with the pop up for where to point to, anchor text etc), add an image etc. I have seen this type of thing on many web hosts that provide a web front end to edit pages. To that end I am assuming there must be a widget somewhere as logic tells me "do not re-invent the wheel". Does such a widget exist? Have I explained this well enough to show what I am talking about? Is there documentation about this? Again I have been doing my own research but I would love to hear from you if you happen to know if such a widget that I can place in the server code exists (like a module). -capslock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leonglass Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Have a look at these two editors. tinymce fckeditor Those give you something similar to the editor you used to edit your post and you can customise the number of buttons shown etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
